Young Man
CharacterThe Young Man is a small-time thug who crosses paths with the Grayson brothers years apart. Spared during a monster's rampage in his first appearance, he later resurfaces as a swaggering bully who picks the worst possible target in a super-powered child.
Appearance
The show offers no detailed description of him beyond a young human man. In his debut he turns up amid Titan's assault on the city, clutching a shotgun, and he resurfaces seasons later with the same streetwise swagger.
Personality
What emerges of his character comes through his behavior rather than any stated traits. He carries himself as an aggressive bully, quick to torment someone he assumes is weaker, yet just as quick to bolt the moment the odds turn against him. When his chosen target reveals real power, his bravado collapses into panic and flight.
History
During Titan's violent rampage the Young Man found himself among the crowd and was spared, surviving even after clumsily firing off a shot before fleeing rather than pressing his luck. Long afterward he reappears as a tormentor of Oliver Grayson. That bullying backfires spectacularly when Oliver, who possesses powers, yanks the young man's pants down, sending him and his teen companions scrambling away in humiliation.
