Secret Origins : Rocket Dec 13, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to the Watchtower and welcome also to our ninth instalment of "Secret Origins". In this series we will be diving into the history of the main characters in Young Justice, heroes, supporting cast, and even the villains.

Today we wrap up our coverage of the core Season 1 Team members by covering the Dakota City hero and key player in the Season 1 finale, Rocket. Many of the Dakota City heroes have a much less extensive history than other DC heroes, so we will also be covering the history of her mentor, Icon.
