Drake Gibson (Earth-5171)

Drake Gibson was the son of famous businessman Morgan Gibson, CEO of Gibson Enterprises, as well as brother to the young Tony Gibson. When his father was mysteriously killed, Drake and Tony were adopted by the rising figurehead William Lawton, who secretly was the famous vigilante Ronin. During a party at the Manhattan Royal Hotel, Drake managed to discover the secret identity of his adoptive father, and immediately requested to take a part on his war against crime, so he could one day discover who murdered his father. Will unwillingly agreed, since his former partner, Nightwing, had gone to fight crime on his own. Donning a blue-shaped armor, Drake became Ronin's new partner, the Blue Beetle.
