New Teen Titans #17 is an issue of the series New Teen Titans (Volume 1) with a cover date of March, 1982.
Synopsis for "The Possessing of Francis Kane!"
After an automobile accident that killed her father and brother but which she survived, Frances Kane, a long-time friend of Wally (Kid Flash) West, seemingly becomes a focus of destructive supernatural energies, and her mother becomes involved in witchcraft and seances. Wally brings Raven to investigate, and eventually the entire Titans team becomes embroiled in the affair. Despite their efforts, the energies emanating from the girl almost destroy Titans' Tower and New York. Cyborg deduces that the energies are magnetic, not magical, in nature, and uses a S.T.A.R.-created anti-magnetic device to cure Frances. Unknown to the Titans, Francis's "posession" is actually caused by Green Lantern's enemy, Dr. Polaris, in an attempt to free himself from an extra-dimensional exile.
