Jason Todd

Despite Jason's desire for peace, Talia murdered the leader of the Red Hood Gang revival and, when she returned to her father Ra's al Ghul, expressed interested in keeping an eye on Jason Todd in the future. Jason's step-mother Catherine ultimately overdosed on drugs provided by a 'friend', Robby. Eventually, tired of what Robby's drugs were doing to his mother, the young Jason pushed Robby down a flight of stairs in their apartment building. In a battered apartment, Jason's mother gives him some money and tells him to buy some bread before her friend Robby arrives. Jason complains that Robby is a drug dealer, but Catherine insists he is helping her. Jason passes Robby on the stairs and swears at him, only for Robby to pin him to a wall and threaten him with a knife, telling him that if he wants to talk tough, he needs to be able to back it up. He leaves him upset in the corridor as he goes in to give Catherine her "medicine". Robby finally leaves Catherine's apartment, only to find Jason sitting outside, having been looked out for the duration of their session. Robby laughs at him, saying he had decided to take some of his "medicine" too, and tells him his mother may be out for longer than normal. As he walks down the stairs, Jason silently moves behind him and pushes him, killing him. When Jason was 12 (and 10 months), he made an attempt to steal the tires off the Batmobile, managing to get one off before being discovered by Batman. Expecting to be beaten for his crime, Jason was surprised to be offered food instead. He and Batman talked while eating, and Batman told him that sometimes if you gave people a chance, they might surprise you. Jason would take these words to heart, even years later. Batman attempted to help Jason by getting him settled in Ma Gunn's School for Wayward Boys, not knowing that the establishment was a front for training the children to be criminals. When Jason realized Ma Gunn was conducting illegal activities with the youngsters at her "sc

History Early Life Jason Todd is the son of an Dr. Sheila Haywood and Willis Todd. However, he was raised believing that his mother was Catherine Todd. Jason had a troubled childhood due to his parents constantly arguing; his mother suffered from depression and drug addiction, and his father had been "showing him the ropes of thievery and conning" at a young age, which led him into trouble. He frequented the Lucius Fox Community Center, where he befriended Gabby Christiansen, a fellow "street kid" who persisted in helping him despite his reflexive standoffishness. He protected her from bullies and remembered her kindness fondly in adulthood. Eventually, Jason's father Willis was arrested and sentenced to prison after committing a crime for the Penguin, where he died. Jason wouldn't know until many years later that his father had died in prison. A young Jason was left to care for his drug-addicted mother. Jason Todd, at the time struggling to support his drug-addicted mother in Gotham's Park Row, fought for survival as Gotham went feral. When Jason's best friend Chris gave him the mask of a deceased Red Hood Gang member to join in the gang's revival and become who he wanted to be, Jason agreed, giving himself the name "Red Hood Four". On the night of the gang's revival, Jason, wanting to be a hero, tried to stop a fight between some gang members and a mysterious woman named Talia al Ghul, who was investigating the Untitled. Jason earned Talia's respect and managed to impress her further by perfectly performing a fighting move invented by the All-Caste that even she couldn't master.

Jason Todd is Red Hood, a vigilante anti-hero who is a member of the Batman Family and the Outlaws. Jason became the second Robin after Dick Grayson became Nightwing and Batman was in need of a new sidekick. Jason was trained by Bruce, and was his ward and partner until his death at the hands of the Joker. He was resurrected and healed by Talia al Ghul using the Lazarus Pit, and then trained by both the League of Assassins and the All-Caste. He eventually returned to Gotham City under the new alias Red Hood, using more lethal methods to fight crime.
