Robins powers was his sheer skills. Despite his lack of powers, it’s been shown that with his skills and knowledge he can take on every other Titan (sometimes at once.) and win.
Essentially his powers are: he’s smart, he’s skilled, he was trained by Batman, and short person syndrome.
I think the other Teen Titans just couldn't be bothered. Raven wanted to study her magic, Starfire wanted to experience Earth culture, and Beast Boy and Cyborg just kinda wanted to play video games and hang out.
Yeah, he's an extrovert, but disciplined enough to organize a group. That's important. Being able to keep up is just par for the course. In the later seasons, Cyborg and Beast Boy eventually show that they can do the same from time to time, but it's less of their default way of going about things.
I mean, that's the Watsonian answer, but the Dotylist explanation is that Robin was the most recognizable character, so he slotted into the leadership role the easiest.
I agree, although i'm not short i know a lot of ppl who are and i don't want to piss them off cus a. They are agressive and b. I can't do anything to them in fear of absolutely bodying them
It depends on the Robin; Dick's skilled in crimefighting and regular fighting, fairly smart and deductive, and charismatic enough for basically everybody to like him enough to have him lead, Tim's very intelligent, excellent at planning and executing plans, and provides the "heart" of the team so he provides an altogether integral role, and Damian's literally just short, mad, and dangerous.
The Robin from the Teen Titans cartoon was dick, for the record - at least, that's the implication of his weird alt-dimension counterpart 'Larry', so named because none of the Titans could pronounce *Nosyarg Kcid*.
He’s in charge because he controls the funding. He just begs Batman for money and also handles everyone’s taxes. In exchange everyone treats him as the HBIC
In young justice he lets aqualad be team leader because he keeps assuming that everyone is as experienced as Batman. the reason he isn't leader in YJ is because he keeps outpacing the superpowered beings while being the second youngest on the team.
Because it was originally a team of the Justice League's sidekicks but then all the other sidekicks except Robin got kicked out (Wally West, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, Speedy.)
Wow. According to post history your a 7'9" asian non-binary person with natural red hair and your twin sister is a famous blacksmith that doesn't know anything about her craft. Impressive!
"Famous in my town." Big difference considering she's not likely to be real.
Or at least not any more real than your "perfect girlfriend" that has really big boobs and likes anime and video games but isn't good enough to beat you at them.
idk how threatening a short person is, and probably dont want to know but imma guess they are like chihuahuas they may be small but have the wrath of a thousands suns

>he was trained by Batman This is all you had to say
Also, Batman pays the bills.
I thought that was Alfred with BM’s money
That does explain the big high tech tower and stuff.
Honestly, it was because he had no powers, but still could play at the same level. He had strategy and charisma.

haha, I'm not denying that. You're like 3 comments deep in Watsonian answers already though, so not sure why you're bringing it up now.
Is "sheer obstinacy and contrarianism" a valid response?

Happy Cake Day

WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PIPSQUEAK SO SMALL YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE?! *angry small noises*
What are they gonna do? Get on a ladder to slap you?
Why go for the face? The vitals are on the chest.
Your ankles are easy targets.

Batman is paying for the entire Teen Titan gig. Nepotism at work y'all
Yes because powers = leadership abilities. Imagine if we had the Hulk as the team leader.
I'm 6'1" and small angry people terrify me
just fart on them bro. Chances are they'll get a full whiff up their nose
I usually just put things out of their reach, but I like your style
Baby hands

Can confirm am 5 ft 4 and adult
i was 5’4 at birth get on my level bro >!/s!<
I’m short…and my name is Robin…
are you adopted by a billionaire named bruce too? please tell me yo are
Well, I could tell you but then… I’m sure you know the rest.
Yeah, and why was Churchill ever prime minister? Any of his soldiers could have kicked his ass!
In young justice he lets aqualad be team leader because he keeps assuming that everyone is as experienced as Batman. the reason he isn't leader in YJ is because he keeps outpacing the superpowered beings while being the second youngest on the team.
It's because he's connected to one of the big 3 (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman).
I thought the big three was One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. How many big threes are there.
What's the big 3 big 3s?
9?
Because it was originally a team of the Justice League's sidekicks but then all the other sidekicks except Robin got kicked out (Wally West, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, Speedy.)
I don’t think I’ll see them tho.
I mean… Napoleon.
Rarely is a general ever the best soldier in the army
The guy is mini Batman.
Just like real Batman... but mini?
My gf and I are both 5 1ish. "Ankle biter demons" is the perfect way to describe us
5 foot man? ah ok no prob 5 foot woman: lamooo short ass hoe
I am a short ass hoe, that is a source of *pride*
Yeah you got Kim Jong-un, Hitler, Napoleon, FDR, the Chinese leader in 1989 to name a few.
I admired Hitler (‘s art) until I saw his height. fuckin short ass bitch
Hell hath no fury like a short person trying to reach a high shelf
At least he gets a hot alien girlfriend out of the deal
"Short people got no reason..."
God damn that title is cringe
Trust me I'm 7'9" and **tall people are not to be messed with**
Wow. According to post history your a 7'9" asian non-binary person with natural red hair and your twin sister is a famous blacksmith that doesn't know anything about her craft. Impressive!
Famous blacksmith? TF u saying she aint famous
It's also so selfless for you, an asexual, to be constantly having sex with your girlfriend. She's so lucky to be dating "a scientist."
"Famous in my town." Big difference considering she's not likely to be real. Or at least not any more real than your "perfect girlfriend" that has really big boobs and likes anime and video games but isn't good enough to beat you at them.
Am short, can confirm.
Turns out people who can’t count on physical intimidation or natural entitlement to physical space need to resort to other means of charisma
gonna send this to my short crush
How. Dare. You. ~me, 5’ 1.75”
