DC 2099 #12 Robin
Hello friends ,
I'll post here my Robin .
Hope you enjoy .
It had been ten years since the Thanagarian occupation of Earth had ended. What started as a war between the planets of Thanagar and Rann turned into the enslavement of the human race. In a desperate attempt to keep their planet from falling into the hands of the Thanagarians, the people of Rann began “Zeta-bombing” the cities of Thanagar. The cities would then teleport and materialize on Earth, sometimes with disastrous, even destructive results. When the capital of Thanagar, Thalrassa, was Zeta-bombed, the unthinkable happened. The city was to large to sustain through a Zeta-beam, in an instant two planets were blinked out of existence.
The cities that survived the process started to integrate themselves into their surroundings. They tried their best to share their technology with Earth while trying to find a way back to Thanagar. When news broke of Thanagar and Rann’s demise, revolution broke out. Led by the anarchist Hro Talak , the ten united cities of Thanagar joined forces. With superior technology and strategic positioning around the world, the Thanagarians were able to topple the Earth’s ruling governments. They also outlawed and disposed of most of the Earth’s heroes.
Fel Andar was a Thanagarian politician who had fallen in love with a human named Cary Gordon. Before the Thanagarian war with Earth, Fel and Cary had a baby boy, Dillon. Unfortunately, Fel’s politics landed him on the wrong side when Hro began his coup of Earth. Fel and Cary were killed for opposing the war. Dillon went to live with his uncle, Richard Grayson III, this generation’s Batman.
The Batman had been able to escape the hero purge, and was one of the leaders of Earth’s resistance against the Thanagarians. He and his group Outsiders (consisting of Adam Marvel, Dr. Fate, the Blue Lantern, The Red Tornado v 6.0, the Huntress, and the White Arrow. ) were able to keep a human resistance alive and eventually overturn the Thanagarian invaders.
Usually at this part in the story, there is a time where the mentor is resistant to taking on an apprentice until the apprentice proves himself through rebellious action…..kill that noise. The Earth was at war, they needed all the soldiers they could muster, and he was just handed a half human half Thanagarian hybrid. The Thanagarians had bio-sig technology, which kept non-Thanagarians from using their technology. Grayson confronted Dillion with these truths, and Dillon accepted. Grayson refitted Dillon’s military school uniform with Thanagarian weapons and gadgets.
Hro Talak, who had taken to calling himself the Golden Pharaoh, reigning from the world capital in Cairo Egypt, announced that he would begin the rite of accension essentially adding him to the Thanagarian pantheon of gods. The Outsiders collided with Thanagarian forces at the ceremony, and defeated the Golden Pharaoh. In a last ditch attempt, the Pharaoh struck out at Robin, Batman jumped in front of him, sacrificing his own life.
Since the ending of the occupation, Thanagarians have gone on to colonize Saturn and even start friction with the new colonies on MARS. Some Thanagarians who chose to stay behind are now becoming the targets of racist attacks. Robin left the Outsiders (which became the new JLA) and formed the Birds of Prey with Black Canary, Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Robin now fights for justice for Thanagarians and humans combined.
Robin 2099:
His mask provides protection and a filtered rebreathing system in conjunction with telescopic, thermal, UV, and x-ray vision.
His Nth metal armor and cape lining provide protection and flight capabilities.
The talons on his hands are grappling hooks.
The “Robin eggs” on his belt are filled with gasses, flash bombs, acid, and other sundries.
The talons on his feet allow for perching on uneven surfaces and as weapons when attacking.
He carries a scythe that is composed of energized Nth metal. (An homage to a cross between Hawkgirl’s mace and Robin’s staff).
