_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - After deducing Batman’s identity with his natural detective skills, Tim Drake proves himself an invaluable asset to the Dark Knight, and eventually becomes the third Robin. He also finds himself to be a natural leader, and along with his friends Superboy and Impulse, founded Young Justice. Tim unofficially leads the team through many adventures. The Bat-family’s secrets eventually take a toll on the team, and they start to mistrust Tim after finding out about Batman’s secret files on the Justice League. While Tim eventually falls back into their good graces, Secret never fully recovers and harbors a resentment towards him. In the interest of fairness in light of the trust issues, Young Justice holds a formal election, with Wonder Girl winning and becoming the new leader. Tim wholeheartedly backs her, and she relies on his wisdom and friendship to lead the team successfully.

TEEN LEADER
After rolling for initiative, you may reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card. After revealing an Order Marker on any other Titan or Sidekick you control in clear sight of Robin, before taking a turn with that figure, if there is a revealed "X" Order Marker on this card, you may take a turn with Robin. You may not take any additional turns with other figures you control.

TACTICAL DEDUCTION
Once per round, after an enemy figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Robin rolls attack dice, you may subtract one skull from whatever is rolled.

BAT-GRAPPLE 3
Instead of his normal move, Robin may move up to 3 spaces with Bat-Grapple. When moving with Bat-Grapple, Robin has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 30 levels in a single grapple, and will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Alrighty, the start of the Young Justice Leaders! Wonder Girl will be next and the two of them together should hopefully be a new core of a Titans team.

Robin here acts similar to his vigilante sidekick counter part with the bonding. We also represent his detective skills and leadership in battle.

Art wise, we obviously can use Young Justice art, but I'm sure his solo series has lots of good stuff too. The main this is I want his green costume.

[Arch-vile]

I'm excited for this one!

Wait I thought when you said Robin that it was the Venom bird... talk about a disappointment

He'll be after Arrowette wraps, don't worry.

[IAmBatman]

Not sure I agree with Titan or Medium. Otherwise, leftbox is clearly spot on.

Dig the power set and always happy for more Tim Drake! Should the second power specify that it's for your numbered Order Markers? Could have some interesting interactions with powers that let you reveal enemy Order Markers otherwise (would have to research what those are).

[Lord Pyre]

It does specify Numbered markers. I think YOU suggested that, because of weird interaction with Elongated Man or something like that. I feel like it's just cleaner on numbered, since he's meant to just support your team with it.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, the interaction with Elongated Man is blocked by numbered. Also blocks an interaction with Tim's own "X" here, which I thought was intentional?

I THINK that current powers only let you "view" Order Markers on enemy cards, not "reveal" them as "revealing" them would remove them. I searched the index for "reveal and remove" and there were only things that affected your own Order Markers or that compelled/allowed your opponent to do it to their own Order Markers, so we're probably good here.

[Lord Pyre]

Yeah it's fine on Tim's X, since that's before the round anyway. Just put #1 on Robin if you want him to get the boost. Otherwise if #1 is on Starfire, then both Robin AND Starfire get it. I'm good with it!

[johnny139]

We definitely figured out the whole view/look at/reveal/remove distinction with OMs in Detective Chimp's thread but I'll be damned if I remember what's what. A quick check says it should be "you may view any Order Markers on that figure's card" I think.

Tim Drake getting a second leadership figure is interesting, but I suppose warranted if he's lead multiple teams in the past. This one being a Sidekick and the other a Titan and in general having completely different powersets helps I guess. I'd say that he should maybe have Utility Belt over Bat-Grapple since he's iconically a gadget-y type? But maybe that would make them a little more redundant.

All told, he's fine.
