Known Powers:

Raccoon is a mutant with enhanced strength and stamina. He can create patches of darkness and has enhanced sight capabilities. VIPER has also trained Raccoon to be a skilled hand to hand combatant who likes to stalk his prey before pouncing.

Notes:

Robin was born in the United States to a wealthy family. His parents loved their son dearly, but were ashamed of his mutation, i.e. the raccoon tail. They hid the boy from the outside world and Robin grew up in virtual isolation. This was more than he could bear and Robin ran away from home when he was in his mid-teens.

The young Raccoon found the outside world to be a wondrous place. He was never ashamed of his tail, rather he was aggressively proud of it. Robin was always a bit of a show off and has taken this to its extremes out in public.

Eventually Raccoon fell in with VIPER and they trained him to make the utmost of his abilities. Robin had found a place that accepted him for what he was and was content. Raccoon worked as a VIPER Staff Villain for several years.

That all changed on one fateful day. VIPER had been targeting PSI bases in their area and Raccoon had been instrumental in this campaign. A PSI operative had been dispatched to deal with Raccoon. Unexpectedly, Raccoon found himself corner by Panda.

It was love at first sight for Raccoon. Here was a beautiful woman who an odd mutation much like his own. Instead of fighting, they talked. VIPER Agents showed up and attempted to kill Panda, but Raccoon rushed to his love's defense. He killed several of the VIPER agents in combat while allowing Panda to escape. Raccoon caught up with Panda shortly afterwards and the two were married a few months later.

Since that time, they both have been hunted by their former employers: PSI and VIPER. Both organizations nearly captured the two while in Detroit, but they managed to escape. The pair has lived life on the run since that time hiring out their services as mercenaries.

Years later, both were captured by GENOCIDE as part of their Arena experiment. In this mentally created landscape they met many other mutants such as Spectrum, Icicle, Shadow Queen, Mind Slayer, Void, and Black Mamba. Together they managed to escape and Panda and Raccoon slipped off unnoticed.

The duo participated in the Great Supervillain Contest, but were not serious contenders. They participated in several attacks on various heroes and helped first defend and then later attack the Crimson Claw's lair.

Weary after these recent adventures, the couple went to Sanctuary to relax. There they were contacted by Howler to join up with her on a quest to locate ancient artifacts. The couple agreed and they signed on with Howler. During the trip, they were betrayed by Howler's employers and had genetic samples removed from their bodies. They also came into conflict with Tigress as well.

While on Azkan's island, the group was betrayed by Daigon who had been in the employ of Malachite all along. The two went along with this for a time, but then fled when the Young Champions arrived on the scene. The couple stole the Jade Princess and sailed away. A tracking device was found by Raccoon and tossed overboard. Later, a stash of money was liberated from a safe. The immediate future looks quite cheery for the mutant husband and wife.

Due his upbringing, Raccoon tends to be overprotective of Panda. Their years together on the run have made them a highly effective combat team.

Raccoon was originally created by Stacy Thain and upgraded to 4th Edition by Scott Bennie. He was modified for our campaign by Spectrum.
