BFF's for the Boys Wonder. These two would qualify as the best friends of the Robins of parallel planets. Right from the start, when Robin and Kid Flash teamed up with their fellow Teen Titans to tackle the mind-controlled Justice League, this pair were fast friends. And just like them, the golden-age Robin had found fellowship with Johnny Thunder, who although a few eyes older than him was always young at heart. From their cases alongside one another on the All-Star Squadron to the time Robin gained membership into Johnny's Justice Society, these two spent time together as had the silver age Robin and Wally "Kid Flash" West, both as costumed crusaders and as casual civilians... be it on a road trip together or a nice at the theatre. And whereas Robin and Kid-Flash could commisserate about how to step out of their mentor's shadows and make names for themselves, Robin and Johnny Thunder could likewise commisserate on how to make their teammates take them seriously. Whereas on Earth-One, neither Titan would have felt to comfortable with that world's criminal Johnny Thunder, on Earth-Two the two Socialites would have felt fine with Wally's twin on their world, Johnny Quick.
