Super Robin

Super Robin is an episode of Teen Titans Go!, season 1.

Summary
Envious of the other Titans’ powers, Robin wants some of his own. After a disastrous scientific experiment goes awry, he convinces Raven to use her magic to give him powers.

Plot
The episode starts out the the H.I.V.E. Five robbing a bank. The Titans show up and each take on one member. Starfire takes on Billy Numerous, Cyborg takes on Gizmo, Raven takes on See-More, Beast Boy takes on Jinx, and Robin takes on Mammoth. Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy each take out their respective villains with ease because of their superpowers. They all offer to help Robin with Mammoth, but he refuses, and they all wait for him by eating hotdogs. Robin does defeat Mammoth, but with much struggle and to the point of exhausting himself.

They return to the Tower and Robin complains how they have it so easy because of their superpowers. All of them then tell him how much of a curse their powers are (except for Starfire, who says she's making meatloaf). Robin then tries to fuse himself with an actual robin bird to give him powers. The robin gets the abilities and gadgets of Robin and Robin just turns into a bird-man, but didn't get any actual powers.

He then reveals himself to the other Titans, saddened because it didn't work. Raven says she will give him powers, despite what she and the other Titans (except Starfire) have kept on saying to him about having powers a curse to him, but only if he does the chicken dance (which the other Titans had wanted too). Robin does it and Raven gives him powers. He leaves for a few seconds and returns, having solved all the world's problems and made meatloaf for dinner. This causes the Teen Titans to be disbanded because they are no longer needed.

Robin then applies for a normal job. It then goes to Robin a bit in the future, where his life is boring and sad and he misses his friends and being a Teen Titan. Eventually, it shows Robin in a hospital because of his old age and finally realizing that his powers really were a curse. It ends with the other Titans, also very old, sort of rubbing it in his face that superpowers are a curse. Robin then kicks the bucket.

Trivia

 * the blue pillow n the couch resembles Finn's hat from "Adventure Time"
 * Robin basically gained the powers of Superboy (Kryptonian powers plus tactile telekinesis).
 * He also had Superman's trademark curl in the hair
 * His telekinetic abilities seemed to have weakened with age as in his elder years he was unable to move his walker to him.
 * When Robin looks at the old picture of him with the Titans with a tied up villain, the villain was the Aquaman villain Black Manta.
 * Running Gags :
 * Starfire seems to be obsessed with meatloaf
 * The robin that gained Robin's abilities and gadgets keeps appearing and stealing the Titans' stuff
 * Robin's lab accident is a reference to the horror film classic, The Fly.
 * Starfire probably didn't think her powers were a curse because all Tamaraneans have powers.
 * When Robin is in the office messing around, he makes a Batman symbol out of staples and sticky note art that is basically a serpent with the Joker's head.
 * The way Cyborg defeats Gizmo with the small missile is similar to the tank missile scene from the first Iron Man film.
 * Raven seems to not be embarrassed with watching Pretty Pretty Pegasus in front of her friends now.
 * While waiting for Robin to finish with Mammoth, Beast Boy and Raven sit by each other and share a hotdog.
 * The ending of this episode is a reversal of the fates of the Teen Titans in the original show episode "How Long is Forever?" ; (Cyborg is abandoned, Beast Boy lives with the circus, Raven goes mad and secludes herself in a decrepit apartment, and Robin's the only successful individual who goes on to become Nightwing all because of Starfire's disappearance.) This time the Titans abandon Robin due to his ego and no use for having to work with him because he has powers and solved all the world's problems. It also seems due to their demeanor they went on to live interesting lives and stayed friends while never speaking to Robin again until he was on his deathbed.
 * Each Titan, except for Starfire (because she was busy preparing meatloaf), mentioned having superpowers as a curse, and for good reasons:
 * Raven is a half demon
 * Beast Boy has green skin
 * Cyborg is trapped in his robotic suit
 * Putting the Titans out of jobs because of his envy is Robin's curse
 * This is the third time that a Titan dies (Robin via heart attack, due to old age). One was in Ghostboy, where all of the Titans die, and the second was in Laundry Day, where Cyborg dies.
 * This is the third time a Teen Titan caused another Titan's death. In Ghostboy, Beast Boy caused the death of the Titans when they tried to save him, with himself dying accidentally. In Laundry Day, Beast Boy's smell killed Cyborg. In this episode, Robin caused his own death through a chain of events, though the rest of the Titans scared him by surprised in the end, putting him into cardiac arrest.
 * It is unknown if Robin becomes a ghost after this death.
 * When living in his dirty apartment, the overweight middle-aged Robin has made the Titans out of several inanimate objects. (Starfire is a mop with her face on it, Raven is a bean bag chair, Cyborg is a broom with a sweater and bucket, Beast Boy is a crudely spray-painted cat)
 * Beast Boy being a painted green cat refers to what he confesses to doing in "Dude Relax."
 * There is also a replacement Silkie, made out of a flour bag with forks.
