Bio[]
As seen in "Super Robin", Super Robin was a normal robin (bird) that Robin captured and experimented on. He becomes an eagle-like bird after fusing with Robin's DNA, and leaves the tower when Robin's experiment ends in failure.
Because Super Robin underwent Robin's intensive training, he has all of Robin's fighting skills and his own mini gadgets, like the grappling gun and staff. Super Robin uses his skills to his advantage by stealing food every so often. His deadpan look and serious skills are a running gag. He communicates by making quick and sharp movements with his wings. He was dubbed the "Best Robin" in "The Best Robin".
