Traits: He likes to bust criminals, but is also prone to steal from them just for the thrill of it.

Relationships with the other Titans:

-Robin: He hates Colt's devious nature of stealing even if it's from a villain and on occasion being aloof a lot of the time at night. Colt however likes him a lot and loves to poke playful fun at his ultra-serious demeanor. Although Robin and Colt have a rocky working relationship, both of them are eventually close friends on a personal level and share stories of their families crime fighting histories.

-Cyborg: Out of all the Titans, the both of them share the best working relationship because of them learning each others contrasting styles on how to hack and infiltrate enemy databases along with their love for deep dish pizza (something them and Robin/Beast Boy really differ on). Cyborg and Colt watch football games together and invite Robin to join on trips to Jump City Tigers games (the city's pro baseball team).

-Beast Boy: Him and Colt have the most frigid relationship out of the group and Beast Boy has animosity towards Colt for allegedly trying to steal his best friend (Cyborg) and his love interest (Raven). Colt and Beast Boy have relatively little in common and don't seem to get along outside of group outings. While they're able to work and communicate together on missions, they have little contact with each other outside of it.

-Starfire: Things are rather cordial between Colt and Starfire. Colt is fascinated and yet also puzzled by some of Starfire's mannerisms and upbringing as an alien from a faraway planet, but he knows she has the best intentions. Starfire loves to learn and hear about things from Earth (specifically the US) in the past as Colt is an encyclopedia both mentally and physically of a generation long before the present. Colt has also initiated a potential romantic relationship between Starfire and Robin, talking up to Starfire about what makes Robin a real catch and how his rough exterior can be penetrated. Essentially the two of them are good friends.

-Raven: Colt has a crush on Raven. Plain and simple. His curious mind became infatuated with Raven's mysteriousness, dark powers, attitude and outfit. Despite Beast Boy's constant advances, she seems taken by Tyler's own mystique, fashion sense and reserved nature. However she is never afraid to knock him down a peg whenever Colt gets a little too arrogant for his own good or dates himself through his old tyme references.

While he's given subtle hints of his attraction to her and the same to him, they've yet to pursue anything outside of a working relationship due to Colt's preference to staying single (and keeping options open).
