Bio: The last Robin to fly alongside Batman, Tim Drake was
captured and tortured by Joker and Harley, essentially turning him into
a miniature form of Joker. Physically and mentally scarred, Tim Drake
led many tough years after that trying to regain his sanity with the
help of Dr. Leslie Thompkins. Bruce forbade Tim to be Robin again and
the two drifted apart, not seeing each other till over three decades
later.
During the time he spent under The Joker’s torture, Tim was a part of
The Joker’s “greatest experiment.” Using cutting edge technology, The
Joker implanted his DNA on a microchip which he stuck to the side of
Tim’s neck. When the time came for him to return, The Joker began to
overtake Tim’s body at will; though he had grown old, Tim was still in
good condition from his days as Robin. This gave Joker an advantage he
previously never had: strength.
Tim Drake was freed from The Joker’s grasp for a second time with the
aid of both Bruce and Terry. Terry fried the microchip on Tim Drake’s
neck with a dropped joy buzzer, removing Joker’s DNA and the chip.
Tim, Barbara and Bruce all met together after the fiasco; though many
bitter years lay between them, they sat down and worked it all out and
are now friends once again.
Tim Drake currently resides in Gotham with his wife. |
