Another Teen Wonder

---

The son of circus acrobats, much like Dick Grayson, Jason Todd's life was changed when Killer Croc killed his parents. Stealing a costume and sneaking along with Batman to confront Croc, Jason earned his place in the bat-family and was later adopted by Bruce. Now as the second Robin, Jay serves as part of the bat-family. A bit more impetuous than Dick, he still does his best to honor the mantle and earn his place on the team.

Personality

Jason is that certain combination of traits that makes for a reasonably well-balanced hero. He's a bit rebellious and impetuous, but he's also good-hearted and loyal, which means that while he's willing to challenge assumptions and authority, he's also willing to cooperate and do his part for the team. Tragedy has made him fun-loving and eager to enjoy life, and he loves crime-fighting and being one of Batman's sidekicks. Sometimes mischievous, always ready to fight the good fight, Jay may be one of Gotham's more surprisingly well-balanced protectors.

Background

Jason Peter Todd was born the son of circus acrobats Joe and Trina Todd. When his parents attempted to assist Batman with a case, they were targeted and murdered by the criminal known as Killer Croc, and this led to Bruce Wayne adopting the boy. Jason would steal a Robin costume and sneak out to help Batman on a difficult case, earning him the support of Dick Grayson, who helped convince the Caped Crusader to take on a second Robin. This helps ensure that, no matter what happens, Batman always has at least one Robin he can count on, and the famous "Dynamic Duo" actually has more backup than most criminals would ever expect.

ADVANTAGES

Allies and Contacts

Robin (or Jason, in some cases) has a number of useful associates, contacts, and allies upon whom he can rely. These include various police contacts, Internet resources, and others. Most notably, this includes Batman and his allies, such as Alfred Pennyworth and Dick Grayson.

Vehicles

Robin has potential access to any of Batman's vehicles, but these were designed specifically for his own use. Like Batman's vehicles, these have state-of-the-art combat systems with a full range of sensory capabilities, comlinks to the Batcave mainframe, stealth mode to allow them to move in effective silence, and heavy armor with virtually no loss in maneuverability. Each carries an arsenal of weapons, generally equipped with more creative, less deadly gadgets like oil slicks and smoke screens.

Wealth

Jason has access to a managed trust fund set up from his parents' assets. When he is of legal age, Jason will inherit enough money to live comfortably while supporting himself.

WEAKNESSES

Enemies

Targeted by dangerous criminals. Robin has enemies, both Batman's and his own. Many very dangerous people would love to get their hands on the so-called "Boy Wonder" and kill him, use him as a hostage, or plan some other rather unpleasant fate for him.

Secret Identity

Robin keeps his civilian ID of Jason Todd a secret, not only as per Batman's rules but because he realizes that the knowledge of who he really is could lead to someone potentially unraveling the web of secrets that protect the identities of Batman and his associates.

The Mission

Apart from fighting crime, a mission to which Jason is very dedicated, part of Robin's "job" is providing a balance to Batman's darkness. Jason's also got to balance it out with keeping up his public identity, Batman's strict training regimen, and keeping top grades in school.
