Well hello again! This weeks post is about one of the most interesting topics in Teen Titans: Red X
Red X was an alter ego made by Robin to uncover the secrets hidden by Slade. He ultimately failed and locked the Red X suit away forever. Or so he thought. In the episode "X" we see that Red X appears again. This time although,It is not Robin. This is where we start off. Who is Red X?
Some of the viewers think that it is just an outer character. Most though (including myself) believe it to be Jason Todd. There are clues that point towards X being Todd.
Fighting Skills:
Although this is animation,it could be that the writers intended for Robin and X's fighting skills to be similar as displayed in the episode "X"' . Also,their motor skills as displayed in "Revved Up" are very similar. Could this be because they were trained by the same mentor? Hm.
Beastboy's Board:
In the episode "X" after the Titans battled Red X, they returned to their tower to discuss their encounter with him. The main question arises: Who is he? Beastboy brought out a board with his various hypothesis with who the culprit might be. On the board,there displayed briefly,can you see the name Jason Todd present with a mini representation of Todd.
Red X:Anti Hero
Robin and X have had various confrontations. In one Red X stated: "Not everybody likes to play the big villain, kid. I'm a thief. I'm not threatening your precious city, just looking out for number one." To which Robin replies: "So you're not psychotic,just selfish." The point to this is,X is neither a villain nor a hero. Anti hero more like it. Jason Todd,took up the persona as Red Hood. He to was an anti hero.
So there you have it,these are just a few reasons of why I believe that Red X is Jason Todd. Oh and one more thing. "Red X" "Red Hood",coincidence? I think not.
Thank you for reading! Adios!
