** Shawn, particularly when she's flirting with Dick, as well as the rest of the Run-Offs, especially [[ShrinkingViolet Mouse]].



* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Raptor has betrayed nearly every partner or employer he's worked with.

to:

* CasualKink: Shawn, who mentions off-handedly she likes to be spanked when disappointed that Dick was leaving their date to go 'spank' crime. Dick is all for it when he comes back.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Raptor has betrayed nearly every partner or employer he's worked with. Though he betrays Dick, he shows remorse for it having to happen and appears to legitimately want to build a lasting working relationship with him.



** He's also one to Batman, being a CrazyPrepared animal-themed costumed BadassNormal, with a strict moral code, and acts as a mentor to Dick. However, his code differs from Batman's, and instead of being a rich man who uses his wealth to fight street crime, Raptor is from a poor background and fights the one-percent.



* LikeASonToMe: Implied by Raptor, who's desire to become Dick's EvilMentor takes on new light once we learn [[spoiler:that he used to be in-love with Dick's mother and would have taken him under his wing had Bruce not adopted him]]. While he still fights Dick, it shows his PetTheDog moments and admiration towards him is genuine.



* UnresolvedSexualTension: There's considerable ShipTease between Dick and Barbara. [[ShipSinking It's temporarily sunk]], however.

to:

* UnresolvedSexualTension: There's considerable ShipTease between Dick StraightGay: Stallion of the Run-Offs, who after lashing out at Dick, admits his HairTriggerTemper is born from his troubled acceptance of his sexuality and Barbara. [[ShipSinking It's temporarily sunk]], however.he's trying to work on accepting himself instead of taking it out on people.


Added DiffLines:

* TheResenter: Raptor towards Bruce Wayne, due to him being a one-percenter and for [[spoiler:adopting Dick and raising him in wealth, away from Dick's culture with the Romani circus, when Raptor planned to take care of him himself.]]
