Post-Crisis
Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. Timothy Fox
For her own ends, Talia al Ghul came to fund three young men that included Timothy Fox who came to be the new Terrible Trio. She equipped them with battlesuits and advanced technology, telling them to make a splash in Gotham City. Just like the original version, their gimmicks were based on land, sea and air. Batman responded to a robbery committed after a drilling machine burst through Gotham’s streets. He was confronted by the brand new Terrible Trio. They were new to the supervillain game, and were surprised at the fight Batman gave them, so they decided to flee. Bruce Wayne was scheduled to meet with Lucius about business, but found him arguing with his son. Tim had fallen in with another rough crowd Lucius disapproved of and wasn’t studying for his college finals. Bruce commiserated with Lucius, who told him how hard it was to be a single father. Batman and Alfred Pennyworth used the Batcomputer for research and learned that the original Terrible Trio were all either in jail or dead. Batman responded when the new Trio hijacked the Gotham Marine Society Charity Ball. The Trio’s amateurish ways soon lost the fight, but Shark called in his submersible to ram the charity ball boat, telling Batman he could fight them or keep the ship from sinking. Batman used the Bat-Sub to patch up the hole with foam. He met with commissioner Gordon and gave him a button to push when the GCPD had extricated his sub from the charity ship so it could return to the Batcave. Lucius told Bruce he suspected Tim was one of the Terrible Trio, and Bruce suspected they’d target the Wayne Foundation Annual Skyball atop the Wayne Foundation. When they tried to rob the ball Batman released a smoke bomb and activated steel shutters that trapped the Trio at the ball. Batman fended them off, and when Fox threatened to use a detonator to blow up the ball Lucius knocked him out with a dinner plate and Alfred caught the detonator. Lucius was in despair when they were unmasked and he learned Tim Fox was the Vulture. He pleaded with Tim, asking him what he’d done wrong, saying he’d given him everything in life, and Tim said he had everything he wanted except attention. (DC Retroactive: Batman-The '70s v1 #1)
