Weaknesses[]
- Power instability: Terra initially lacked control of her newly increased abilities and strength, being unable to regulate how much earth she moved, and inadvertently triggering seismic tremors or even minor volcanoes. The more she used her powers over a period of time, the more she struggled to contain them.
- Apprentice suit: The special suit that Slade made for her connected directly to her nervous system, allowing Slade to truly control her and her increasingly powerful abilities via his computerized devices.
- Mental state: When she was mentally unstable, having had no allies for many years, she lost control.
- Gullibility: The fact that she was willing to do anything to better control her powers made her much too naïve and trusting, which may have been her biggest and most fatal flaw.
- Aftershocks: On the more self destructive side of things, Terra’s geomancy can be overtaxed with catastrophic results, as seen in Aftershock Pt. 2 when she sacrificed herself, resulting in her becoming a statue.
