Terra

The Sweet Sadistic Spy…

Tara Markov is the half-sister of the Crown Prince of Markovia also known as Geo-Force.  Tara, being the illegitimate child of the King is not in line for the throne so she decided to subject herself to tests from Markovia’s lead scientist, Dr. Helga Jace.  These scientific procedures gave Terra the ability to move earth and shape it to her will.

Terra first encounters Changeling of the New Teen Titans while attempting a get away.  It was clear to Changeling that Terra needed help and he rallied the Titans to free her of the group of terrorists that held sway over her.

Free now to make her own decisions, Terra decides to stay on with the Titans for the time being.

Until her real motivation for joining the Titans became clear, working with Deathstroke the Terminator, Terra had infiltrated the Titans in order to get to know their secrets.  This knowledge enabled both of them to capture the Titans and turn them over to H.I.V.E. to fulfill the contract Deathstroke’s son took on shortly after the Titans formed.

Terra however was imbalanced and had a psychopathic break and instead of killing the Titans in a rage she killer herself by crashing boulders on top of her.

Changeling had grown very close to her and her death had a profound effect on him.
