Robin in Red

Life, Identity

Theo Chan is walking around the Folk Festival in downtown Lowell with his brother Preston when suddenly an angry man who calls himself the "Shocker" begins attacking the crowd, telling them to bring him "Spider-Man". Running away, he looks back to notice Preston has turned into Spider-Man and fights the Shocker, while he watches from a nearby alleyway. With some help from him, Preston is able to subdue the Shocker. Suddenly, another person calling himself Gizmo appears and ambushes him. A few moments later, Theo finds himself in possession of the Red Robin essence crystal and he chooses to bond with it in order to even the odds for Preston. Gizmo ditches Shocker, leaving him to be defeated by the two heroes. This is the first crystal related incident where the witnesses' memories are not wiped by an incursion. These two heroes make headlines as news and social media start to theorize where they came from.
