They need me. Gotham needs me. But can I take on the Magistrate without them?

— Tim Drake

Tim Drake is a teen vigilante, member of the Batman Family and one of the heroes fighting as Robin. After witnessing the fall of Batman, he's fighting against the Magistrate for the fate of Gotham City.

History

After Bruce Wayne was believed dead at the hands of the Magistrate, and the other Robins were out of the game, or even fighting for the enemy, Tim Drake felt that he stood alone against the forces of the Magistrate. After discovering the Magistrate was working on an experimental substance called Lazarus Resin that would make their synthetic soldiers invincible, Robin worked with Spoiler and a former We Are Robin member named Darcy to attack a convoy bringing it into the city. While fighting to reach the substance, however, Tim ended up fighting against one of the new, Resin-enhanced Cybers. The cyber broke Tim's neck, but Drake ended up in a bath of Lazarus Resin, which healed his wounds and powered him up.

The Resin was never meant for solely organic life, so despite it returning him to life and granting him incredible strength, it also meant Robin was overcome with shadow visions of loved ones and old enemies alike, taunting him, calling him weak, and driving him to become more aggressive. He pushed past them, and joined his allies in attempting to drown the Resin in Gotham Harbor. When they confronted by the leader of the operation, Peacekeeper-13, Robin became overwhelmed with rage, until Spoiler managed to calm him down long enough for the vigilante to defeat the Peacekeeper, and for Darcy to set the convoy to crash itself. In the chaos, however, Spoiler was captured and arrested on the last escape pod by Magistrate forces, forcing Robin to save Darcy with what he believed to be his final moments, and go down with the ship. But despite the team's belief that the river water would dissolve the Resin, the Resin in Tim's body continued to do his job, allowing him to haul himself out of the harbor.

Robin would go on to continue to work with the Resistance, using his newfound strength and immortality to his advantage. He helped break Spoiler out of jail, fend off the chaos brought on by the Warmonger, and later joined the rest of his family in confronting Nightwing over his addiction to Brane.

Years later, Robin would be listed as a potential candidate to join the Justice League.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Lazarus-Enhanced Physiology: After his exposure to the Magistrate's experimental Lazarus Resin, Robin became physically stronger and gained the ability to resurrect himself from death, although this came at the expense of his mind--at least initially.
  • Resurrection: The primary function of the Resin was to allow the Magistrate's synthetic soldiers to perform "organic rejuvenation", or, more simply, resurrection. Robin used this at least twice, once when he was first exposed to the substance quickly after his murder by a Magistrate cyber, and then again when he crashed into Gotham Harbor inside a Magistrate airship.
  • Superhuman Strength: While the exact limits of his strength are unknown, Robin was able to brawl with several heavily-protected Magistrate agents at once soon after his transformation, and his peers have remarked that he is much stronger than he looks.

Abilities

• Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced)
• Stick Fighting
