Lilith Clay is a fictional character who appears in DC Comics' Teen Titans titles. She is the best friend of Donna Troy (the first Wonder Girl), and the second hero to join the original Teen Titans after its founders, the first being Speedy. Although her origin and powers have varied significantly throughout her history - though in not as nearly a convoluted a manner as Donna Troy's - she is consistently seen as both precognitive and psychic.

Originally living in peace at home, Lilith started to manifest strange mental powers at the age of 13. She read her parents' minds to find she was adopted, then left home to try to find her birth parents. After some trouble, she ended up working as a dancer at the Canary Cottage disco. During this time, she encountered Loren Jupiter, and began to aid him in his cause.

Soon, Lilith approached the Teen Titans and asked to join. She saw premonitions involving a political figure, who inevitably died, proving her power. She then became a member of the Teen Titans. Once joining the team after her first appearance (Teen Titans #25, first series), she would remain with the team for the remainder of its original run (through Teen Titans #43, first series), as well as guest starring both with and without the team in other DC titles: The Brave and the Bold #94 (in which she is directly responsible for preventing a bombing in Gotham City), Batman #'s 241-242, and World's Finest Comics #205.

Eventually, she left the team and resettled on the West Coast, where she started a new branch of the Titans (known as Titans West). She briefly dated one of her team members, Don Hall (Dove) before leaving him to begin a relationship with the caveman Gnarrk.

Prior to the disbanding of the original Teen Titans and their Titans West counterpart group, Lilith revealed that she had a vision of her teammate Donna Troy (Wonder Girl) marrying a red headed man, who is horrifically murdered along with their child. At the time, Donna was dating her teammate (and red head) Roy Harper. Fearing Lilith's prophecy, Donna broke up with Roy.

Lilith rejoined the team following a reunion with her teammates for the wedding of Donna Troy and Terry Long (who Lilith's prophecy ended up actually referencing to). She mentioned that something terrible had happened to Gnarrk, who was not with her at the wedding but would not elaborate. She soon began to be stalked by a mysterious winged creature called Azreal, who sought to make her his mate. However, after nearly being killed by her teammate Changling (who was impersonating Deathstroke the Terminator, in a bid to get him acquitted at trial so he could murder him afterword). Furious at what Changling did, Lilith resigned from the Titans.
