Through continuous intense training, Tim possesses peak level strength, stamina, speed, reflexes and agility for a teenager. However, Tim is not fully grown, so should he remain in peak condition as an adult, these levels will likely be even higher.
Master Acrobat
Martial Arts Master: Tim has mastered multiple martial arts but his most preferred[citation needed] type of combat is Stick Fighting. He has incorporated aspects of Lady Shiva, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson and Connor Hawke's fighting styles into his own, as well as others.
Genius-Level Intellect: Tim's naturally high intellect allows him to excel in computer science and more importantly as a skilled detective. Furthermore, Tim apparently has a firm grasp of assorted scientific techniques including biology, engineering and genetics, which he has been shown to use in his attempts at re-cloning Superboy. Batman states that Tim could potentially be smarter and better than himself. Batman has trained him in many disciplines, such as martial arts, forensic science, criminology, acrobatics, stealth, disguise, and escapology.
Master Detective: Tim's ability to deduce the secret identities of superheroes on his own has been used to underscore his skill. Among the identities used in this way are the Batman, both of his predecessors as Robin, the Huntress, and Captain Marvel.
Master Tactician and Strategist: Tim, much like Dick Grayson is also a brilliant and experienced strategist with impressive leadership skills, having served as leader to the Teen Titans, Young Justice, and even being placed in charge of the the rescue efforts of Blüdhaven by Superman, following the attack made by Deathstroke and his fellow villains.

ParaphernaliaEdit
Equipment
Robin Costume 1: Tim's original costume was slightly different from that of his predecessors as supplied by Batman to give him a measure of increased protection. It includes an armored tunic, a cape that is black on the outside though still yellow on the inside, and green leggings. Other details include an armored gorget, jika-tabi style boots, an emergency "R" shuriken on his chest in addition to the traditional batarangs, and a collapsible bo staff as primary weapon. There is also a general change of the theme of the equipment from "Bat" to "Robin".
Robin Costume 2: Tim updated his costume to match the Superboy's black and red color scheme as homage to his late friend. These updates include long sleeves, the elimination of the green from the suit, the addition of scallops to his gloves and cape, and inclusion of a utility belt with pockets. The scallops on the cape give an illusion of feathers rather than bat-wings, as seen on the cape of the Batman. The stylized "R" on Robin's chest has been replaced with a more traditional one, though its appearance varies from artist to artist. Robin retains his "R" shurikens, but he now carries them in his belt as opposed to his tunic.
Red Robin Costume 1: With Damian now assuming the role of Robin, Tim adopted the full uniform of Red Robin. This costume seems to contain a mixture of both Tim's old Robin uniforms, as well as Batman's. The uniform is comprised black leggings and boots, a red tunic similar to that of Dick Grayson's old Robin tunic, thought lacking the 'R' emblem. He wears a utility belt, again similar to the one wore by Dick Grayson while as Robin, only of a slightly larger size. He then has a chest harness, that is connected by the Red Robin symbol. Finally, he wears a black cowl and cape. Rather than use throwing stars or batarangs like before, Tim now uses Red Robin throwing disks. He does, however, continue to use his collapsible bow staff as his primary weapon.
Red Robin Costume 2: With a few minor alterations by Alfred, Tim begins patrolling with a new version of the Red Robin costume. The hip-flaps are replaced with a more streamlined look and the heavy leather is replaced (or at least lessened). Tim returns to a utility belt more like his previous Robin costume (arguably more Batman in nature, as well, ditching the thin rod-canisters in favour of the metal, square "pouch"-style). The cape also acts as a glider.
Red Robin Costume 3: While on his new gig with the Teen Titans, he has a new costume, free of the cowl with a domino mask similar to both his Robin costumes, and has new wings rather than a cape, and it is basically a dark red jumpsuit with a yellow utility belt and black highlights on the jumpsuit. The shirt portion of the suit appears to be jacket-like. The new suit does also use the bo staff as a weapon.
Transportation
Redbird
Robin's Motorcycle
Weapons
As Batman, Tim carried and used the utility belt.
As Robin, Tim uses "R" shurikens, Batarangs, extendible staff given to him by Lady Shiva. He also often uses a sling.
As Red Robin, Tim uses Robin's Battle Staff with an added hidden blade, grapnel guns, and throwing discs {similar to batarangs, but circular and adorned with the Red Robin insignia}, these were also used by previous wearers of the Red Robin costume.
What's hidden behind the mask:
Personality: Throughout his life, Tim Drake has gone through a number of events that have altered his personality. Though Tim has always been a serious child, a number of events he had experienced has only intensified his already serious nature. A once balanced child was turned into a dark man. Before becoming Robin, he had built up a good life for himself and good friends with people he could trust, even his father has accepted what he was doing with his life. he was friendly and likeable that he had been able to enjoy life. He cares about innocent people, and would never stand by and watch someone be hurt or killed. He has a strong moral compass.
History:
Tim Drake is the son of Jack and Janet Drake, coming from the same social class as Bruce Wayne.[11] When he was a young child, he visited the circus for the first time with his parents. The Drakes asked the Flying Graysons for a photo together, resulting in a momentary bond between Dick Grayson and Tim Drake as they met for the first time.[12]
After reaching the age of nine, Drake deduces the identities of Batman and Robin as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson after witnessing a gymnastic move by Robin that Grayson displayed while performing with the Flying Graysons. Noting that Batman has grown reckless and violent following the death of second Robin Jason Todd, who was murdered by the Joker, Drake decided to intervene and Batman eventually enlisted him as the third Robin after the death of his mother and crippling of his father. Jack Drake also appeared in Identity Crisis. When Jean Loring sent him a gun he used it in self-defense and killed Captain Boomerang, but at the last second, Captain Boomerang threw a boomerang that killed Jack Drake. As a result Tim became an orphan, continuing the long held tradition that Robin is an orphan.[9][13][14]

Before joining Batman as the new Robin, Tim Drake was given a modern redesign of the Robin costume and sent to train abroad with numerous masters.[15] When Bruce Wayne retires after Knightfall, Robin goes solo to defend Gotham. Robin would eventually go on to co-star with other teenaged superheros in Young Justice and Teen Titans. He also made guest appearances in other DC comic books such as Nightwing and Azrael.
Following the deaths of his father in Identity Crisis (2004), his girlfriend Stephanie Brown in Batman: War Games (2004–2005) and his best friend Superboy (Kon-El) in Infinite Crisis (2005–2006), Drake was relocated to Blüdhaven for a period of time in order to escape the "ghosts" of Gotham City and to stay close to his stepmother Dana Winters who was admitted into a Blüdhaven clinic after going into psychological shock over Jack Drake's murder at the hands of Captain Boomerang,[16][17] was given another redesign of the Robin costume in the colors of Superboy's costume[18] and was formally adopted by Bruce Wayne as his son.[11][19]
After Batman's apparent death in Batman R.I.P. and Final Crisis, Bruce Wayne's biological son Damian Wayne takes up the Robin identity while Tim Drake, believing that his mentor is still alive, assumes the identity of Red Robin and leaves Gotham City to go on a worldwide search for Bruce Wayne.

Red Robin, which was launched in late 2009, depicted Tim Drake's search to find evidence that Bruce Wayne was still alive after cutting himself off from the rest of the Bat Family. He was approached by Ra's al Ghul's assassins, who were also interested in finding out what happened to Batman. At the same time, Tam, Lucius Fox's daughter, has been sent to find Tim Drake-Wayne to bring him back to Gotham. Tim goes to Iraq and manages to discover definitive proof that Bruce was alive and lost in time, but was ambushed by an assassin from the Council of Spiders. He manages to drive himself and Pru[clarification needed] to Tam Fox's hotel room, and they are promptly abducted by the League of Assassins. Although initially reluctant, he entered into an alliance with Ra's al Ghul nearly bleeding to death due to their encounter with the Council of Spiders. He was put in charge of the League of Assassins by Ra's al Ghul, and used the time to simultaneously plan how to stop the Council of Spiders and destroy the League of Assassins. After failing to foil all but one of the Council's assassination attempts, Tim realizes that the Council will be attacking the League's base, and realizes that he left Tam Fox in danger at the base. Rushing back to base, he simultaneously manages to delay the Council of Spiders, blow up the League's base, and escape with Tam.
After crippling Ra's al Ghul's League of Assassins, Drake returns to Gotham City to overthrow Ra's plans to use Hush, who was surgically altered to resemble Bruce Wayne, to gain control of the Wayne family resources by becoming the CEO and controlling shareholder of Wayne Enterprises in accordance to Bruce Wayne's will. Ra's al Ghul plans to destroy all that Batman held dear, and begins directing his assassins to target all of the Batman's associates. Realizing that these attacks are a smokescreen and that the real target is coercing Hush to sign away Wayne Enterprises, Red Robin decides to confront Ra's al Ghul head on. He calls upon all of his friends to protect the various targets. He distracts Ra's al Ghul from stopping Lucius Fox from making Drake the controlling shareholder of Wayne Enterprises. Realizing that Red Robin has bested him, Ra's al Ghul commends him, calls him 'detective,' and launches Tim out of the window. Tim is happy that he was able to achieve victory without any compromises, and is saved from falling by Batman, Dick Grayson. Drake has since moved back to Gotham City and reestablished ties with his family and friends. After Bruce Wayne's return, Tim begins to aid his plans for expanding their mission globally with Batman, Inc.[22] Tim is eventually appointed as the head of the newest incarnation of the Outsiders, who now serve as Batman Inc.'s black-ops wing.[23] Red Robin eventually rejoins the Teen Titans and takes over leadership from Wonder Girl. He remains as the team's leader during their climatic battle against Superboy-Prime and the new Legion of Doom.[24]
Following an adventure with Blackbat where he faces Ra's al Ghul's sister,[25] Tim stalks and attempts to kill Captain Boomerang (who was resurrected during the Brightest Day). Though Tim ultimately stops himself from killing Boomerang, he is chastised by Batman for his actions.[26]

In the 2011 relaunch in September, Tim Drake is seen in the new Teen Titans #1 issue as Red Robin, now sporting a new costume designed by Brett Booth.[27] According to writer Scott Lobdell, many elements of Drake's history will remain canon.[28] At the start of the series, Tim has been in a state of semi-retirement after his falling out with Batman, and uses his computer skills to fight crime over the internet in a manner similar to Oracle. He is also shown monitoring various teenaged superheroes, such as Static, Miss Martian, Solstice and Kid Flash. After being attacked by agents from the shadowy organization N.O.W.H.E.R.E., Tim dons a new Red Robin suit and returns to the world of crime fighting.[29]
As Red Robin, Tim teams up with the mysterious and belligerent powerhouse thief known as Wonder Girl and the hyperactive speedster calling himself Kid Flash to stand a chance against his many enemies. This Teen Titans roster seems to have no ties to the previous Titans.
In Teen Titans #0, Tim Drake's new origin was revealed. In the New 52, Tim is a talented athlete and computer genius who comes close to discovering the Batman's identity but never totally figures it out. When Tim finds the Batman and gets rejected for the role of sidekick, he decides to bring the Batman to him, by hacking the Penguin's bank account and donating millions of dollars. The Penguin's goons come after Tim and his family, but the Batman saves them. Tim's parents go into witness protection, but they believe Tim deserves better and ask Bruce to take care of him for them. Bruce adopts Tim, the Witness Protection Program renames him 'Tim Drake,' and he takes on the identity of 'Red Robin.'
Sample RP:
Bruce didn't give him all the information he needed, but then again, when did Batman ever give everything he knew. Bruce always seemed to think you work harder with pieces missing. Tim disagreed, knowledge is the ability to change plans with open possibilities. The less options you have, the more straight ahead you are forced to move. "Hope you know what you're doing Batman." Robin was perched high up on a building.
Tim looked down and saw three men. One he knew, the other two... just lackeys. In a town like Gotham, it didn't matter how much Bruce and his 'family' tried to clean it up. There were always young men, who lacked the courage to do whats right, and became lost in a system, sacrificing their youth, and sometimes lives, to feel important.
Robin needed to focus on the main one. His body covered from head to toe in hash marks. "Zsasz, you've been too busy lately. Don't know if Dick let his guard down, but I think Bludhavens been you're base lately. I aim to stop that." Robin pulled out a small orb, it was a device, that would give off a small shockwave, when hit hard enough against a solid surface. Tim had tried it before, but when he threw it to the ground, it didn't go off. It was... embarrassing. It must have been set for Bruce's strength level. Tim didn't actually have permission to use it anyhow.
Tim attached the orb to the top of his staff, and screwed it in tight. "This should do the trick." Tim spread his cape out, and coasted downwind to the ground below. With a quick BOOM, his staff met cement, and the three men went down. Not surprisingly, Victor Zsasz came right back up for me. "Little Robin, is not so little anymore." Victor smiled from ear to ear as he saw Tim standing there. "You know... I save a whole block of flesh for the bat boys and girls. You are a special desire, the only one who thinks before he leaps."
Tim quickly cracked Victor in the jaw, mid speech. "Quiet Zsasz." Tim flipped backward, as Victor came in with a slice of a knife Robin barely even knew was there. As Tim put his staff away, he felt a hot pain in his arm. Robin looked down, and saw a pair of custom made scissors sticking into his shoulder. "Birdy birdy, flew too high."
Tim looked up, and tossed three Bird-a-rangs into the street lights above. As Darkness kicked in, Robin put on his night vision goggles. "Do you think young man, that skin cuts any less without the light." Victor spoke with an increasing amount of desire. Tim jabbed his staff into Zsasz's leg, as the man collapsed down a bit. Victor barely missed with a swipe of his blade, as Robin stomped down on his hand, forcing him to release his weapon. "My my, you are getting better. Soon even I won't be able to tell you and Nightwing apart. Except for these delightful costumes you wear. I've always felt a mans skin was the only fashion he ever need."
Victor dashed closer. "NOW GIVE ME YOURS!"

Tim looked up, and tossed three Bird-a-rangs into the street lights above. As Darkness kicked in, Robin put on his night vision goggles. "Do you think young man, that skin cuts any less without the light." Victor spoke with an increasing amount of desire. Tim jabbed his staff into Zsasz's leg, as the man collapsed down a bit. Victor barely missed with a swipe of his blade, as Robin stomped down on his hand, forcing him to release his weapon. "My my, you are getting better. Soon even I won't be able to tell you and Nightwing apart. Except for these delightful costumes you wear. I've always felt a mans skin was the only fashion he ever need."
Victor dashed closer. "NOW GIVE ME YOURS!"
