Line 39:
** Practically every Robin ever.
*** Dick Grayson's parents (and sometimes a sibling, depending on the version) fall to their death. The person that takes him in? A millionaire he'd never met before. This trope is recognized to such an extent in-universe that when someone ''did'' show up claiming to be one of Dick's relatives, everyone immediately disbelieved him outright.
*** A real uncle did turn up and successfully sue for custody fairly early in the comics'
*** This troper has always preferred to believe Dick has relatives through his mother who, when they eventually found out she'd died in an accident halfway across the country and little Dickie-boy had been adopted by a millionaire, resolved to keep quiet so the law didn't turn around and deprive the kid of such a fantastic opportunity.
**** He does have an uncle in the [[Recursive Adaptation|comic]] based on ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]''. The problem is that he's paralyzed due to the "accident" that killed Dick's parents, aunt, and cousin, and can't take care of him. Dick mentions in the same flashback that both of his grandfathers died before he was born.
