"You are waiting for the cash reward aren't you?"

- Killer Moth in Missing

Killer Moth is a villain of the Teen Titans who made his debut in Missing.

Bio
Killer Moth, an enemy of both the Teen Titans and Batman, is the father of Kitten. He is an entomologist who studies mutations as well as a super villain. Killer Moth's ultimate goal is to rule Jump City with his army of mutated moths. He originally created Silkie along with many other moths, but all of the moths were either destroyed or missing, except for Silkie, who became the Titans' pet and mascot after they defeated him. His weapon is a prismatic whip

In Missing, Killer Moth unleashes an army of moths upon Jump City. However, before they can even get to the city, they are all smashed by the T-Plane, which was on its way to Killer Moth's Lair. The Titans reveal Silkie to Killer Moth, who had recently put out a reward for his return. Moth thanks them and pays them, and starts cuddling Silkie. At first, Killer Moth seems to really care about Silkie, until he throws him in a vat of chemicals to transform him into a killing machine. Much to his disappointment, Silkie transforms into a gigantic, friendly worm who can talk. Silkie refuses to kill Starfire and Raven, like Killer Moth ordered him to. Killer Moth angrily walks away, avoiding arrest.
