* SecretIdentity: Exploited by Slade Wilson when he was taken to a CourtDrama. He openly admits that he ''was'' Deathstroke once, but that the Titans have always fight against a second and unrelated Deathstroke, who had taken up his name and costume. BlatantLies, but can the Titans prove otherwise? Can they prove that they had fought specifically Slade Wilson, and not some other man using the Deathstroke persona? No, they can't.

* NotSoDifferent: Gar and Slade had such a moment some time after this story. Gar defies 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.

If H.I.V.E. wants the Titans again, they will have to pay again. No refunds.

'''The Judas Contract''' is the most famous story arc of the Comicbook/TeenTitans, by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.
Once upon a time, Changeling met Terra, a teenager with a lovely face and the social skills of Wolverine. Of course, he immediately fell in love with her. She was a villain robbing banks, but Changeling was sure that he could redeem her. The Titans discovered that she was being forced to commit crimes by a terrorist group, which claimed that they had her parents hostage; her parents had actually died. Changeling noticed some lies that things that did not make sense, but she was accepted as a Titan anyway. She was wary to the Titans concealing their secret identities, but they eventually trusted her and told about them.
One week later, Deathstroke began to capture all the Titans, setting traps at their homes. Dick Grayson, who had resigned the Robin persona, was the last one, and managed to escape from him. He visited all the other's homes and the tower, and confirmed that he was the last one. He was then surprised by Adeline, the ex wife of Deathstroke, who told her about Terra's betrayal and other details about Slade's activities. Her son Jericho joined Dick Grayson, who has become Nightwing, and rescued the Titans at a foreign country where Deathstroke took them for the H.I.V.E. Jericho possessed the body of his father and attacked Terra with it, which made her believe that Deathstroke had turned against her. Mad at everyone, Terra broke all the hell loose, and killed herself with all the rocks raising around.

* HowWeGotHere: The first attack of Deathstroke seen was to Dick Grayson. He escaped from him, and discovered the fate of all the others while visiting the places where they were captured.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Finding out that Terra was TheMole was a big surprise in its day. Nowadays, after a pair of 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.
