History
Notes
- Jack Drake was created by Marv Wolfman and Pat Broderick, first appearing in Batman #436. However, in the Prime Earth continuity, Jack Drake first appeared as part of the New 52 DC Universe in Teen Titans (Volume 4) #0 by Scott Lobdell and Tyler Kirkham.
- In early New 52 issues, such as Teen Titans (Volume 4) #0, Jack and Janet are portrayed as alive and in witness protection while Tim is placed in Bruce Wayne's care. However, as part of the DC Rebirth storyline, Tim Drake's history has been revised to resemble his New Earth counterpart. As a result, Jack's murder by Captain Boomerang, which originated in the New Earth continuity, has been reinstated as of Dark Crisis: Young Justice (Volume 1) #3.
