Teen Titans #73

Remember this post?

Well, it's more of the same in #73.

Okay, Deathstroke made Rose become the Ravager by manipulating her (as seen here). What's the point of having him also drug her against her will? It's just a pointless retcon.

	I feel bad for her. Why does he want to inject her? Is it like..."Superhero Steroids" or something? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm pretty sure he was always drugging her so this isn't a retcon. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	For a while there, way back in the annuals of time, Slade had no idea he had a daughter, who grew into adolescence without ever meeting, or even knowing of, her father. Or maybe the poster is just referring to Deathstroke's continued retconning from a morally complex Mercenary with a convoluted sense of ethics and honor to maniacal card-carrying villain.

	Ok, let me define 'always.' He drugged her ever since he got a hold of her after arranging the hit by his brother on her current foster family. I'm well aware of the past where he didn't know about her, or the time when he kept her away to keep her safe. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	He didn't drug her against her will like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'll agree about the 'against her will' part. I just assumed the drugs kept her psychotic and he never really had to worry about her refusing them. It wasn't until Nightwing convinced her about the Kryptonite poisoning that she broke away. She didn't really seem to have a problem with anything Slade was doing until then. I had assumed that after that she went through detox and came back to her senses.

	He injected her with the serum that gave him his powers. The psychosis was a a side-effect. And I think he only had to inject her once; it's not like he constantly has to inject himself with the serum to keep his powers. (Reply to this) (Parent)

..So she joined him willingly...after he arranged the murder of her family...then drugged her (good drugs? bad drugs? both, so her born super got better plus yummy love-your-daddy mind control drug?)..under the influence of which she gouged her own eye out...then forgets she did it...then blames him for pushing her into it (which, he kinda has manipulated her toward) and quits him so she can fight him.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a screwed up background. Bonus for Xanatos Gambit if its revealed later that he and she deliberately screwed with her mind to make her a Titan.

	I remember the catch with the Terror Titans was that Slade was behind the whole thing with the end result of... making Jericho and Rose want to hate him so much so they'd join the Titans and "get the loving family they deserve". And then he goes out and finds another kid to play heir with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was Titans East, not Terror Titans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's it, DC isn't allowed to touch the Wilson family until they remember how they act like. Hint: it's not Slade being a Complete Monster and Rose being a Victim. (Reply to this)
