―Larry's signiature words.[src]


Larry is an imp-like denizen from another dimension and an alternate counterpart of Robin, and thus, by extension, an ally of the Teen Titans.

Character history

nosyarG kciD (Dick Grayson spelled backwards) is a denizen of a universe completely separate from the Titans'. His right index finger has the power to bend reality, and he thus bent the rules of the multiverse to watch his counterpart Robin fighting crime, which endeared him so that Robin became kciD's number one idol. When Robin unwisely allowed himself to be taunted by Johnny Rancid and got his arm broken as a result, kciD decided to help out and popped up right inside Titans Tower and introduced himself to the Titans. Since they found his true name to be too much a tongue-twister, Beast Boy suggested to call him "Larry" for simplicity's sake, which kciD more than happily accepted.

Fracture

Larry trying to explain his origins

While well-meaning, Larry had a penchant of messing up things, which increased Robin's frustration over his defeat by Rancid all the more. After several attempts at healing Robin's arm went awry, Robin lost his temper, and in the resultant scuffle Larry broke his reality-bending finger. As a result, reality (literally) began to fracture at the point where he impacted, and the Tower's environs, including nearby Jump City, were changed into a landscape modeled after a child's artistic expressions. The energy surge cast Robin and Larry into the city, where they met with the rest of the Titans, who had been chasing Rancid, and under many difficulties they made it back to the Tower. Before Larry could reclaim his power, however, Rancid appeared on the scene and claimed it for himself, reshaping the city after his own imagination and using it as his personal wrecking ground. The other Titans found themselves outmatched by Rancid's new powers, but Robin and Larry went after him nevertheless. After succeeding in taunting Rancid to the point where he finally threw caution to the wind, they managed to defeat him, and with his finger fixed, Larry managed to turn everything back into normal.

After the fight, Larry bade farewell to his idol. As a parting gift, Robin decided to give Larry another chance to fix his arm, and Larry finally succeeded, although as a side effect Robin was temporarily cast into another dimension himself.

Teen Titans Go!

Larry made a reappearance in issue #39. Following the Titans' exploits in Tokyo, which ended with Robin and Starfire finally getting romantically hooked up, Larry, inspired by the moment's sentiment and an ill advice by Kitten, decided to play Cupid by actually stealing Eros' bow, love arrows and wings and firing the arrows left, right and center in order to make the other Titans just as happy as the aforementioned couple. This action, while well-intended, wreaked havoc among the Titans as people fell in love with the most impossible partners, including (in Speedy and Cheshire's case) their deadliest enemies, and also inadvertently enabled Andre le Blanc to escape captivity. Finally, Larry was apprehended by Wonder Girl and Eros and forced to amend his mistake.

Powers and abilities

Larry has the power to manipulate the very fabric of reality with his right index finger. The possibilities are theoretically unlimited, but the actual effectiveness of this power is severely limited by Larry's scatter-brainedness - as demonstrated when he attempted to heal Robin's arm. This power also enables him to travel between alternate dimensions at will.

Notes

  • Bat-Mite is an Imp from an another dimension who idolizes the heroes of the Batman's dimension and impersonated them, re-enacting their heroic feats and adventures. Bat-Mite's favorite hero was Batman, and thus the imp visited Batman on various occasions, often setting up strange events so that he could see his hero in action. Despite this, Bat-Mite was more of a nuisance than a supervillain, and often left his hero alone when he realized he had angered his idol again. He was the inspiration for Larry, only he idolizes Robin.
