Summary

Three years into the legendary 1980s run of The New Teen Titans, creators Marv Wolfman and George Perez brought forth upon the DC Universe a story arc that forever altered the unwritten rules and expectations governing superhero team storytelling. That arc was 'The Judas Contract,' and in this episode of CGS we take stock of the multitude of major milestones it contained for DC's second-generation super-team: Dick Grayson's maturation from Robin to Nightwing, the introduction of Jericho, the secret origin of Deathstroke the Terminator, and the perfidy of the insidious ingenue called Terra, whose betrayal of the Titans left them (and all of superhero fandom) not knowing whom to trust!
