Fictional character biography
Teen Titans
Toni Monetti is the daughter of a former U.S. Senator from New Jersey. Unbeknownst to her, she and several other teens are alien hybrids created by the H'San Natall. With the funding of Loren Jupiter, they join the Teen Titans, with Toni becoming Argent.[2][3][4] When members Prysm and Fringe decide to stay in space, the team disbands.[1]
The Titans
When Nightwing, Troia, Flash, Tempest, and Arsenal reform the Teen Titans in the wake of the Technis Imperative conflict, Argent is invited to join.[5] In One Year Later, Argent dates and later breaks up with teammate Molecule.
Final Crisis and later appearances
At some point, Argent falls victim to the Dark Side Club and is forced to fight other captive metahumans at the behest of the New Gods. Argent is rescued by Miss Martian, who takes her and the other former prisoners to Titans Tower. While there, Argent is offered a spot on the Teen Titans by Wonder Girl, but declines.[6]
Powers and abilities
Argent can generate solid energy constructs out of silver plasma, such as protective shields, daggers, and battering rams. While she initially could not fly, she can create slides and flying platforms to carry herself and others through the air.
