Due to the clashes with his father Luke grew closer to his mother Tanya who was more understanding of his rebellion. He now strives to be his own man, to make his own path in life. Because of this Luke will not easily accept handouts or gifts of charity. **History**: Born to Lucius and Tanya after the couple had graduated from college he was the first addition to the Fox lineage. His birth was a source of unbelievable joy for his parents and Lucius in particular who dreamed his son would follow in his footsteps. Already living in Wayne Manor, Lucius served as Bruce’s legal guardian. As Luke aged Lucius began to convey his wishes for his son to follow in his footsteps, to become another engineer under Bruce Wayne’s employ. But Lucius had other ideas, he wanted to start his own business, Luke wanted to design and forge his own ideas. Eventually Lucius sought to make a deal with Luke, asking him to at least finish college. True to his word Luke Fox finished his education at MIT College, while picking up martial arts skills he would employ in tournaments or as a masked vigilante later in his life. But Luke’s college life was far from uneventful, getting mixed up in gang territory Luke and his friend Russel were forced to defend themselves. After this night Luke realized the rush he gained from fighting and would fight with Batman later on against the same gang. Luke continued to fight as a masked crime fighter, even saving Bruce Wayne at a party. Unbeknownst to Luke however the Batman had his eyes on him and was the Dark Knight’s first choice for the Batwing mantle, however Bruce had no wish to put his friend Lucius’s son in danger, instead of Luke Fox receiving the mantle it was David Zavimbe who received the suit. With the resignation of David Batman approached Luke with the suit and the chance to be Batwing. After his recruitment Batman trained Luke for months before deploying him with a power suit, designed to safeguard his identity and grant him protection, the irony lies with the fact that Luke’s father had made the suit. His first Mission sent him to Africa where he faced Lady Marabunta whom he eventually defeated before disobeying Batman and shutting down the warlord Lion-Mane. Returning from a bumpy but successful mission Luke came back to Gotham without notifying his family and started his own business, Foxtecha. Of course as another business surfaced, one with such an obvious name, Lucius knew his son had returned. Seeking to make amends with his son he attempted to find him, simply to speak to him. But on his way to Luke his father Lucius had been kidnapped, teaming up with Batman once more the duo hunted down the Marabunta and struck a major blow to the gang while rescuing their common friend. Discovering his mother had been kidnapped Luke as Batwing teamed up with the legionary. Her abduction left Batwing emotional and brutal as he tore through Gotham’s underground searching for his mother. Discovering his friend Russel, who had turned to using Venom for power, had been the mastermind behind the kidnapping Luke vowed revenge. Making his way through an army of thugs and gangsters Luke eventually found his old friend Russel, now known as Menace. Engaging each other in a deadly one on one Luke was able to apprehend his friend but not without serious damage to his own power suit, damage that would take days to repair. Instead of a simple repair job Luke saw it as a chance to use his own genius and improved the suit far beyond its previous abilities. As for his mother she left the family as the kidnapping had scared her, she felt that being rich drew attention to her and so she divorced her husband Lucius. Feeling alone Lucius sought to make amends with his only remaining family, his son Luke. **Character Impressions**: Batman: I don't know who he is under the mask, but that doesn't matter.
