According to myth, a meeting could be held with Kalzar, the Wizard of Weakness, atop Mount Achilles. The journey was an arduous one. Those seeking Kalzar would have to endure frozen tundra and reach the top before the full moon sets below the highest peak. Starfire decided to meet with the wizard so she could find out what her weakness was and believed she could get to the top very fast with her superpowers. However, the other Titans volunteered to go with her and only slowed her down. Eventually, the temperature dropped below 65 degrees and Robin was frozen solid. Starfire sighed and carried him over her shoulder. To her annoyance, the others stopped to build a snowman. She blew it up and pleaded them to continue the journey without any additional delays. Beast Boy had to go use the bathroom. Starfire grunted and relented. He turned into a dog and couldn't decide where to pee. Starfire had it and chucked Robin. He was freed from the ice block but immediately froze solid again. Starfire took off without them and met Kalzar.
Kalzar warned her that some things are better left unknown then asked her if she still wanted to know what her weakness was. She still did. He proceeded and her weakness was printed out from his booth. She learned her weakness was her friends and could not believe it. He explained they held her back then pointed out she could have come to the peak hours ago if she came alone. He believed she could even be a queen, an empress, or an all-powerful demigod. The other Titans arrived but Starfire was hesitant to tell them what her weakness turned out to be. They were shocked, too. Kalzar declared they were holding her back from true power. The other Titans took offense and attacked him. Beast Boy thought he was lying and kicked the booth. Kalzar warned him to stop. Robin attacked the booth's glass with his staff. Cyborg tackled the booth then stomped it. Beast Boy turned into a donkey then back kicked it, shattering the glass.
The booth took on an aura of fury and rose up. Kalzar's eyes turned red and the booth morphed into a giant mech. He declared they would pay for their insolence then he pounded the ground. Beast Boy turned into a wolf and pounced. Kalzar fired a chest blast and hit Beast Boy, instantly forming a cone around him - his weakness. Raven tried to cast a spell but he covered her in packing peanuts. Cyborg powered on his arm cannon but a TV appeared near him and played his weakness, Steel Magnolias. He was reduced to tears because of the cemetery scene. Robin hoped on the shoulders of the mech and Kalzar noted he was the "most difficult Titan" of all. Robin perked up. Kalzar added because he had so many weaknesses, it was too hard to choose. He settled on untied shoelaces. Robin fell off and landed on his face. Kalzar addressed Starfire and asked her if she saw how weak and pathetic her friends were. She took offense and powered up then hit the mech with a huge Starbolt blast.
Starfire declared the love she had for her friends was not a weakness but the greatest of her strengths then prompted the Titans to turn their weaknesses into strengths. Kalzar became worried. Raven formed the packing peanuts around her to form a huge behemoth then decked Kalzar. Beast Boy used his cone to amplify his wolf howl, blowing up the peak. Cyborg directed his tears towards Kalzar and he slipped. Robin charged, tripped, rolled under Kalzar, and knocked his plug out of its socket. Kalzar lamented his one weakness and shut down.
