Bit behind since I was In A Place where Al Gore's Internets would not allow me to access the Reply script.

Anyways, it seems that "Titanhood"--be it "Normal" to "Abnormal" to "Shifter"--is something that is aquired rather than inherited either through injection or "ingestion." I would not try to think too much on the science on these things. For example, the cerebrospinal fluid of the spine is the same as for the brain and if that was all that was required a simple spinal tap could make anyone a "Shifter." However, it seems The Beast [Tm.--Ed.] Titan has the ability to make normal everyday slobs into various "Normal" Titans of varying degrees of cognition. Do not know if that is planned or not. Anyways, I doubt he is force injecting towns-full of people! The creation of Titans which included one of the character's mothers seemed quite sudden.

I suspect this was all something created to bring mankind together against a "common threat" after Something happened like WWIII or a Justin Beber concert. Titans keep the human herd down and manageable and it is all "peace" in the mind of the First King. It seems that when "he" is passed on, even those who would object to his idea of peace fall in line.
