Ed's Notes: Gonna be honest here... I'm NOT a fan of Red Robin. I dig the Red Hood. That Character is cool, with a reason to exist. This characters exists because two other Robins grew up and they wanted a fourth one. (How old IS Batman at this point, BTW?!) I statted him out on my own, aging up his stats the way I did with Jason's, based on how Dicks did. Mark has him a bit higher in a lot of ways, but I'm being a shit and keeping him lower. Why? I don't know. Feels right? (Probably because I really don't like the character much? Lol) He's equal to or superior to Red Hood in most ways, in any case.


I did use Mark's writeup almost exactly as written for the equipment. If there were equivalent items on Robin III's page, I just kept them, and I dropped or adapted some of the Blood of Heroes content, but substantively the inventory here matches his. (And DAMN is he loaded up.)

Finally, I did NOT reference the Red Robin entry from Writeups.org, as they make it clear that THEIR Red Robin character is meant to be an older Dick Grayson. Technically it is THAT version that makes the Character's First Appearance in Kingdom Come, but that's what I've got, so I'm including that cover below, unless someone can tell me otherwise.


First Appearance: Kingdom Come #2 (June, 1996)

  1. For the record, I hat him as Red Robin. I liked him as THE BEST ROBIN EVER.

    1. At the time (early-to-mid '90's?) he was my favorite as well. NOW... Gotta admit I'm partial to Carrie Kelley. But Tim Drake had her flat out beat in terms of raw skill, hands down, no question. But yeah... Red Robin... Kinda gratuitous... Not very original (like Nightwing or Red Hood). But for completeness sake, I figured I should include him.
