Dick Grayson

Richard "Dick" John Grayson is a superhero and vigilante under the superhero alias of Nightwing, and formerly Robin. He is also a founding member and current leader of the Teen Titans.

Early life and time as Robin
Dick was the youngest in a family of acrobats known as "The Flying Graysons". After his parents were killed by a mafia boss named Tony Zucco, Bruce Wayne, having witnessed the tragedy, took in the young Richard, and after 6 months of training, he became the first Robin.

Becoming Nightwing
At the age of 18, and having been Robin for 9 years at this point, Dick decided it was time to become his own man, and step out of Bruce's shadow. He managed to do so, becoming the superhero Nightwing, basing himself out of Bludhaven.

Founding the Titans
Shortly after becoming Nightwing, Dick founded a team of young superhero known simply as the Titans.

It is unknown under what circumstances the team formed. The only other known member at this time is his girlfriend, Starfire.

Personality
Unlike his mentor, Dick is shown to be more easy-going and approachable, even in his Nightwing identity. He is also rather talkative. Despite his demeanor, he does take matters seriously if the situation presents itself. Dick also holds a high regard for Bruce as he was his mentor and surrogate father, though he has stated that it was not easy growing up under his tutelage. In addition, he has no desire to inherit the mantle of Batman, wanting to be his own man rather than live in Bruce's shadow, displaying great disdain for filling in for Bruce when he disappeared.
