The H.I.V.E Five (Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination) are a group of teenage supervillains and the main antagonists of the series.
History
The H.I.V.E. Five is a group of super villains united under one goal: to destroy the Teen Titans. They also enjoy robbing banks and terrorizing Jump City. Their main HQ is the H.I.V.E. Tower, located within eye-range of Titans Tower.
In Super Robin, the H.I.V.E. Five try to rob a bank with their powers. The Titans arrive, and they begin their first battle. Robin attacks Mammoth, but struggles to defeat him. The other Titans defeat the rest of the team fairly easily, and wait for Robin to defeat Mammoth. Exhausted and injured, Robin finally manages to defeat Mammoth, and the villains are arrested.
The H.I.V.E. Five return to rob the same bank again in Artful Dodgers, and even hold civilians hostage with a bomb to prevent the Titans from beating them. However, the Titans still manage to defeat them. Within 24 hours, the H.I.V.E. escapes prison, in order to join the dodge ball league. Their unbeatable dodgeball team defeats the Teen Titans several times throughout the episode, until the Titans cheat their way til victory in the end.
The H.I.V.E fear Batman.
In Power Moves, the H.I.V.E. attackJump City, destroying everything in sight. The Titans arrive to defeat them, but before they can start the battle, Cyborg and Beast Boy decide to use the H.I.V.E. as test dumies to demonstrate the concept of "power moves" to the Titans.
In No Power, the H.I.V.E. smashes the bank wall. They simply walk in and walk out with the money. When they get outside, the Titans ambush them. The Titans all made a bet that involved not using their powers, so while Robin engages in combat with Mammoth, the other Titans use random objects off the street to violently beat up the villains.
The H.I.V.E. celebrates their victory over the Titans.
In Sidekick, the H.I.V.E. travels all the way to Gotham City. For unknown reasons, they are destroying everything and everyone in sight. Their attack comes to a halt when the Batmobile arrives, and the H.I.V.E. freezes in terror when they see the shadowy, bat-like figure exit the car. The figure turns out to be Starfire in a Batgirl costume, and the H.I.V.E. is angered to find their superhero nemesises traveled all the way across the country too. They all begin to battle, while the Titans use Batman's gadgets to fight them. Robin tries to take back all of Batman's gadgets, and causes his teammates to lose the battle. Gizmo manages to take Batman's "Ultimate Bat-a-rang", and throws it at the now tied-up Titans. The Bat-a-rang flies up into the sky, and explodes into fireworks. In the end, Robin manages to defeat them all with Batman's other gadgets.
In Legs, the H.I.V.E. makes a brief appearance, battling the Titans. Raven uses her legs to defeat Jinx by kicking her in the face at rapid speed. Each of the other villains are defeated quickly and easily by the Titans. Gizmo however escapes the battle, but is later defeated by Raven very quickly.
The H.I.V.E. fears the Titans' new violent behavior.
In Breakfast Cheese, the H.I.V.E. are bored and they start loitering in a no-loiterning zone. The Titans arrive and use extremly violent measures to K.O. all of the villains before sending them to prison. Later on, the H.I.V.E. escapes again, and continue loitering. The Titans, who have undergone a drastic change, come to defeat the villains with peace and love. The angry villains want revenge for the violent beating they suffered earlier, and ignore the Titans' attempts at peace. Within mere minutes, the Titans are nearly defeated, and the H.I.V.E. begins to torture them back. Robin whips out his staff to fight back, but gives Jinx some flowers instead. Jinx becomes flattered, and Robin even gives Gizmo a flower. The other Titans continue to do nice things to the H.I.V.E., and the villains eventually give up and befriend the Titans. Their friendship would not last, and the H.I.V.E. returned to villainy later on.
In Opposites, the H.I.V.E. attack a bank different bank than usual. While they exit, they start destroying everything in their way. The Titans arrive, and complain that the H.I.V.E. is evil again. They all engage in their most dramatic battle they've had yet. All of the H.I.V.E. are defeated, except Jinx, whom Cyborg lets get away because of his crush on her. While the outraged Titans chew him out, the other members of the H.I.V.E. sneak away and avoid capture. Later that day, when Jinx is at a cafe, Cyborg shows up to spy on her. When she finds him, she attacks him, but he doesn't fight back, and begins to flatter her. In a matter of minutes, Jinx and Cyborg are madly in love with each other. Cyborg gives Jinx a balloon that she takes back toH.I.V.E. Tower. While daydreaming about Cyborg, Gizmo asks her where she got the balloon. She lies and tells him that she stole it from a baby. A few days later, Cyborg and Jinx are at the park on a date, when Robin and Gizmo finally bust them. Gizmo forbids Jinx from seeing Cyborg again, and Robin forbids Cyborg from seeing Jinx again. Later at home, Jinx cries and cries, until Gizmo finally decides that they can all give up their villainous ways so she and Cyborg can be together. The H.I.V.E. Five become superheroes, and respond to a distress call in Jump City. When they arrive, they find the Titans robbing the bank they robbed earlier. Ironically, the Titans also switched sides so Jinx and Cyborg could be together. However, since they are now villains, and the H.I.V.E. are now heroes, they all begin to battle again. Jinx and Cyborg argue until they break up, and both teams switch back to their original sides. However, Cyborg and Jinx immediately reconcile their relationship and kiss.
In In and Out, the H.I.V.E. plan to upgrade part of their base into a battle station in space. Robin discovers this, and disguises himself as a villain. The H.I.V.E. allow him to join, and later let all of the other Titans join, completely oblivious to their disguises. The Titans become rude and annoying, and Jinx orders Gizmo to get rid of them. Gizmo decides to blow up H.I.V.E. Tower instead of making them leave. The Titans discover this, and they reveal their identities, and break out into an epic battle with the villains. The Tower blows up, leaving the H.I.V.E. without a home. Strangely, instead of arresting the H.I.V.E., the Titans allow the H.I.V.E. to move into Titans Tower. The H.I.V.E. become annoying roommates similar to how the Titans were, which causes Robin to blow up Titans Tower.
In Money Grandma, the H.I.V.E do another bank robbery, and all the Teen Titans (except Robin) fight with the group. Later in the tower, he replays the video of the battle and has his face edited onto the other titans.

Trivia
- Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth are primarily focused on in the group, and are the main antagonists. Billy Numerous and See-More are supporting antagonists to the others.
- Despite being called the H.I.V.E Five, Kyd Wykkyd was also part of the evil super group in the original series.
- Private H.I.V.E. was also a member of the group in the original series for a short while.
- There was also an error (likely done on purpose) in the original series when Jinx, Gizmo, Mammoth, Billy Numerous, See-More, and Kyd Wykkyd were all in the H.I.V.E. Five, and it was pointed out by Kid Flash that there are six of them and it therefore was odd for them to be called the H.I.V.E. Five if there were 6 of them.
- They took Kyd Wykkyd out of the series so the team name would make more sense.
- Kyd Wykkyd is still a villain of the Teen Titans, seen in Nose Mouth .
- They are said to be an unbeatable dodgeball team in the episode Artful Dodgers.
- Their dodgeball team is called the H.I.V.E. Fivers.
- Even though Gizmo, Jinx, and Mammoth first appeared separately, the whole team first appeared together in Super Robin.
- Like the Titans, the H.I.V.E Five have a group vehicle: the H.I.V.E. Five Monster Van.
- The H.I.V.E fear Batman as shown in Sidekick.
- Jinx was the leader in the original Teen Titans series. It seemed like she was the leader in this series at first, but it was comfirmed in Opposites that she isn't. Instead, she's second-in-command.
