Someone on the previous thread mentioned how Raven is very much an original direction for the Titans and I definitely agree with that. Unlike Starfire and Cyborg, who were linked to prior established ideas, Raven's mythology is utterly original.
However, she like Trigon, is an update of a pretty common archetype especially in Kirby comics, which is the forsaken creation/child ala Silver Surfer and Orion. I think the biggest difference is beyond the obvious anti-christ imagery, is that the saviours of Raven, the monks of Azaroth, in contrast to High Father/New Genesis where it was this genuinely loving place where Orion felt no anger, Wolfman gave the archetype resentment and a lot more inner conflicts regarding both themselves and their adopted parents.
