The Judas Contract, by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, is the most famous story arc of the Teen Titans franchise.Once upon a time, Changeling met Terra, a teenager with a lovely face, the metahuman ability to manipulate rocks, and the social skills of Wolverine. He immediately fell in love with her, despite the fact that she was a villain robbing banks, and believed he could redeem her. The Titans discovered that she was forced to commit crimes by a terrorist group that claimed they held her parents hostage, though it turns out that her parents had actually died. Changeling noticed a few lies—things that did not make sense—but the Titans eventually accepted Terra as one of them anyway. Terra took issue with the Titans concealing their secret identities, so as they came to trust her, they revealed their true identities to her.A week after that reveal, Deathstroke captures most of the Titans by setting traps at their homes. Dick Grayson, who had resigned from the Robin persona and become Nightwing, manages to escape the trap. He soon confirms that he's the only free Titan left, and while at Titan Tower, he's surprised by Adeline, Deathstroke's ex-wife, who reveals details about Slade's activities - including Terra's betrayal of the Titans. Adeline's son, Jericho, joins Nightwing and travels to the country where Deathstroke has taken the Titans for H.I.V.E. While Nightwing saves the Titans, Jericho possesses the body of his father and attacks Terra with it. Thinking that Deathstroke has turned against her, an enraged Terra goes on a literal earth-shattering rampage and eventually kills herself.The original Teen Titans animated series dedicated the bulk of its second season to a version of this storyline. After years in Development Hell, a stand-alone Animated Adaptation—Teen Titans: The Judas Contract—was released in 2017. The third season of Young Justice also incorporates elements of the storyline. 2017's The Lazarus Contract, a crossover between Titans (Rebirth), Teen Titans (Rebirth) and Deathstroke (Rebirth), serves as a Spiritual Successor to this storyline. | |

Secret Identity | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_112890b3 | comment |
Secret Identity: Exploited by Slade Wilson in court. He openly admits that he was Deathstroke once, but that he wasn't the same Deathstroke the Titans fought, and the "second" Deathstroke had taken his secret identity and costume. | |

Underestimating Badassery | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: For all his smarts, Deathstroke makes a huge mistake in saving Dick Grayson for the last Titan to capture and, more importantly, just breaking into his apartment to beat him rather than a clever trap. Deathstroke assumes that a powerless and non-costumed Dick will be an easy capture, ignoring the tiny fact the man has spent half his life trained by Batman. He even lampshades it afterward, noting there's a reason Dick was the leader and far more capable than Slade figured he'd be. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: Deathstroke has a contract to capture the Teen Titans and deliver them to H.I.V.E., and he accomplished it. Now, what happens with the Titans after that (even if it means a case of Bond Villain Stupidity and the escape of the Titans) is none of his business. If H.I.V.E. wants the Titans again, they'll have to pay him rather than hide behind Loophole Abuse. No refunds. | |

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: When Wintergreen was captured by the Vietcong, Slade asked the military to take him again: he was sure that he would be able to rescue Wintergreen, even if he had to make the mission alone. He was rejected. So he created the "Deathstroke" persona, headed to Vietnam, and rescued Wintergreen all by himself. | |

Eyedscreen: Raven feels that Terra is evil, but she's still unsure, because her powers aren't working correctly at the time. And one day, during a training session, Terra briefly reveals her true colors and tries to kill Gar. She claims it's because his pranks reminded her of the time with the terrorists. She begs them to believe her, as Raven stares at her with a deep and deep vision, ending in an eyedscreen... but no: Raven doesn't realize Terra's intentions before she carries out the plan. | |

Late-Arrival Spoiler: Finding out that Terra was The Mole was a big surprise in its day. Nowadays, after several decades with her betrayal as a recurring past plot element for the Titans (including new Terras), and an animated series where Terra also joined the Titans to betray them, nobody should be surprised to read that. | |

Bond Villain Stupidity: The Titans have been captured and are held at H.I.V.E.'s machine. Rather than kill them then and there, the organization leaders decide to wait a whole day for their chief to show up for the execution. This gives Dick Grayson more than enough time to locate his friends and foil the villains' operation. Downplayed with Deathstroke, who painstakingly entraps nearly every member of the Titans... and then barges headlong into Dick Grayson's apartment to duke it out with him mano a mano. | |

Character Shilling | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_77552932 | comment |
Character Shilling: Part 2 does a lot to show off Dick Grayson by having the Wilson family buff his reputation up as they interact with and spy on him. Unfortunately, the reason Dick gets to be so awesome relies on Deathstroke playing Idiot Ball — the Terminator makes a point of tricking or sabotaging the superpowered teenagers and then raiding Grayson's apartment for a one-on-one fight, and when Dick successfully fights back, Slade starts going on about how this makes Grayson "the best" of the Titans. (As an excuse, both he and his ex-wife figure he's personally going through Villain Decay, but Adeline goes on to give props to Dick's detective skills to salvage Slade's dubious judgment). | |

Corrupted Character Copy | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_922ec657 | comment |
Corrupted Character Copy: In interviews of the time, Wolfman and Perez gave their reasons for making Terra so irredeemably evil: They wanted to shock the hell out of fans who expected Terra to be the Titan's version of Marvel's Kitty Pryde. The Titans were seen by many as DC's answer to the huge success of Claremont's X-Men, and so the creators wanted to subvert the expectation. Unfortunately they did so in a way that is seen as deeply troubling today. | |

Meaningless Villain Victory: Slade succeeds in delivering the Titans to H.I.V.E. and avenging his son but isn't paid for it since Grant was paid in his upgrades, not money. He escapes with his life from Terra's rampage but knowing his surviving son and ex-wife hate him. While he manages to convince a jury to acquit him after a semi-reduced prison sentence, Slade talks down Beast Boy from murdering him while knowing the Titans won't hold back the next time they meet. By the end of this, Slade understandably says that he's tired that after all this because he gained nothing and lost his family. | |

Selective Obliviousness: Changeling will always believe that Terra was a mole or that she was being controlled by Slade, despite all the evidence to the contrary, including Terra's own explicit remarks. Cyborg, on the other hand, is not so naïve. When they're all captured and Deathstroke announces that Terra aided him, he believes it immediately: now it all fell into place. | |

Mirror Character: Gar and Slade have such a moment sometime after this story. Gar challenges Slade to a fight to the death, and he accepts. Both of them want to put an end to the whole thing. On one side, Gar is at Terra's grave, thinking that he must do this for her, to avenge her, so she can rest in peace. And on the other side, Slade is at Grant Wilson's grave, thinking that he must do it for him, to end the whole thing started by his unfinished contract, so that he can rest in peace. | |

Big "NO!" | |

Big "NO!": In the trial of Slade Wilson, his relation to the crimes cannot be proven. Gar doesn't take it lightly. | |

"Eureka!" Moment | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_d129e13e | comment |
Cyborg, on the other hand, is not so naïve. When they're all captured and Deathstroke announces that Terra aided him, he believes it immediately: now it all fell into place. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: After hitting a Rage Breaking Point, Terra decides to bring down the entire H.I.V.E. headquarters, killing everyone there. Ironically, she ends up being the only casualty of the collapse. | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_d73e0f7f | comment |
"Ray of Hope" Ending: It's a pretty bleak arc. While the Titans manage to break out from the H.I.V.E. and gain a new team member in Jericho, Slade got away with kidnapping them and will suffer no legal consequences, apart from a few months in jail. Changeling has been completely broken by the betrayal and sheds his Cheerful Child tendencies. The only consolation is Slade got nothing out of the contract apart from a bunch of teen heroes on his case, his wife and living son turned on him, and knowing a good amount of people want him dead. But...Slade in a Pet the Dog moment challenges Changeling to kill him unarmed, knowing that the Titan could have easily mauled him if he felt angry enough, and treats him to breakfast when Gar can't hurt a defenseless man. He also admits the Titans have every right to hate him, and at least for now isn't going to hurt them again, while advising Changeling he is a hero and to not forget that. And before the 2003 reboot, Slade stuck to that promise. | |

Good Smoking, Evil Smoking | |

Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: When the Titans are not watching her, or when she has dropped the masquerade, Terra is always smoking. Because she's evil. | |

Grief-Induced Split | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_e16cd2c8 | comment |
Grief-Induced Split: Slade's mercenary side job resulted in his son's kidnapping. Though he and Adeline save Joey's life, the boy is rendered mute when one of his captors slashes his throat. In her grief, Adeline shoots her husband's eye out, files for divorce, and takes the kids. | |

Super Supremacist | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_e2e55e86 | comment |
Super Supremacist: Part of the reason Terra hates the Titans (and resents her brother) so much is that they use their powers to help normal people instead of lording it over them. | |

The Mole | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_e70127 | comment |
Changeling will always believe that Terra was a mole or that she was being controlled by Slade, despite all the evidence to the contrary, including Terra's own explicit remarks. | |

Spotting the Thread | |
| The Judas Contract (Comic Book) / int_ec0ce986 | comment |
Spotting the Thread: When he meets Terra, Beast Boy questions how the royals of Markovia could be held hostage and no one would know about it, as she claims her reason for being blackmailed into terrorism. Terra dodges his questions by saying she was captured and drugged. Unfortunately, Beast Boy should have followed that line of thinking, especially when the Titans meet her brother. | |

Locked Out of the Loop: Deathstroke was unaware that his altered biology had given Joseph superpowers. As such, he doesn't realise the dangers of looking Jericho in the eye. | |
