Bob Haney plus a Christmas Carol?
The Titans get involved when Jacob Farely breaks out of prison to haunt his old partner, Ebenezer Scrounge. Seems Scrounge has a new partner, the titular Mr. Big. What does he do? He smuggles worthless junk into the States then uses his ray gun to transform the stuff into brand new items.
So, this guy has a gun that can turn a broken bicycle into a brand new and his idea is to use it to cheat duty fees? Like America doesn't have broken bicycles?
The Titans decide to save Mr. Scrounge from this fate by doing the whole Ghost of Christmas jazz. They also read comics featuring their mentors, which is odd if you think about it.
