NIGHTWING
Real Name: Richard "Dick" Grayson
Alias: Robin, The boy wonder, Nightwing.
Birthday: November 11
Age: 45
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Height: 5'10"
Blood Type: O
Alignment: Good
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Hometown:Gotham city
Nationality:America
Powers and Abilities:
- Peak Human Conditioning: Dick Grayson possesses the peak athletic strength and endurance of a man who regularly engages in intensive physical exercise. His physical attributes exceed that of any Olympic level athlete that has ever competed. His strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, agility and coordination are at peak human perfection.
- Master Detective: Grayson is a world class detective, second only to the likes of Batman. He was rigorously trained by the Dark Knight in everything from escapology to criminology, fencing, stealth, disguise, and numerous other combat/non-combat disciplines.
- Master Acrobat: Grayson is a prodigious natural athlete, possessing a peak human level of agility/acrobatic skills. He is regarded as the greatest human acrobat in the DC universe. Batman himself is an incredible athlete in agility, and is at peak human perfection, but even he gives the advantage in that area over to Nightwing.[ He is the only person on Earth who can do the quadruple somersault.
- Intimidation: He has been taught by Batman, the ability to instill fear into others. While not as efficient as Batman in this category, he still uses this ability effectively. A prominent example of his interrogation technique was his tactic of threatening to allow Gorilla Grodd's soldiers to drown unless he divulged who had sent him to attack New York City (A threat he obviously was not going to follow through with).
Appearance:
This hero has a body that is only achieved through years of vigorous exercisers and activates. Having one, if not the best figures out of only humans, or even meta-humans. The hair of the hero is ear length and black, he has been known to let it grow longer and sport a ponytail but he is much too old for that. His hair is shaggy, and is usually swept to the left. He stands at five ten, weighing one hundred and eighty pounds of mostly muscles. He has blue eyes and rather tan skin. His usual attire consist of suits, or other designer clothes. Due to the years and years if these practices his body is covered with various scars, and wounds. They are only visible if he is shirtless, etc.
In Living color;
Personality:After the events that have taken away the heroes that engulfed the universe in peace in justice, the former sentry fell into a deep depression. The death of his wife, along with those he had known for decades caused him to blame himself for just about everything. No longer having the time for his daughter, he blames himself for her hero turn, not wanting her to have the life that he has lead. Nightwing now a Icon is under pressure, not only fighting in Gotham, but patrolling key cities in the country. He is a more silent, guilt stricken vessel, compared to the former version of himself that had shown key leadership roles, and other feats that made him an equal to his mentor. He now suffers from random flash back's, that seem to activate at random moments. He has flash backs of past events, and most often of the events that took place twenty five years ago. The death's of the majority of the bat family hurt him the most. Seeing Bruce's own son pass caused him to worry more and more about his own seed, thus he at times attempts to catch her and lock her inside the house, displaying a over protective sense.
History:Canon?.
Inventory:Please include quantity of items. These are items and gadgets the character usually uses. Please include description with items.
- The outfit:
- Nightwing's current costume is made of a version of the Nomex fire-resistant, triple-weave Kevlar-lined material. It is an excellent protection against damage, and it's also electrically insulated. Instead of a black cape for stealthing, the suit is light sensitive, darkening when there is more light in the area. The current costume is a stylized blue "wing" across his shoulders and extending to his hands, coloring his two middle fingers, over a black torso and legs. Nightwing's costume is tailored specifically to his unique style of crime-fighting. As such, his costume has fewer body-armor inlays than Batman's, anticipating a decreased need for shock-absorption and an increased capacity for motion ("Move more, get hit less."). A caveat of this configuration can be exploited by capable fighters who are both fast and strong, such as Superman. Should Nightwing need to engage an enemy who is capable of exploiting this weakness, he has supplemental body-armor overlays which he can attach to his gauntlets, his mask, his shoulders, and boots
- Nightwing Mask: The mask, in the form of his symbol, is fixed in place with spirit gum, and includes a built-in radio transmitter/receiver and Starlite night-vision lenses.
- Nightwing Gauntlets: Each gauntlet's sections can contain a wide array of equipment, such as:
- sonic or smoke pellets,
- modified batarangs ("Wing-Dings"),
- knockout gas capsules and throwing tracers
- 100,000-volt stun gun.
- Nightwing Boots: Like the gauntlets, his boots can carry vital elements like:
- flares,
- a rebreather as protection against any airborne non-contact toxins,
- a mini-computer equipped with fax, modem, GPS and a minidisk rewritable drive.
- Held in spring-loaded pouches in the back of his costume, Nightwing carries a pair of Escrima sticks made from an unbreakable polymer that are wielded as both offensive and defensive weapons. Some depictions have displayed these tools with the mechanism to shoot a grappling hook attached to a swing line.
- He has been known to have lock picks, a first aid kit, a mini-cellphone, flexi-cuffs, antitoxin assortment, signal flares, wireless listening devices and a small halogen flashlight.
- Transportation
Nightwing has a transformable car has a convertible chassis that can disguise it self as any similarly sized vehicle like a taxi cab or sports car. It houses a 3.7 McLaren racing engine, automatic transmission and all wheel drive, dual batteries and puncture resistant tires. The car is not only bulletproof, but also bullet absorbent in order to prevent stray ricochets from hitting innocent bystanders.
