2nd app. Nightwing (Dick Grayson), Death of TerraCanadian Price VariantThe Judas Contract, Book 4: FinaleHeld captive by the H.I.V.E. in an Enervator, which uses their own powers to hold them helpless, the Titans are shocked at the Terminator’s revelation that Terra is his partner. Meanwhile, Nightwing and Jericho attempt to breach the criminal organization’s headquarters, and Adeline Wilson keeps Wintergreen from aiding the Terminator. Wintergreen then reveals to her the origin of his relationship with Slade Wilson. He and the future Terminator had served together under a General Sampson, who ordered Wilson to lead what Wintergreen regarded as a suicide mission. Wilson survived the mission only because Wintergreen defied orders in order to save his life. When Wintergreen again found himself under Sampson’s command in Vietnam, the general deliberately assigned him to a similarly deadly mission, which resulted in his capture by the enemy. Slade Wilson returned the earlier favor by using his special powers and costumed identity to rescue his friend. Jericho’s powers of possession enable him and Nightwing to penetrate to the heart of the H.I.V.E. stronghold, but they are overpowered and captured when they unexpectedly encounter Terra. The acquisition of Nightwing, whom they recognize as the former Robin, completes the roster of the Titans and fulfills the Terminator’s contract, but when he realizes that his son will share the Titans’ fate, the Terminator bargains for Jericho’s release. Jericho abruptly regains consciousness and possesses his father, causing him to free the Titans from the Enervator. Believing that the Terminator has betrayed her, Terra attacks him. In the ensuing confusion, the Titans defeat the assembled H.I.V.E. agents, and Jericho releases the Terminator from his power to allow him to defend himself. A three-way conflict then erupts among the Titans, Terra, and the Terminator. Raven attempts to stop Terra with her mental powers, while Jericho breaks a standoff between the Terminator and the Titans, downing the villain. Then Terra breaks free of Raven’s influence, and her last semblance of sanity vanishes. In a mad rage, she uses her full power – demolishing the entire complex and bringing the wreckage down on herself. Digging frantically, the Changeling at last finds Terra’s lifeless body. The next day, a small funeral service is held, attended by the Titans, the Outsiders, Batman and Robin, Terry Long, and Dr. Jace.Release Date: 1984
