Nightwing

Spoiler: More Images

Real Name: Richard “Dick” Grayson
Age: 17
Birthday: March 21st
Birthplace: Gotham City, New Jersey

Skills

Dick possesses the peak athletic strength and endurance of a man who regularly engages in extensive physical exercise. His martial arts skills rival those of Batman, and he was rigorously trained by his mentor in everything from escapology to criminology, fencing, stealth, disguise, and numerous other combat/non-combat disciplines. He is fluent in a number of languages and had the finest education as Bruce Wayne's ward.

Gear/Equipment

Dick has a number of gadgets in his utility belt, including several dozen modified batarangs (called wingblades), sticky bombs, tracers, and pressurized grappling guns that fire durable-yet-thin ropes with adhesive properties on the end. The rope is lined with nano-circuitry and a button on the grappling gun hilt sends a signal to release the surface the end is clinging to. He also uses small wrist-mounted devices that project a holographic interface-based microcomputer.

He has a state-of-the-art motorcycle complete with an onboard computer and built in WiFi, as well as a helmet that connects wirelessly to the computer with audio and video feedback and communications capabilities. The helmet also has nightvision and a heads-up display on the inside of the visor.

Dick's costume is made of a version of the Nomex fire-resistant, triple-weave Kevlar-lined material. It is an excellent protection against damage, and also insulated against electricity. The suit he wears is also fireproof, and his mask is held in place with spirit gum.

Powers/Abilities

Dick has no superhuman powers, and relies solely on technology and his own wits.

Background

When Dick was nine, his parents were killed by Tony Zucco, a gangster who demanded protection money from Haly's Circus, where the Graysons performed. When Mr. Haly refused, Zucco murdered his star performers.

Bruce Wayne had been good friends with John and Mary Grayson and had been named as Dick's godfather, so the boy came live at Wayne Manor. It was only a matter of time before the boy discovered Wayne was Batman, and soon he too was learning to fight crime and took on the alias of Robin.

In his civilian life, Dick enrolled at Gotham Academy, one of the most prestigious private schools in the country. He scored consistently high on all his examinations, though as he got older he began to long for a normal youth, switching to public school Horace T. Gotham High when he was fourteen, named after the city's founder, American Revolution General Horace T. Gotham.

When Dick was sixteen, Conner Kent came to live at Wayne Manor, and joined Batman and Robin as Superboy, Over the following year, the two teens forged a brotherly bond, eventually joining other young heroes to form the Titans, under the watchful eyes of Batman.


Superboy

Spoiler: More Images

Real Name: Conner Kent (formerly Calhoun)
Age: 16
Birthday: August 1st
Birthplace: Honolulu, Hawaii

Gear/Equipment/Abilities

Conner is a natural born hybrid posessing both Kryptonian and Human DNA, and as such, his powers are significantly weaker than those of Superman. Just like Kal-El, Conner benefits from the ability to photosynthesize, the result of generations of genetic engineering back on Krypton. The amount of solar energy he can absorb naturally is rather small, but his cells are designed to rapidly multiply the stored power and greatly amplify his internal bioelectric pathways. Enhanced strength, speed, durability, healing, and physical senses are all results of this genetic process, as well as limited heat vision and energy-based flight.

Conner can reach full power faster by using a Sun Chamber, such as the one at Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Though even at this level, his energy drains rather fast compared to his father, though is still very formidable.

Background

Conner was conceived during a fling when a young Clark Kent became smitten with Lex Luthor's younger sister, Lena. Lena learned his secret and she vowed to keep it from her brother, but when she discovered she was pregnant, she feared the child would be molded by either Clark or Lex. She decided to move to Hawaii and keep the baby a secret from them both until she could pass him off as being the son of a local man, Tommy Calhoun.

Years later, the boy -- at the time named Conner Calhoun after his fake father -- began to exhibit his latent Kryptonian powers, much to the distress of his mother. This was in large part a response to Tommy becoming an abusive drunk towards Lena. Ultimately, she revealed his true parentage and took Conner to live at the Kent Farm in Smallville, Kansas so he could learn to control his powers away from big cities, also changing his surname to Kent. As he entered his teens, the young hybrid dealt with anger issues and an identity crisis, and tended to steer that rage towards his stepmother, Lois Lane-Kent, whenever he visited Clark in Metropolis.

Before long, everyone had become fed up with Conner's attitude, and Clark asked Bruce Wayne to watch over him for a while and mentor the troubled teen. So he moved into Wayne Manor and began training in the BatCave, developing a brother-like bond with Dick Grayson.

Zatanna, Mistress of Magic

Spoiler: Images

Real Name: Zatanna Zatara (Z for short)
Age: 16
Birthday: November 13th, 2001
Birthplace: Gotham City, New Jersey

Powers/Abilities

As a talented member of the Homo Magi race, Zatanna can wield powerful magic as easily as she can speak. Literally. Like her father, she channels her power through logomancy, which means that if she says something backwards, it’ll just happen. Well, most of the time. She has raw power beyond her comprehension, but she still lacks proper control over her magic. If Z tries to do something that is extremely powerful and she hasn't practiced beforehand, she’ll likely end up with an unwanted side effect or an unwanted effect altogether. Also, her magical reserves are tied to her life force, so if she tries to use too much magic at once, she risks exhaustion, unconsciousness or even death. Without proper training, it is difficult for her to gauge how much energy she has left. When she is in a heightened emotional state she gains additional magical reserves but loses even more control.

Skills

Zatanna possesses fairly extensive knowledge of the occult through her magical training. She’s also a talented and charismatic performer. Finally, she can handle herself in hand-to-hand combat, especially with the help of her magic. She has great reaction time and and can speak backwards faster than most people can speak forwards.

Gear/Equipment

Zatanna has a wand that allows her to focus her magic more strongly, although she can certainly cast spells without it. Her hat and sleeves also contain extradimensional storage spaces.

Background

Zatanna was born in a hidden enclave of Homo Magi to Giovanni Zatara and Sindella. Her mother left without a trace shortly following her birth, forcing Giovanni to raise her alone in the mansion Shadowcrest in the suburbs of Gotham. Performing as a stage magician and assisting the Justice League against supernatural threats, Giovanni trained her daughter in the arts of both true magic and performance, as she proved highly talented in both. In order to be protected from the danger that would result from public knowledge of her powers, Z lived a sheltered life until she was ready for high school, learning from her father alone (and also some conjured spirits). When she proved herself able to control her powers enough to hide them, she was sent to Gotham High to receive a more ordinary education and to acquaint herself with the world that she was bound to protect.

Personality

Zatanna is charming, confident, independent and theatrical. At school, she's a bit of a loner but not an outcast; she's pretty and social enough to have plenty of casual friends and boys interested in her. But her name, fashion sense, status as the daughter of a famous magician, and tendency to cause strange happenings around her cause most to view her with distant curiosity if not fear. She craves attention, though, particularly if she can keep an air of mystery. Z loves using her powers to play tricks on people whenever she has the chance, as much as her father may disapprove of it. This is especially common during her frequent rebellious and flirtatious streaks. Though her moral compass isn't as strong as that of Batman or Superman, Z won't use any outright harmful spells on anyone who hasn't wronged herself or someone she cares about.

Batgirl

Real Name
Barbara Gordon

Age
17

Birthday
September 23rd

Birthplace
Gotham City, New Jersey

Skills
- Barbara is extremely proficient with computers. She is perhaps the most computer literate of the Bat-family, and one of the most efficient users of computers worldwide.
- Barbara is shown to have a naturally high intelligence, including a near-photographic memory.
- She is trained by Batman himself, and is proficient in tactics of investigation and stealth.
- She is a trained martial artist.

Gear/Equipment
Barbara, of course, uses the typical bat-utility belt filled with many different forms of Batarangs: including normal, explosive, magnetic, electric and seeing-eye (equipt with a camera or tracker). It also holds Bolas, smoke and gas pellets, pressurised grappling hooks, glue globules, freeze grenades, stun pellets, a rebreather, a taser and a cryptographic sequencer.

Her suit, since being accepted as a partner by Batman, is made of the same highly-sophisticated material as his. Her gloves also contain lock-picking mechanisms.

Powers/Abilities
N/A

Main Weaknesses
- Her acrobatics is her weak point. While she is proficient enough to keep up, she just doesn’t have the years of experience Batman, Nightwing and Robin have.
- She can be selfish. In more subtle ways than would hinder her nobility in the job, however. She can also be petty, at times.
- She’s human, and has all human weaknesses.

Background
Barbara Gordon was born the daughter of police commissioner James Gordon and his wife - also called Barbara. Even as a young girl, Barbara wanted nothing more than to be a superhero. She would spend endless hours designing superhero costumes and heroic identities for herself. It is not a surprise that she became infatuated with the Gotham City's most legendary phantom of the night – the Batman.

When Barbara was 11, her mother was tragically killed in an automobile accident (due largely to her mother’s drinking problem). Barbara was in the car at the time.

Perhaps as an indirect result of this tragedy. Barbara became completely obsessed with Batman, learning everything that she could about him. Her obsession with the vigilante only intensified upon her learning of her father’s bonds him. She began attempting to eavesdrop in on their secret conversations. Outdoing the Bat is near impossible, however. And she was soon caught - and put on the Batman’s radar for the first time.

Barbara soon insisted that her father enroll her in martial arts classes. While reluctant at first, he recognized that the daughter of Gotham City's police captain could definitely benefit from some knowledge of self-defense. Barbara excelled in her training and eventually earned her black belt. After that, she also began working on Jujitsu.

Barbara became Batgirl at the age of 14. During a celebration for the Gotham City Police Delartment, Killer Croc crashed the party, taking billionaires attende Bruce Wayne as a hostage in the process. Barbara donned a makeshift mask and tackled Killer Croc in the hopes of rescuing Bruce Wayne from his clutches. Bruce allowed Batgirl to "rescue" him so that he could sneak off to change into his "work" clothes.

Returning to the scene, Batman discovered that Killer Moth had gotten the better of Batgirl. In order to free her, he was forced to let the criminals get away. Batman chided Batgirl harshly for her foolish antics, and warned her against pursuing such a reckless lifestyle. Hearing such criticism from a man she idolized for so long was a shock for Barbara, but it did not deter her from her chosen path. She made herself a bat-themed suit and pieced together some tools to aid her in her persuit of justice.

It wasn’t until half a year later - a half year full of pestering and improvement - that Batman accepted Barbara as a side-kick and revealed his identity. Since then, Barbara has been an esteemed member of the Bat-Family.

Other
- Her protective-father doesn’t know of her vigilante alter-ego, and Barbara plans on keeping it that way!
- She stands at 5’9
- Played the piano for a while, but gave up when her martial arts training took over her priorities.

Robin

Real Name
Damian Wayne

Age
11

Birthday
October 29th

Birthplace
Riyadh, Arabia

Skills
- He is an exceptional martial artist, trained by the League of Assassins. He has claimed to know as many martial arts as Batman, though hasn’t yet proved this.
- Due to the extreme training from his mother (Talia Al Ghul) and grandfather (Ras Al Ghul), he has the skills and stealth of that of an extremely trained assassin.
- Damian has exceptional hearing. Is this an odd thing to mention? Yes. But he is the only Robin ever allowed to fight with a hood, since he has proved he could fight without seeing anything.
- His small size can help with his stealth.
- Damian is very acrobatic due to training with the League of Assassins. Not to the same level as Dick, though (and he’s tried, but he’d never admit it)
- Damian is very intelligent.

Gear/Equipment
Similar to Batman’s other non-powered charges, Damian Wayne possesses a utility belt filled with many different forms of Birdarangs: including normal, explosive, magnetic, electric and seeing-eye (equipt with a camera or tracker). It also holds Bolas, smoke and gas pellets, pressurised grappling hooks, glue globules, freeze grenades, stun pellets, a rebreather, a taser and a cryptographic sequencer.

Other equipment includes;
Katana sword (Though with a dulled blade, courtesy of Batman. He says the boy can fight with a real one when he has earned his trust. Damian has bitterly stated that that will never happen, and his old man knows it)
Brass knuckles
Gloves with lock picking mechanisms

As is to be expected, Damian’s suit is made of the same state of the art material as both Nightwing and Batgirl, and spirit gum holds his domino mask in place.

Powers/Abilities
N/A

Main Weaknesses
- His small size can be an advantage, but also a curse. No 11 year old, no matter how strong or how well trained, can escape a bear grip of a 6’0 tall thug, for example.
- His personality is a big one. It hinders his performance and his relationships. Especially his killer instinct. That’s...that’s a problem.
- He is human, and has all human weaknesses.

Background
Batman was not aware of Damian's existence for a considerable time. Genetically perfected and grown in an artificial womb, Damian was intended to be a formidable warrior. He was raised and trained by Talia and the League of Assassins. He was a talented martial artist by the time he was a pre-teen, at which point Talia revealed Damian's existence to his father after Slade Wilson betrayed the League of Shadows and killed Ra’s al Ghul, prompting Talia al Ghul to flee to Gotham with her “son”. She left him in Bruce's care and then vanished.

Precocious, spoiled, and violent, Damian didn’t get along well with his father, despite the boy’s efforts. Dick Grayson, already considering striking into his own identity, gave up his position as Robin to Damian and donned the name Nightwing in the hopes their relationship would better. And in the hopes that Damian would stop killing people. Unfortunately, that only drove an even deeper wedge between Bruce and his son.

Him being enrolled in Horace T. Gotham High School was less of a result of Damian being just that skilled - though few can doubt his ability to keep up - and more because Nightwing, Superboy and Batgirl were all enrolled and able to keep an eye on him. At this point, he has been in Bruce’s care for a little over half a year, and Robin for even less.

Other
- He’s vegetarian, ever since an incident in which he saved a cow from a slaughterhouse in the middle of a mission. Bruce wasn’t happy, and almost disposed to the newly dubbed Bat-Cow, but his other charges convinced him to allow Damian to keep the cow in a secluded and sound-proof corner of the Bat-Cave.
- He stands at 4’6
- Wonderful at art (though no one is allowed to see his works) and a skilful violinist.

Real Name: Adam Donavin
Age:17 years
Birthday: March 23rd 3993
Birthplace: Neo Metropolis ruins

Skills:
Hand to hand combat- while he isn't trained in any formal style of combat. He has spent almost his entire life battling the horrors that overtook his earth. As such he is a very skilled combatant with a quite unorthodox style. Though highly trained individuals can still beat him.

Firearms training- using the guns of the future is much the same as using the ones today. Again while he hasn't received any formal training he is quite talented naturally.

Survival & Stealth- part of surviving in a wartorn earth is staying out of the line of sight and keeping a steady supply of food and water.

Technological Genius- while he may not be very smart for the year 4000, in modern day he is a genius of technology able to identify and interact with even advanced alien technology. He is easily able to keep pace with most of the JLA techno genius's.

Gear/Equipment/Powers
Gigas Symbiotic Armor-the armor suit that Adam wears is actually a symbiotic nanobot battle suit developed in the future. It channels hia bioelectricity into usable Gauss energy which fuels the following powers.

Self sustenance- when armored Adam needs no food, water, or even oxygen he is able to survive on the suits energy alone.

Environmental immunity- being in a sealed suit allows him to operate in the vacuum of space and the deepest depths of the ocean.

Superhuman strength- the suit allows Adam to lift up to 10 tons

Superhuman Speed- the suit allows Adam to run at speeds of up to 290mph.

Superhuman durability- the armor plating on the suit is able to withstand bullets and small explosives with little damage.

Flight- by linking to the planets electromagnetic field Adam can fly at speeds that rival any modern vehicle topping out at mach 20 (undiscovered)

Blaster cannon- mounted on his right arm Is A Gauss energy cannon which can fire beams powerful enough to blast a titainium door down. While it packs a whollop he can lower its power to be non lethal. In which case it simply overloads Thr brain with electrical impulses to render a target unconscious.

Force field generation- if a source of damage would exceed the durability of the suit it will react by generating a skin tight force field to absorb the damage. This expends energy very quickly (undiscovered)

Energy weapon generation- Adam is capable of forming his energy into simple constructs such as a sword or an axe. The energy weapons act like plasma and cut with heat as opposed to force.

Technology manipulation- By infusing technology with his energy he can upgrade the tech using nanobots. He can turn a simple revolver into a plasma pistol. Or a fighter jet into a star fighter. It only effects technology he has touched and the effects only last as long as the contact does. (undiscovered)

Main weaknesses
Energy expenditure- Adam does not have a limitless amount of energy. His energy pool Is generated by the suit transferring bioelectricity into Gauss energy. This process is actually rather slow recharging at a rate of 5% per every hour. Meaning if he uses all of his energy it takes 20 hours to recharge. While his strength, speed, and durability cost no energy all other abilities expend energy and taking a big enough hit can fully deplete his entire energy reserve. Once the energy is depleted all of Adams powers turn off and the suit retracts into his body to recharge.

History
Born into a future of earth that more mirrored hell than earth. Less than 1% of the human population survived the cataclysmic fall of civilization. An apocalypse brought on by the invasion of the Alien race known as the Dreamon. A horrible race of psychic parasites which manifest themselves as horrible monsters to kill their prey and feed off of their fears. Well when Adam was born the remnants of humanity had placed their hopes for survival in him. They injected the world's most advanced weapon into him. The Gigas Nanobots. These nanobots bonded to his body and after a few years they manifested as the Gigas symbiotic armor. Upon realizing his Power and a bit of encouragement from his mother Adam took humanities latest enemy by the horns. They dreamon fell to him in droves, and he for a while inspired hope in the survivors. That was until the Dreamon successfully resurrected their god simply known to them as father. In a matter of moments Father rendered the earth dead. But in those last moments hia mother fired up her last ditch effort. A time machine built to transport all of the survivors to a time free of the dreamon. However only Adam made it into the portal in time. His mother was lost in Fathers second strike. Adam awoke in the streets of metropolis in a state of emotional duress, and after a very brief scuffle with a certain man of steel he was brought into the fold. While he still has alot to learn about this earth and it's people he seems to be adapting pretty well.

Other
Adam does poorly in social situations. It is best to have a chaperone with him when he leaves the base.

Spoiler: Father's Assault on earth.

The last thing Adam remembers seeing in his earth was the sky turning black as father slammed his fist down several hundred miles from his location. He never saw the horror that attacked the world. But that doesn't mean you can't

Skills:
Psychology- Jesse's study into the human mind has actually helped her in various situations from predicting her foes moves to helping talk down certain villains.

Hand to hand- Being the daughter of two superheroes it was only natural that Jesse would pick up on her parents skills. She's been training for most of her life.

Quick thinking- Even without the Speed Force Jesse is very quick to form a plan or try and think her way out of a situation.

History-
Jesse was born as the daughter of Johnny Chambers and Libby Lawerence otherwise known as Johnny Quick & Liberty Bell. Her parents were superheroes and that left her with big shoes to fill. At an early age she manifested her mother's powers, it wasn't until she was about 14 that her father introduced her to the Speed Formula in an attempt to convince her to join him as a costumed Crusader fighting crime as a father daughter team. Yet Jesse declined choosing instead to try and focus on her education she was already two grades ahead and soon bound for college. That was until last year when her father ran himself into the Speed Force trying to help Barry deal with Savitar. Both Libby and Jesse were devastated but they each took different routes. Liberty Bell retired hanging up her mask, and Jesse donned the costume Her father had made for her taking the name Jesse Quick. It wasn't long after this that Her mother Libby requested Bruce put her in the Titans program he was running so she could begin Her career from the safety of a group.

Other-
Jesse is still dealing with her father's death, her and her mother barely talk anymore and she does seem to seclude herself when she can.​
