History:
When Jack Haly, head of the Haly Circus, refused to pay extortion money to Gotham crime lord Boss Zucco, Haly's number one act -- the Flying Graysons -- became targets for the underworld. Young Dick Grayson watched in horror as his parents' high wire snapped and they hurtled to their death.

The Batman, investigateing the death of the Flying Graysons, decided to adopt the young acrobat and make him his partner-in-peril. A natural and professional acrobat, Dick took quickly to the extensive training and soon debuted as Robin, the Boy Wonder.

Over the years Robin met several other young adventurers and together they formed the first version of the Teen Titans. This early group achieved great success, but eventually dissolved as the teens grew older and found their time limited due to schooling and solo adventures.

A second group of Titans was formed a year after the first group ended, and even more young adventurers joined. However, this group, too, quickly disbanded.

As Dick turned 19 years old, a third group of Titans was created, and Dick quickly became its leader.

Over the first few months with the New Teen Titans, Dick met and quickly fell in love with a beautiful alien named Princess Koriand'r from the planet Tamaran in the Vegan star-system.

As Dick matured he decided that it was time to quit being Robin. He was no longer the Batman's partner. He no longer fit the image of a young Boy Wonder. Dick wanted to be his own man with his own identity. Turning his Robin uniform over to the Batman's new ward, Jason Todd, Dick Grayson soon took on the new identity of Nightwing.

Nightwing continued to lead the New Teen Titans and also joined his lover, Starfire, on a return visit to her homeworld. Once there, however, Starfire learned she had to stay on her troubled world as well as marry a prince of the southern realm. Although Dick understood this was a marriage of state and that Starfire would return to Earth as soon as she could… and though Dick also understood that Koriand'r still loved him and not the man she was forced to marry, Dick returned to Earth, resigned his leadership in the Titans, and struck off on his own.

As of this writing, Nightwing has become a believer in the Church of Brother Blood. What will happen to him now is as yet unrevealed.

Powers:
Nightwing is a superb athlete capable of any number of incredible gymnastic achievements and is also a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant. Dick Grayson has a quick and facile mind, and is a master detective, second only to the Batman.

Dick also possesses a utility wrist band that contains several weapons, including a collapsible Frisbee-shaped boomerang and gas pellets. He frequently prefers to use a high-powered motorcycle specially designed for crimefighting.
