Terra (Justice League/Teen Titans)

"'My name's Tara Markov. But you can call me Terra.'"Terra (Tara Markov) is a DC Comic Superheroine and a major protagonist in the alternate plot of Teen Titans Season 2.

Early Life
Tara was once a child girl in Markovia who used to wander around her home's gardens and was at the moment unaware of her superpowers. One day, she was playing with a fox her mother adopted until she witnessed Wonder Woman battling the alien queen Maxima. Just after the Amazon Princess defeated the villainess, Tara watched as Maxima attempted to stab Diana in her back with a hidden dagger. But before Maxima could do it, Tara surprising made the first use of her powers by forging nuerous stone pillars which badly injured Maxima. Right after the alien queen was removed from Earth, Tara tried to run away to avoid punishment untl she was spotted by Wonder Woman. Seeing kindness in Tara's heart, Diana lovingly sympathized with her and the two formed a Mother-and-Daughter like friendship. Before Diana left, Tara gave Diana a small locket with a picture of herself so that Diana would never forget about her. Diana vowed that she never would and they shared a small but loving farewell embrace. Since then, Tara started dreamming of becoming a heroine like Wonder Woman is.

Years passed, but Tara had not forgotten about her childhood heroine and continued pursuing her dream to become a heroine. One day, however, her home was attacked by theforces of Vandal Savage and, with the Justice League unable to help her brother Brion (who had becomme the superhero Geo-Force) stop the invasion because Lex Luthor had framed them for crimes they did not commit, she was attacked and stripped of some of her memories by Ravager, who has sent by her father Slade to capture her and make her a living weapon. Tara, with some but little control of her powers, had managed to barely escape. She had lost some of her memories of her life, although some started referencing her as "Terra", but vowed to return until she was ready to make things right.

Meeting the Titans
Sometime later, Terra begun travelling around the world trying to keep her powers under control and also working to find answers about her past. One day, she was being chashed by a giant scorpion monster in a canyon near Jump City until she barely defeated the creature by crushing it with a stone she threw in it, which was part of a trap she was leading it to. Her actions where being observed by the Titans (as well as Slade, who claimed to have seen her first). The Titans eventually decided to let her spend a night in their tower and also recruit her to the team. However, after a high conflict between the Titans and their villainous nemesis Slade, who claimed to know how to help her with her out-of-control powers, she decided to leave to avoid more danger.

Regaining her Lost Memories
Shortly after leaving Jump City, Terra ended up confronted by Slade once again. But before the villain could get any close to her, he was repelled by a bussiness suited man who revealed to have the answers for Terra's problems. The man ended up revealing himself to be Superman, who had worked his way to overcome guilt over his failure to stop Vandal Savage's invasion in Markovia, which was caused by Lex Luthor's framing of the Justice League. Just then, Superman took Terra to his headquarters the Fortress of Solitude and gave her a small star which contained Terra's memories, explaining that it is the loss of her memories which caused her to lose control of her powers. The star merged with her mind and heart and completely restored her memories of her identity and past life. She had also discovered that she could also control Electricity, Metal and Ice. Later on, she reunited with her mother Amelia and her brother Brion (although she also mourned the loss of her father Viktor). Before Superman left, Tara shared with him a piece of her family's power, giving him the ability to control Crystal at will. Superman also vowed to train her to help her become that heroine she dreamt to be.

Sometime later, after teaching her how to master some of her powers, Superman secretly took her to the Justice League's headquarters in the Watchtower for a genuine tour before taking her to the Laboratory, where she was allowed to use the Costumizer to craft for herself her own Superhero Costume and the VR Computers to make herself ready to battle the threats the Justice League and the Titans fought against. After Superman left to answer the Justice League's call for help, Tara used the Costumizer to craft for herself a half-piece half top red and white leotard with large blue boots, golden belt, bracelets, necklace and leg rings and a red mask and used the VR Computer to practice her abilities by battling and defeating virtual images of the Leaguers' primary villains (Lex Luthor, the Joker, the Cheetah, Sinestro, Professor Zoom and Black Manta) one by one. Just then, she was allowed to roam free as long as she stays out of trouble and out of the villains' sight. Tara agreed to do so as she also vowed to humiliate every tyrant in the world, letting Superman agree with the truth she knows: that too much tyranny is the real threat affecting Earth.

A New Team
During her quest to expose criminals on the world, Terra also started to form a new team of young heroes who are also determined tobe like the Justice League and the Titans. She started by recruiting Hiro Okamura, a young but highly intelligent boy from Japan with an I.Q. of 210 also known as the Toymaster, after saving him from a group of C.A.D.M.U.S. mercenaries who were sent by Amanda Waller to capture him and recruit him to the Task Force X program. Later on, the two exacted to search for three young boys who secretly had superpowers of their own:

* Collin Hill, an 9 year old orphaned boy who felt disowned by his older and uncaring brother and had an toy owl named Briony as his only companion. Collin also had a Blue Lantern Ring and Power Battery which a mysterious young woman gave him as a birthday gift in secret for him. Terra eventually convinced Collin to use the Ring to help people like Green Lantern does and assured him she would teach him and take care of him. Filled with hope, Collin, with the Ring in his hands, charged the Ring and joined Terra's team.

* Milo Chaves, an unhappy teenager from Mexico who used to work as a talented but spoiled theater actor who was bullied by the main actors and also greatly despised by the public. One day, he ended up locked by the bullies inside a cave where he ended up finding a mysterious wolf-headed amulet which permanently bonded him with a curse: he now had the appearance and the abilities of a Werewolf. After escaping the cave, he figured out that his new look made the public unable to recognize him, but see him differently (seeing him as a beloved celebrity and not as a hated freak as they used to treat him in the theater), to his delight. The spirit of his curse continued persuading him to take the Amulet to the Moon Temple in exchange of freeing him from his curse. But reminded that he was hated before and now beloved for his new look, Milo refused and threw the Amulet away. He was then found by Terra, who wanted him to join her team to become not just an attraction, but also a hero. Milo accepted and adopted the alter-ego of Alpha Wolf.

* Jason Burke, the son of Alicia Burke (a successful and popular athlete in Olympic Games) and Alexander (a former Spartan soldier who wa executed by his brothers for betraying their lord Ares by stealing an ancient Olympian Artifact created by Hephestus for the Wargod himself) and a teenager who delevoped amazing abilities from the Artifact his father stole. The artifact gave the Strength of Hercules, the Speed of Hermes, the Wings of Icarus and the powers of the main Gods of Olympus (the Light of Zeus, which enabled him to cast Lightning Bolts, the Arsenal of Poseidon, which allowed him to craft Water-based constructs based on weapons, and the Spawns of Hades, which enabled him to create Fire-based constructs based on Animals). He was found by Terra battling alone against a pack of Minotaurs sent by Ares to get the Artifact back and recruited him in her team, on which he adopted the alter-ego of Omega Knight.

Terra also recruited Lana Lang's daughter Amber, who had become a member of the Indigo Tribe for her strong sense of compassion, and John Stewart's daughter Dionne, who had become a Green Lantern like her father.
