Biography:
After moving from Gotham City, Robin began working alone in Jump
City. This didn't last long, however, when he met up with three
other teenagers and a Tamaranian named Starfire. With the help of
Raven, Cyborg and Beast Boy, Robin was able to save Starfire from
her predicament and made a friend along the way. The group of five
heroes later formed the Teen Titans with Robin as the leader.
Robin relies on nothing more than his wit and
fearless nature to hold the team together. Once the partner of the
legendary vigilante Batman, Robin's leadership abilities, analytical
skills, and raw courage are of invaluable aid to the team and the cause
that they uphold. Along with his unbridled speed and agility, Robin also
has a utility belt at his disposal which houses a variety of projectiles
with a vast array of different effects, a retractable bo-staff and a
cape made of high-density polymerized titanium that is ten times as
strong as steel. From razor-sharp Bird-a-rangs and freeze-disks to
complex circuitry capable of hacking the most intricate of portable
computer systems, Robin almost always has the perfect tools for many
different situations. His high level of preparedness for any battle
combined with his unparalleled daring make him a fearless opponent ready
for almost any situation.
Robin also brings his expertise to the Teen Titans as a group. His years
of hardened experience and mental training allow him to effectively
coordinate battles and provide the Titans with invaluable leadership
skills. While he spends much of his time putting himself through
rigorous training exercises, he is never too busy to chill out and have
some fun with his fellow teammates. Robin realizes that effective
leadership requires both respect and friendship, and he's always willing
to help out the Titans with their problems or to just hang out. While he
enjoys a close relationship with most of the Titans, he spends a great
deal of his time with Starfire in particular to help her get accustomed
to life on Earth.
While a dedicated and capable leader, Robin's got his fair share of
issues, too. When crud goes down, Robin sometimes loses control of
himself in his obsessive fervor to "catch the bad guy". This trait was
expressed multiple times in Robin's attempts to catch the manipulative
Slade: In one instance, Robin doubled as a criminal "Red X" for the
express purpose of tricking Slade into forging a partnership with him.
In another, Robin's fervor to leave his friends behind and catch Slade
led him to be captured by Slade for the purpose of turning Robin into
his apprentice.
Throughout everything that he's been through, his friends (particularly
Starfire) have always been with him. Even though Robin has proved
himself multiple times to have the skills to defeat the rest of the
superpowered Titans, he still considers his buddies to be his most
valuable asset. With the help of his friends, Robin seems to have gotten
a handle on this particular issue.
