Personality[]

History[]
While the Teen Titans explain that every arch-nemesis is around the world, Starfire mentions Rainbow Raider as Flash's arch-nemesis with a backdrop of him in it. Later on, after the Titans changed the all of the heroes' pasts, Rainbow Raider was in the villain rampage by attacking people with arts.
Rainbow Raider later makes his series debut in "Real Art". As he is stealing art from the art gallery, he comes face to face with the Titans and to escape from them, he begins to travel in the world of different paintings via his rainbow rays that also serve as his portals. After a long chase, the Titans arrive at the Bedroom of Arles which is his secret headquarters, and he reveals that the public doesn't appreciate his art despite him loving drawing since his childhood and has been drawing ever since. When he reveals himself to be Starfire's cat painting, Starfire is overjoyed, but the four others criticize the painting as garbage, which infuriates him and he orders the cat from his painting to attack them through different ways. After his cat successfully defeats the Titans except for Starfire, he finally gets appreciated for making "real art", but he and Starfire choose to not forgive the four others easily and subsequently trap them inside a frame as punishment despite them having realized the lesson of real art.
