Fictional character biography
[edit]Cody Driscoll is raised by his single mother in the Colorado community of Cosmos following his father's death when he was an infant.[2] He, Isaiah Crockett, Toni Monetti, and the Atom are kidnapped by the H'San Natall and discover that they are hybrids created by the Natall to act as sleeper agents.[3] The children form a new incarnation of the Teen Titans, which disbands after members Prysm and Fringe decide to remain in space with the Natall.[4]
In Infinite Crisis, Risk loses his right arm to Superboy-Prime, with Argent cauterizing the wound with her plasma energy.[5]
In One Year Later, Risk joins Titans East.[6] He later becomes a petty criminal and thrill-seeker, and kidnaps and dismembers Cyborg before the Titans stop him.[7]
In Sinestro Corps War, Risk loses his other arm to Superboy-Prime.[2] In the DC Rebirth continuity, Risk returns in Nightwing (vol. 4) #89, sporting a cybernetic arm before being killed by an unidentified member of the Rising.[8]
