Tim Teslow also known as "The Titan", is a minor antagonist in the season 1 of Batwoman.
Teslow was a professional football player until he became an amazingly brutal monster with a short temper after taking massive doses of steroids. His dorsal posterior insular was also seriously damaged by years of head traumas, thus making him insensitive to pain.
He was portrayed by Terrence Terrell.
Overview[]
Tim Teslow played tight end for the Gotham Goliaths. He made a touch down every game, over 100 catches and 1,000 yards every season. He was regarded as the team's best tight end of all time and nicknamed "The Titan" due to his brutal reputation. However, unbeknownst to the public, Teslow's brain was missing key components and had taken steroids which made him extremely aggressive and inhumanly strong. He was remanded to Arkham Asylum after killing a referee who called out Tim's penalty and later escaped along with several other inmates due to the action's of Alice.
Teslow began hunting down and killing those who ruined his career starting with the doctor responsible for covering up his medical condition. He then confronts his younger brother and former teammate Apollo who testified against him. Despite Batwoman's attempt to stop him, Teslow stabs Apollo through the spine with a machete and escapes. In order to catch Teslow, Batwoman allies herself with the Crows and uses his final target to lure him into a trap. The Titan fights Batwoman at Goliath stadium and ends up getting killed by several agents just as Batwoman is able to get through to him.
Personality[]
Teslow was originally a caring person who walked kids that lived in his neighborhood to the bus to make sure they wouldn't get hurt. However, due to steroids and head trauma from playing football, he snapped and became a killer. When Kate Kane tried to reason with Teslow by saying she knew that this wasn't the real him, The Titan admitted he didn't want to be killer showing that there was still good inside of him.
