The rapey sladick vibes of the two part episode Apprentice from Season 1 of Teen Titans (2003) awoke something in me.
Some highlights:
"This isn't about them. It's about you. It's always been about you."
"I know it seems bad now but trust me. You'll learn to like it."
"You won't admit it, but at some level you enjoyed stealing for me. It was a thrill, wasn't it?"
Robin after Slade threatens his friends again: "Don't. I'll do whatever you say."
Slade: "Good boy. And, from now on, I'd like you to call me master."
"This is the price for your disobedience, Robin. Now do as I command"
Truly a wonderfully predatory Slade and his lil Renegade-I mean, "apprentice"~
