First Name:Timothy (Tim)
Last Name:Drake
Alias or Nick-name:Robin/The Boy Wonder
Age:15
Height/Weight:5'6"/175
Eyes:Grey
Hair:Black
Persuasion: Good
Powers/Weapons:Drake's original costume was slightly different from that of Grayson and Todd as supplied by Batman to give him a measure of increased protection. He wears 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, better footwear than either of the previous Robins, an emergency "R" shuriken on his chest in addition to the traditional batarangs, a collapseable bo staff as primary weapon, and generally more strongly Robin-flavored equipment.
Following the Infinite Crisis' aftermath, Tim has updated his costume design. These updates include long sleeves, the elimination of the green from the suit and the addition of scallops to his gloves and cape, including a utility belt with pockets. The scallops on the cape give more of an illusion of feathers rather than bat-wings, as seen on the cape of the Dark Knight. Also the stylized "R" on Robin's chest has been replaced with a more traditional one that may vary from artist to artist. Robin still retains his 'R' shurikens, but they are now carried in his belt as opposed to his tunic. This new costume closely resembles the Robin suit worn by his cartoon counterpart/Tim Drake possesses the normal human strength of a teenager who regularly engages in intensive physical exercise. He was trained by the Batman in many combat/non-combat disciplines, like martial arts, criminology, acrobatics, stealth, disguise, escapology, etc.
Tim excels, however, as a skilled detective having with an above average intellect. This has been made most clear over the years by how he was able to discover the secret identities of Batman, Nightwing, Robin (Jason Todd), the Huntress, Captain Marvel and many others without outside help. Batman states in Robin #136 that Tim is smarter than himself and Alfred.
History: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 Drake 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 and again after Tim's father can no longer afford to send him to Brentwood, but they lose contact again after Tim attends a high school in Gotham. At Tim's new school, he becomes friends with Bernard, a hyperactive metrosexual.
Tim's closest friend is Conner Kent, followed closely by Cassandra Sandsmark and Bart Allen, 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 Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) with whom he becomes friends through Barbara Gordon.[1]
Tim's love interests tend toward the criminal; they include Ariana Dzerchenko, the daughter of a member of the Russian mob; gangleader Lynx; Darla Aquista, the daughter of a mafia boss; and fellow vigilante Spoiler (Stephanie Brown), the supervillain Cluemaster's daughter, with whom he has his longest relationship. Other characters are attracted to Tim, including Young Justice teammates Greta "Secret" Hayes and Cissie "Arrowette" King-Jones (who steals a kiss from Robin before quiting the team).
Comic book stories published between 2004 and 2005 establish that over a period of several months, Tim's love interest Darla Aquista is killed in a gang war, his ex-girlfriend Stephanie Brown is tortured and murdered, his father dies in a fight with Captain Boomerang, [2]his step-mother has a nervous breakdown and needs to be placed in a psychiatric ward, his favorite superhero and friend Ted Kord is murdered, and his best friend Superboy dies saving the world.In Identity Crisis, Tim, along with the rest of the superhero community are trying to keep all of their loved ones safe after some tragic attacks have come down upon the family members of the Justice League.
One night while Batman and Robin are investigating these crimes, they receive an incoming transmission from Oracle (a.k.a. Barbara Gordon) saying that Tim's father needs to speak to him immediately. It turns out that there is an intruder in the Drake home and a mysterious note with a gun is left for Jack suggesting that he protect himself. Jack tells Tim that he is proud of him and that he is not responsible if something bad happens. The intruder turns out to be the hired killer Captain Boomerang. Jack fires as Capt. Boomerang unleashes a razor boomerang and the two kill each other before Batman and Robin can make it back to the scene. Like Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, Tim Drake has now lost both of his parents due to the evils in the world.
After Identity Crisis, Bruce Wayne offered to adopt Tim, who was not fond of the idea. In order to avoid this, he falsifies records to create an uncle who would become his 'legal guardian'. He then moves in with his 'Uncle Eddie' in Blüdhaven (Nightwing's previous stomping grounds), whilst his step-mother receives treatment at a psychiatric hospital for the mental stress she is under due to the gruesome murder of her husband Jack. Although Tim covers his tracks well, Bruce is still able to figure out the truth. However, Tim was surprised that Batman was not angered by his actions, but instead very much impressed for demonstrating his abilities to create a situation that took some real detective work for him to figure out and even offered to teach Tim to completely cover his tracks. It would seem that all is well between Batman and Robin until the Veteran, a military super-hero legend (similar to Marvel Comics' Captain America), attempted to recruit Robin as a part of his unit. Tim, now concerned with his own mission rather than Batman's mission, took the Veteran's offer under consideration and on occasion went on a mission with his team to get a feel for what the job would be like. However following later events, Tim apparently has turned down the offer. After spending nearly a year away from home after the events of the Infinite Crisis, Tim was the first to return to Gotham following his trip with Batman and Nightwing, when he received a message from an unknown source telling him that if he did not return to the states, Batgirl (Cassandra Cain), would be killed. Returning back to Gotham City and donning a new costume, Tim moved into the Wayne Estate, but in the Carriage House which as been converted into a loft and Robin's new nest, as opposed to residing in the Manor.
Tim finds "Batgirl" dead. From Robin #148. Art by Karl Kerschl.Tim's return to Gotham City is marred by quick accusations of the murder of Batgirl. The body was, in fact, that of the villain Lynx in a Batgirl's costume. Her body was planted where Robin was being attacked by an unknown assailant.
Robin eluded the Gotham P.D. when they arrived on the scene. Refusing to sit out the investigation, he infiltrated the police station to look for evidence and stole the mask of the fake Batgirl costume. While running tests on the mask at Wayne Manor, Lady Shiva arrived and informed Tim of the death of Nyssa al Ghul, daughter of Ra's al Ghul and head of the League of Assassins, and her suspicions that someone outside the League was trying to usurp it. Robin returned to his investigation before finding a note in Batgirl's cowl, written in Navajo code, informing him that to save Cassandra, he had to give them her father, David Cain. Robin broke into Blackgate Prison to free and question Cain, assuming he was behind the kidnapping, only to learn that Cassandra herself had taken over the League.
Asking Robin to kill David and join her, Cassandra claims she's accepted her fate as a killer and is going to kill David's other daughters. Robin refuses, and Cassandra shoots her father. Beliving David to be dead, Robin tries to bring Cassandra in, and while he manages to hold his own against her and her League, an explosion forces them all to flee. When Tim then returns David's body, he finds Cassandra's league of assassins all dead with broken necks and Cain's body missing.
After returning to Gotham City, Tim finds that his mini-cam did survive the explosion and that it captured the entire battle, giving Tim a way to clear his name. As he laments the fact that the footage will brand Cassandra a murderer, Killa 'Nilla approaches Robin with a boomerang given to him by Owen Mercer and explains that the new Captain Boomerang is looking for him.
Another big change has taken place for Tim upon returning to Gotham. During a recent case in which Batman and Robin were forced to face off against a revived Two-Face, Bruce had begun thinking about Tim's place in the world following the deaths of both his parents and the events of the Crisis. Finally, Bruce re-approached Tim with the idea of adoption. Unlike the first attempt, Tim readily accepted this, even going so far as to embrace Bruce with tears in his eyes. Along with the adoption, Tim will also move into the Manor using the room once owned by Dick and Jason at different points.
[edit]
The "new" Teen Titans
Meanwhile, Robin has rejoined the Teen Titans. Tim quickly called together two new Titans, but Wonder Girl refused to return, feeling abandoned by Robin following the death of Superboy. Cyborg has recently returned to the team though it appears that Robin still is in command. There also appears to be some sexual tension between Tim and Rose Wilson, the Ravager and daughter of Deathstroke. She even propositioned him for sex late one night in his room. He was not amused and not only rejected her, but handcuffed her.
Tim has set up a secret facility beneath Titans Tower for the express purpose of recreating Superboy via replicating his DNA, though despite his efforts, all his attempts have so far failed. Unable to let his best friend go[1], Robin still keeps Conner's costume mounted in glass, grieving the death much like Batman grieved the death of Jason Todd. Following their completion of a battle against the Brotherhood of Evil with the Doom Patrol, Wonder Girl chose to return to the team full time, and went in search of Robin to inform him of her decision. However, she ended up discovering his secret lab in which Tim confessed how much he misses Conner. As the two grieved together, they ended up sharing a passionate, yet unexpected kiss, which appears to have shocked both of them
