YOUNG JUSTICE #8

Drake. Just drake. The most dangerous bird? A male duck? Really? Maybe Drake is the Earth-3 name for Cassowaries, large flightless birds with four-inch, dagger-like claws?

Look, Drake is a male duck. Not that dangerous. Someone has made a real error here – and if indeed it is meant to be an Earth-3 definition, then why would the DCU Tim Drake agree that it’s a good name? Maybe he also went to Cambridge University in London….

Anyway, Bart thinks he should nick it. And he’s got a logo now too. Once the logo has been done, that’s it.

So, Drake. Tim Drake. Robin. Red Robin. Drake. But can you have a superhero secret identity that is the same as your surname? Is that hiding one’s secret identity in plain sight?

Well, you know, Drake is not actually his surname, it was an assumed name that he went under to avoid the Cobblepots, as revealed in Teen Titans #0. Maybe he could revert back to his original surname now? Not that we ever learned it…

Drake. Will it grow on you?
