Background
Menos is a young boy around age 12 who, with his twin brother, Más, fights crime with the rest of Titans East. He and Más speak only in Spanish. Along with the minus symbol on his costume, Menos can be told apart from his brother because he has one less tooth.

Nothing is known of Más before making his first appearance in "Titans East Part 1."

Menos, along with the rest of Titans East, was captured and hypnotized by Brother Blood at the end of the episode and later used in an attempt to help Blood take out Cyborg. Under the control of Blood, they used their tremendous speed to attack the Teen Titans, who had come to Cyborg's aid.

After being freed, the speedy twins attempt to win the heart of Starfire by bringing her flowers, candy, and teddy bears. As the Titans leave, the two are left fighting between themselves over the Tamaranian.

The team wasn't seen again until "For Real," in which they were called upon to watch the Tower while the Titans were out fighting the Brotherhood. At the beginning of the episode, Más and his brother encounter a unilingual Control Freak. With the use of his remote, he makes the twin speedsters speak English for the rest of the episode.

In the episode, Control Freak devises challenges for each of the Titans. For Más y Menos, he rigged up a device which required the twins to touch the buttons on top at the exact same time. After running back and forth, and even coming up with the idea of rigging a long line of clothespins together, the two finally come up with a viable plan. By standing on the middle tower, they ran together in circles and launched off in the direction of each tower at the same time, successfully landing on and defusing the bomb.

After Control Freak zapped himself to the middle of the city, Más y Menos took the remote back and changed their language function back to Spanish.

During "Calling All Titans," the two were attacked by Johnny Rancid and Cinderblock, the two of whom captured Menos and froze him in ice.

During the final fight, Más freed his brother from his icy state and the two helped Kid Flash seal the rest of the villains in ice.

Personality
Menos, like his brother, is a laid back little boy who loves to have fun. He and Más enjoy playing GameStation 2, and tormenting Aqualad with fish tacos.

Along with Aqualad, they love to taunt villains with their super speed, which they state is seven times faster than the speed of sound. During "Titans East Part 1," they literally run circles around Steamroller, yelling "Aquí!" ["here!"] as they stop momentarily. Despite being laid back, the twins became annoyed at the ineptitude of their team during their first fight. Like many other speedsters, they are cocky perfectionists.

The two have a strong attachment to Cyborg and are enamored of Starfire.

Along with their speed, the two have a magnetic connection, which Más used to find Menos in the Brotherhood of Evil's hideout in "Titans Together."
