The Judas Contract by Marv Wolfman & George Pérez

Who is the secret traitor? The former boy wonder, the wonder girl, the alien princess, the cyborg, the shape-shifter, the spooky witch, the speedster, or the geokinetic who frequently brags about being evil and betraying the team?

I remember reading this as it came out. It was a real surprise that the teenage girl hero was a raving sociopath villain, because back then, comics Just Didn't Do That.

OTOH, Marv Wolfman is the guy who wrote most of "Tomb of Dracula", and made Dracula the evil, vindictive, abusive bastard he actually was in Stoker's book. (The "Dracula Daily" annual event has opened a lot of readers' eyes to just how romanticized Dracula has gotten in adaptations).

Also, not that the graphic novel can do much with it, the New Teen Titans _had_ an obvious could be/turn evil member: Raven. But she was misdirection.

IIRC, wasn't it not so much misdirection as "Let's actually do something about the impending corruption of our teammate" (which incidentally isn't her fault)? Granted it's been decades.

I also remember in the scene where their looking at pictures of Raven, the latest ones made her look like she was in her 30s.
