 Terra (Comic Book)
comment
Terra is a 2009 four issue DC Comics miniseries by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti with art by Amanda Conner. The comic stars Atlee of the subterranean Strata culture who has volunteered to become their new champion on the surface even though the process to become champion drove the previous two mad. Atlee learns about secret identities from Power Girl after her constant use of her powers causes her to black out and decides to get permission to use superhero name Terra on the surface from the brother of the now deceased first girl to use that name.While Atlee is the third hero to use the name Terra she is the first to get her own series. For a character sheet containing tropes relating to Altee and how she developed as a character over time see the Power Girl character sheet, for tropes relating to the previous user of the title Terra see here.

Scenery Censor: There are several panels of this when a nude Atlee regains consciousness, jumps off the treatment table, and flounces angrily around Dr. Mid-Nite's office looking for her clothes.

Heroic RRoD: Atlee using her powers constantly without rest causes her to blackout after her rescuing a community from the Lavarians. She remains unconscious long enough for Power Girl to carry her from South America to the JSA's headquarters on the US's east coast and for Dr. Mid-Nite to run a number of tests on her before she wakes up.

Dug Too Deep: Richard Faulkner's experiments with his drill tank dig deep enough to find a pool of Quixium, and while he does get superpowers from his exposure to it he starts becoming unhinged as well, like several others who gained powers from the liquid "metal".

Stock "Yuck!": When Atlee decides to take up Power Girl's offer of friendship the Kryptonian takes her out for sushi since Terra doesn't know what surface foods she likes. Atlee ends up letting every bite she takes fall out of her mouth with a disgusted face until Karen interrupts their meal to take her for a burger instead.

Redeeming Replacement: Both of the previous Terras went a little mad, and the first one was an outright villain. Altee is concerned she may be headed for the same fate as the second Terra who was created through the same process as she, but there are no signs of such and she is instead just a kindhearted if intense girl.
