Terra Vs. Sandman

 

This is a confrontation that I am surprised I never thought of before and that I do not remember ever having been suggested.  Between the their power sets and the similarity in their surnames, it seems like a natural though!

Terra Joins The Thunderbolts

 

Terra's arc in New Teen Titans was one of the best in comics, and her turn was as much of a surprise as it was when The Thunderbolts revealed themselves to be The Masters of Evil in disguise at the end of their first issue. Sadly, Terra's fate was sealed - maybe she would have had a more successful redemption story if she had joined the T-Bolts instead?

The Thing and Terra

The whole Judas Contract Saga from New Teen Titans was one of the great comic book reading experiences of my youth. The rise and fall of Terra made for some excellent cliffhangers and dramatic moments. Marv Wolfman and George Perez were truly at the top of their form - and that's saying something! I can only imagine how the twists and turns in that storyline would be spoiled in todays day of internet coverage. I know the animated Teen Titans featured a version of this storyline during one of their seasons, but that was changed quite a bit from the comics. I'd like to see DC devote one of its direct to video animated films to the saga, with a much more faithful adaptation. I'm betting that DC doesn't want to create market confusion with its currently running Young Justice series, so it will probably be a while before we see any DTVs starring the 80's Teen Titans.
