Group: Anti-Hero
CHARACTER BUILD-UP
General Appearance/Physical Appearance: Jason's body is muscular and toned in a comparable fashion to elite Olympic competitors. His skin while fair, is not quite pale in coloration, though he does posses many distinct scars on his back and torso from his death at the hands of the Joker. The young man can be easily identified by his ice-cold blue eyes, and black hair that's mixed with a slight wisp of grey.
When it comes to apparel, Jason's style is similar to that of the American Biker. He can frequently be seen wearing clothing such as leather jackets, jeans, cargo pants, tank tops, knee/elbow pads, and helmets. While this is his primary aesthetic, Bruce always taught him to dress in nearly any situation. Jason additionally has several formal suits and tuxedos.
The most important aspect of any vigilante is perhaps their costume, and Jason's Red Hood uniform is no exception. The outfit consists of a Kevlar armored bodysuit, made from parts of Nightwing's old outfit. On top of this, Jason also wears a utility belt, bomber jacket, and signature red helm made from urethane rubber.
Personality: Jason Todd was perhaps the most aggressive and headstrong Robin that Batman had ever trained. He was willing to take many risks while fighting crime, and tended to get caught up in the heat of the moment when fighting. Bruce often found himself trying to stop Jason from accidently killing their foes. Additionally, Jason proved to be far more street-wise than the other Robins, as he grew up in one of Gotham's poorest districts.
After being savagely beaten by the Joker, and murdered, Jason came back to life seeking vengeance. He believed that Batman had let him die, and chose to spare the Joker's life over his own. This caused the vigilante to become the anti-hero Red Hood, and to create a more permanent solution to crime. Jason believes that most criminals are irredeemable, and should be killed rather than rehabilitated. Obviously, this has lead to many clashes with his former mentor.

Major Skills/Abilities/Weapons/Powers:
- Master Martial Artist. (He has been trained in martial arts by Batman as a teenager, and was later trained by Lady Shiva, Bronze Tiger, and the All Caste.)
- Peak Human Condition. (He has trained his physical body to the peak of human achievement, and was given even further strength, speed, and durability due to his resurrecting from the Lazarus Pit. On top of this, he occasionally uses the drug 'venom' to enhance his strength in dire situations.)
- Master Marksman. (He was trained in batarang marksmanship by Batman, and later went on to study from marksman from around the world. Red Hood is generally considered to be the most accurate with ranged weapons in the entire batfamily. Only a few notches below Deadshot in terms of accuracy.
- Weapon Master. (Red Hood has in-depth knowledge of a vast array of weapons, and has used the following on occasion: pistols, rifles, grenades, tasers, rocket launchers, crowbars, and even katans. After his training with the All Caste, he even managed to fight competitively with Ra's Al Guul on one occasion.) |
- Vast Knowledge and Genius-Level Intellect. (Jason was educated by Bruce Wayne as a child and had a college GPA of 94.8. Before even meeting Bruce, the teenage robin was already an expert with mechanics. Additionally, he was trained in slight of hand, stealth, interrogation, detective work, and computers by Batman. He would later go on to learn from Tim Drake's hacking, making Red Hood an even greater computer expert.)
Equipment: Red Hood Costume (Kevlar Body armor, Utility Belt, Leather Jacket, Red Helmet), Two modified M1911 pistols, Shuriken, Flashbang Grenades, Smoke Bombs, a taser built into the red emblem of his armor, and occasionally a sniper rifle or other long gun from his storage.
Weaknesses:
- Anger Issues. (Red Hood has anger issues that are even worse than Batman's. if he is sent into a rage, then the accuracy of his attacks and quality of his martial arts form will plummet.)
- Estranged from Bat family. (Due to his desire to kill villains and criminals rather than imprison them, Jason find himself frequently being hunted by other members of the bat family. His plans to eliminate major villains are usually thwarted by Batman or Nightwing.)
- Limited Durability. (Red Hood's armor is quite durable and effective, but most high caliber weaponry will easily by-pass the Kevlar plates. Foes with enhanced physical strength will also find slashing through the armor to be effective as well.)
History: Jason Todd was born into an abusive household, with a father who physically abused him and his mother. He was forced to live on the streets as a child, doing illicit activities to scrape by. On one faithful night, a young Jason Todd would come across the legendary Batmobile. This was his chance to make some serious money, and he would take it, along with the Batmobile's tires. Of course, Batman would catch him in the act, but Jason had already removed the two front tires. As Bruce requested his tires back however, Jason would wack the vigilante in the stomach with a crowbar. This gave the child just enough time to escape, or so he thought...
Batman would track Jason all the way back to his run-down apartment, which he was living in alone at the time. As it so happened, the boy's father was a criminal, and wasn't around. After getting Jason out of some trouble with the mob, Bruce would take Jason home, where he would adopt him as a new Robin.
Jason would spend six months training to fill the mantle of Robin, learning martial arts, science, weapons, and much more. He would begin his stint as Robin shortly after this brief period of training, where he would get years of crime fighting experience under his belt. Eventually, Jason would use his skills as Robin to track down his mother, but unfortunately the Joker would get to her first. It was all an elaborate set-up by the clown prince of crime.
The young Robin and his Mother would be tied up by the joker, and Jason would be brutally beaten with a crowbar for what seemed to be an hour strait. When the Joker was done having his fun, he would set off a bomb that would kill both Jason and his mother. Batman would arrive too late to save his sidekick...
After years of being dead, Jason would find himself suddenly awake, as if life had been punched into his body (which it was). The former robin would wander the streets, only to be discovered by Talia Al Guul and brought to the Lazarus pit soon after. The magical water would restire Jason's mind, and enhance his physical body. Once his mind was restored, Jason would learn that the Joker was still alive. Batman hadn't avenged his death. This would lead to Jason scheming to get revenge against both Batman, and the Joker.
He would make a deal with the villain Hush to assist in killing Batman, but this attempt would fail as Jason couldn't bring himself to do it at the end of the day. This hesitation would lead to his defeat, after which Talia would award him with his signature red helmet. After these events, Jason would officially become the Red Hood, and began a crusade against crime like none other. He would take the position of a up-and-coming crime boss by killing all the lieutenants of the local drug cartels. He used this new position to eventually kill the current Black Mask, and even kidnap the Joker. He would then lead Batman directly to him in a dramatic stand-off, where he would question the dark knight's methods.
The stand off would end with Jason being knocked unconscious by a batarang. Batman won, but everyone still lost...
Some time later, Jason would leave Gotham to let things cool off. He would team up with Arsenal and Starfire, creating his own anti-hero team called 'the outlaws', and would go on a crusade against terrorists, criminals, and other super villains. He would even go on to train with a group known as the All Castle and save the world during this time... Now however, Starfire has returned home, and Arsenal has gone back to freelance. Red Hood returns to Gotham more skilled than ever before, to save it from crime once and for all.
