10 Worst Things Robin Has Ever Done

1. Tim Drake Stalks (And Attempts To Murder) Captain Boomerang

In a comic that provides concrete proof that all Robins are a stone's throw from becoming DC's answer to the Punisher, Tim Drake goes full murder mode in Red Robin #26, stalking Captain Boomerang and fantasising about killing him the whole time.

While Drake eventually does let Boomerang live, it's only after endangering his life several times, and then actively placing him in a situation where he would have died without the Red Robin's help. It's the most paltry kind of assistance, and the whole thing only serves to leave him in hot water with Batman after all is said and done.

As much as Drake's actions aren't without justification - as Boomerang did, after all, kill his dad - Drake knows that his father would have wanted Boomerang taken in lawfully, instead of punished by Tim's own hand.

With this in mind, the more questionable part of the Robin's behaviour is the fact that he clearly wanted to hurt the villain for his own personal sense of vengeance - and so it's a relief he leaves it at merely stalking and maiming him.
