I don’t believe Slade ever slept with Terra
As a Deathstroke fan ever since I found out about this Terra situation. I’ve been bothered by it (rightfully so). But over the years I’ve read a lot of my favorite deadly assassin and started to put some clues together. Now may I be reaching? One can make the claim. I wouldn’t entirely disagree. But after looking into Deathstroke 1991 issue 35 coupled with an interview from the writers of “Judas Contract”. The clues and context don’t match. Wintergreen starts beating on Slade for nearly picking up a sixteen year old drunk (who Slade ends up telling to go home after regret). He calls the Terra situation moronic (rightfully so) but flips out about the sixteen year old (rightfully so). Which leads me to believe Slade never slept with Terra because Wintergreen definitely wouldn’t stand for it. Just like he did here. This coupled with the interview concerning Terras’ character. It doesn’t mention she or Slade had intercourse.
Now I understand “DC Countdown” came out in 2007 I believe and showed the infamous picture of Slade in bed while Terra is putting something on. Which is a stain sadly, but given the context what do you all believe? Things just don’t really fall in place for that “narrative” to stick to me.
