Young El was a gangbanger and student in Tim Drake's school.
History
He and Karl Ranck were in a gunfight in the school lobby which left Karl dead.[1] Robin and Spoiler tracked him down and made him turn himself in.[2] He was targeted by Lock-Up but escaped when Robin intervened.[3] Robin ran into him again when police broke up a gun deal between Young El and the Falsefacers. Robin chased El into a dilapidated building where El began shooting at the hero. His shots, combined with the torrential rainstorm outside, weakened the floor boards and he and Robin both fell into the basement. Young El was trapped under a beam as runoff rainwater from the storm flooded the basement; his bravado quickly wore off and he begged Robin to save him. Robin tried but was unable to move the beam and Young El drowned in the rising waters.[4]
