- The Riddler? The Riddler? That does it! I've had it! That no-talent, no-powered cretin succeeds... While I, whose power is second only to Green Lantern's, have failed in my every criminal attempt! Well, now Doctor Light is really mad!
New Teen Titans #19 is an issue of the series New Teen Titans (Volume 1) with a cover date of May, 1982.
Synopsis for "The Light Fantastic!"
Escaping from prison and swearing off his vendettas against super-heroes, Doctor Light robs an Indian museum exhibit, only to run afoul of visiting museum curator Carter Hall in his Hawkman identity. When he accidentally brings to life powerful incarnations of the deity Vishnu, Light deliberately leads the creatures to Teen Titans headquarters, hoping his foes will be destroyed while protecting him from the vengeful mythological beings. When Robin and Hawkman capture Light and learn how he activated the creatures, Starfire uses her starbolts, focused through Dr. Light's special lenses, to destroy the beings, and Light is returned to jail.
