Red Hood
Red Hood, whose real name is Jason
Todd, is a character from DC Comics. He
was originally the second person to take
on the mantle of Robin, Batman’s sidekick.
However, after being violently killed by the
Joker, Todd was revived via Ra’s al Ghul’s
Lazarus Pit and subsequently turned into
a more brutal and vicious, but still well-
meaning crimefighter.
As the Red Hood, Jason Todd is a vigilante
anti-hero who fights to protect Gotham
City with his dual-pistols and quite a bit of
pent-up rage. He is known for his
exceptional martial arts skills, combat
strategy, and agility. He also uses
customized weapons to fight crime.
Jason Todd parted ways with Batman over
their vastly different approaches to
crimefighting, eventually founding his own
team, the Outlaws. Traumatized by his
own violent end, Jason returned to the
world unhinged and bent on revenge. Not
only for himself, but for everyone caught
in the crossfire of the endless catch-and-
release cycle of Gotham City’s super-
villain underworld.
Over time, Jason learned to deal with his
rage in a way that didn’t rack up a body
count and he made peace with Batman
and his fellow superheroes. But the bad
blood between him and his adoptive
family is ever ready to paint their city red
once more.
