Argent (Toni Monetti) is asuperheroine appearing inAmerican comic books published byDC Comics. She first appears in issue #1 of the second series of theTeen Titans comics and remains a regular member of the team until the events ofGraduation Day, whenNightwing disbands the group.[1]
Toni Monetti is the daughter of a formerU.S. Senator fromNew Jersey. Around the time she turns sixteen, Toni's skin turns silver and she is abducted by theH'San Natall. She and three other teenagers -Isaiah Crockett,Cody Driscoll, and Audrey Spears - learn that they are part H'San Natall and were intended as part of asleeper agent program to help the species take over Earth. With the funding of Loren Jupiter, the teens found a new incarnation of theTeen Titans.[2]
During a battle with Loren Jupiter's son Jarrod, the supervillain known as Haze, Isaiah Crockett is badly burnt and apparently killed.[3] Shortly afterward, Loren disbands the Teen Titans. While operating as an independent hero, Argent helps Robin deal with a group of drug dealers affiliated with her father.[4] Argent and the Titans later learn that Isaiah survived and was healed by the H'San Natall.
WhenNightwing,Troia,Flash,Tempest, andArsenal, the founding members of the Teen Titans, reform the group in the wake of the Technis Imperative conflict, Argent is invited to join.[5] InOne Year Later, Argent dates and later breaks up with teammateMolecule.
At some point, Argent falls victim to theDark Side Club and is forced to fight other captivemetahumans at the behest of theNew Gods. Argent is rescued byMiss Martian, who takes her and the other prisoners toTitans Tower. Argent is offered a spot on the Teen Titans byWonder Girl, but declines.[6]
Argent can generate solid energy constructs out of silverplasma, 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.
