The Kronos Titan by Zearoe on Reddit.

Titans are capes who have experienced a broken second trigger,<ref>it is what the humans call a second trigger. It is what humans call a broken trigger, though this is wrong.

It is a failure to support. A desperate clutching at a well too intense and dangerous, collecting waste and fragments, extrapolating out wildly, without program or logic. - Excerpt from Heavens 12.all</ref> and have undergone an unnatural metamorphosis, causing them to merge with their shard.

Appearance

Titans all differ greatly in appearance, with the capes individuals shards deeply affecting their appearance in titan form. One thing that is consistent is that every Titan is off an enormous size, easily clearing buildings. Fume Hood is noted as a smaller Titan than several others, and she is around six or seven stories.<ref>The screen showed a distant view of the others. Kronos, turned to look to one side. The fuming titan, now visible at her full height. Maybe six or seven stories tall, small compared to the others, her head more like a cowl or hood of black crystal, no face visible beneath, with the gas leaking out resembling long hair left to drape out, tumbling down her front until it dissolved. - Excerpt from Interlude 17.z II</ref>

Power Level

Titans are of significantly more potent power than their former selves were, their shards have been fully brought to bare.<ref>Peanuckle: What I'd like to know is what sorts of abilities the shards can perform without limiters. Judging by QA and Khepri, shards are pretty much bullshit. But what about shards like Grue's, or Tattletale's, or Grey Boy's, acting outside a host to defend their Entity-body? Is there any comparison, or are "unshackled" powers so far beyond what we see that it's laughable?

Wildbow: Look at Noelle or the Bitch epilogue chapter for what a shard does when it's really unleashed - depending on the host, the nature of the unleashed power can vary, specializing as it develops toward a task/specific implementation.

Grue's power would just spew darkness out in very direction to pretty much blanket and isolate an entire city, his body would become a vehicle for the power, and he'd mutate, quite possibly turning the 'tap into other passengers' ability into a link to just absorb power. Broken/dead shard, he'd continue doing so until those passengers lashed out, creating isolated, power-based effects/chunks of Grue in the midst of the city.

Tattletale's power would just scale up constantly in power, reach, and intensity of detail. The shard might not have broken 100% clean - Scion might have given it some tools somewhere in there, so I can imagine a Tattletale-sub-entity scaling up to a breaker state or tapping into a tinker ability to network/develop more hardware/brainware to process it all. Scale up to processing multiple dimensions at once, and develop/manifest/obtain a weapon. Going back to the tools Scion gave, a simple blaster power with a clean, possibly invisble terrain-penetrating laser, with Full-bore-tattletale focus at work to discern the best possible weak point? Or even just a Tattletale in the middle of it, holding a gun? Picture her systematically picking off threats one after another, from highest priority to lowest, from the center of the incident sites, maximum range.

Basically, you unshackle, the power scales up, the mind/body start to break down, and if the host is lucky, the shard can provide some means of housing the new data and form.

Standalone, without a host, the manifestation for the shard itself confronted in its own world, would be very similar in execution. - Wildbow of Spacebattles</ref> Thus they are able to tank untold attacks and dish out lethal ones with seeming ease. The Wardens noted that a consistent thing among all the titans is that they got a vast increase in durability and reach.<ref>Radiation 18.2</ref>

Every Titan has the full capabilities of their shard, and are able to use many more abilities than their original parahuman self could use. The other abilities they can use are presumably ones that they could have given to other capes.<ref>“There’s more of them. Each one has the full capabilities of the agent that originally worked with the host. All of the powers it could have handed out.” - Excerpt from Radiation 18.4</ref>

History

Assault on the Time Bubbles

The first Titan was created when March popped a time bubble that held Dauntless, Alabaster, and Jotun within. Dauntless and Alabaster immediately began to have a broken trigger, with Dauntless ultimately subsuming Alabaster and becoming the Kronos Titan.

Jotun was incapacitated by March before his Second Trigger took effect, sparing him from becoming a Titan.

The Ice Breaks

When Fume Hood broken triggered into a Titan, the ice broke and many other capes soon followed. Some immediately started attempting to form a network with one another.

Titan Eve began approaching Titan Oberon with the goal of subsuming him. The two fought.
