The comics were originally meant as a sort of parody of japanese pop culture. Lots of sentai fighting, super saiyen battles, aliens, ninjas, samurai, kaiju, et cetera. In fact, all of the characters were originally asian in ethnicity, and I'm thinking they changed that here to try and use the Teen Titans gambit of having their team represent multiple niches (or in this case, different races). It's also like adding Hawkwoman and Jon Stewart/Green Lantern in the Justice League cartoon.
