Den of Geek is reporting that Dwain Murphy (Star Trek: Discovery, The Strain) is set to play Larry Trainor / Negative Man in the live-action Teen Titans show. His character description reads:
“A pilot in the Air Force, Larry Trainor crashed his plane and was exposed to a mysterious “negative” energy. Wrapped in bandages to protect those around him, Larry struggles with this new strange power.”
