Basic Info| Name: | Timothy "Tim" Drake |
|---|
BioHistory: Tim Drake, who was to become the new Robin, first appeared in comics as a 13-year-old boy who has followed the adventures of Batman and Robin ever since witnessing the murder of the Flying Graysons when he was younger. At the age of nine, Drake surmises their secret identities with his instinctive detective skills, after watching Batman and Robin battle against the Penguin on a security tape shown on TV. While the Penguin was attempting to catch Batman unaware, Robin pounced on the Penguin after executing a quadruple somersault, which Tim had witnessed Dick execute during the final performance of the Flying Graysons. Knowing that only Dick Grayson could execute such a feat, Tim makes the connection and follows Batman and Robin's careers closely.
Years later, after Batman grows progressively more violent and reckless following the death of Jason Todd, Tim seeks out Dick Grayson to try to convince him to reprise his role as Robin. Reluctant to take a step back, Dick agrees to assist Batman again, but only as Nightwing. Tim, who is unsatisfied with Dick's decision, continues to argue that Batman needs a Robin. Finally, he coaxes Alfred to help him, and taking the Robin costume from the Batcave pursues the original Dynamic Duo where he proves to be an invaluable asset in the capture of Two-Face.
Both Dick and Alfred can see that Tim is well suited not only as Robin but also as a force to keep Batman grounded emotionally. Although Batman is very reluctant to have another partner, he grudgingly agrees that the boy has potential and then begins an extended training period in which Tim endures months of physical, mental and psychological tests.
Before Tim can take on the role of Robin, a villain calling himself the Obeah Man captures his parents Jack and Janet Drake. While waiting for news of their rescue, he takes his mind off his worries by focusing on tracking down the hacker thief, Moneyspider, who he reveals is Anarky, thus solving his first solo case. Meanwhile, Batman rushes to rescue Tim's parents, but fails to save them before the Obeah Man poisons both Jack and Janet. Janet dies, and Jack is left in a coma for several months. Batman becomes even more reluctant to entrust Tim with the Robin mantle following this loss because afraid that the boy is too blinded by rage and a desire for vengeance. Tim proves himself when the Scarecrow kidnaps Batman and Vicki Vale. After that, Batman finally allows Tim Drake to become the newest Boy Wonder, wearing a more practical uniform, including long pants and no 'pixie' boots.
Skills, Abilities, Equipment: Tim Drake possesses the normal human strength of a teenager who regularly engages in intensive physical exercise. The Batman has trained him in many disciplines, such as martial arts, criminology, acrobatics, stealth, disguise, escapology, and so on.
His naturally high intellect has allowed him to excel as a skilled detective. His ability to deduce the secret identities of superheroes on his own has been used to underscore his skill. Among the identities used in this way are the Batman, both of his predecessors as Robin, the Huntress, and Captain Marvel. Batman once even stated that Tim was smarter than either himself or Alfred.
Drake's costume is slightly different from that of his predecessors as supplied by Batman to give him a measure of increased protection. It includes an armored tunic, a cape that is black on the outside though still yellow on the inside, and green leggings. Other details include an armored gorget, jika-tabi style boots, an emergency "R" shuriken on his chest in addition to the traditional batarangs, and a collapsible bo staff as primary weapon. There is also a general change of the theme of the equipment from "Bat" to "Robin".
Personal Life: During his early career, Drake is different from the previous Robins in that his father is alive and does not know of Tim's life as Robin. His mother, however, is murdered before he officially becomes Robin, and his father is put into a coma. Initially, Tim's best friend at Gotham Heights is a nerd named Ives. They remain friends until Tim's father sends him to the Brentwood Academy for Boys. They renew the friendship after Tim's father can no longer afford to send him to Brentwood, but they lose contact when Tim begins to attend a high school in Gotham.
Tim's closest friend is Conner Kent, followed closely by Bart Allen and Cassandra Sandsmark, Robin's Young Justice and Teen Titans teammates Superboy, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash. Tim is also particularly close with Dick Grayson, with whom he shares a brotherly relationship. Tim's favorite superhero is the Blue Beetle with whom he becomes friends through Barbara Gordon.
Tim's love interests tend toward the dangerous. They include Ariana Dzerchenko, daughter of a deli owner targeted and murdered by the Russian mob; gang leader Lynx; Darla Aquista, daughter of a mafia boss; fellow vigilante Spoiler, daughter of the Cluemaster, with whom he has his longest relationship; and even Marvel Universe's Jubilee. Other characters are attracted to Tim, including Young Justice teammates Secret and Arrowette, who steals a kiss from Robin before quitting the team. In an issue of Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E., Tim expresses an interest in Courtney Whitmore, although this has not been picked up on recently.
Physical Description: Tim is rather on the short side of the spectrum when it comes to male superheroes and has a slender form made from lean muscle. His hair is black and cropped short, and his eyes are blue but are often invisible due to his Robin mask and its lenses. As Robin, he bears the traditional colors of a Robin outfit -- green, red, and yellow. His eyemask that covers the top portion of his face is green, as well as his tights, undershirt, and long gloves. His form-fitting outer tunic is red with the Robin insignia on the left chest. The insignia is yellow, as well as the inside of his black cape and his belt.
