    Red X

    Character » Red X appears in 26 issues.

    A mysterious character from the "Teen Titans" animated TV show, Red X was originally an alternate identity for Robin but someone later stole the name and costume. His motives are unknown, but are more often self-serving than altruistic. He made an appearance in the show's comic book spin-off, Teen Titans Go! Red X uses a variety of skill and gadgets to defeat anyone who stands in his way. The identity of Red X has never been revealed.

    Red X needs to be mainstreamed in DC comics

    Thanks to Red X on myspace, I've been thinking more about this character. They need to bring Red X into mainstream DC. Here's Red X's myspace fan page: http://myspace.com/iloveredx

    welcome to the vine

    don't think they should, I think that his introduction in the teen titans animated series was to give Jason Todd an apperance in other media.

    But I may be wrong

    Well, they never did reveal his true identity. Could still be someone else.

    Yo ho, I'd be that Red X that Nyxy mentioned. Thanks for the shout out, Nyx.

    Red X was introduced as a mystery figure. Jason Todd was only introduced as a theory, along with... Robin's clone, long lost brother, inter-dimensional imp, Robin after time traveling, or a bionic monkey infused with Robin's DNA. So if Jason Todd is a valid theory, so is the bionic monkey. And, yeah yeah, Jason Todd was stealing the Batmobile's tires, but Red X was supposed to be a mystery. That way he wouldn't be a name or identity, he'd just be a living embodiment of Robin's mistake.

    Yea bring him in! I can't think of who he could really be that was be shocking. Maybe...Ted Kord! Yea wouldn't that shock you. Had Jason been introduced as Red X instead of Red Hood it'd all be good and he could still become Red Robin.

    Hmm, maybe it's Batgirl, doing the whole Echo/Ronin thing. :D What? Everyone else is spitting out random ideas. But I do see an obsession with red here...hmm. Any other theories? What other teen-ish master thieves do we know of? I'm drawing a blank, but I'm more of a Marvel comics gal.

    Red X was cool. Speaking of Red X, two other DC animation characters need their own comic books...

    Red Hood and Red X, sounds good. But if Jason is Red Hood, who would be Red X?

    That would be great. Red X as Jason's sidekick could be cool. But Jason as Red X would get him new fans, and m ake him  m ore form idable to Dick Grayson.

    Hmmm.
     
    Jason = Red Hood
    Tim = Red Robin
    Dick = Nightwing
    Bruce = Batman
    Damian = Robin
     
    Maybe Tim could become Red X rather than keeping that stupid Red Robin name.

      Tim is cool.  Red Robin is bringing him to new heights.  The costume.. he needs a new one.  It's so unoriginal...  Ignore my avatar though, it contradicts my post.

    Yeah, I know. He's his own person now, I understand why he became Red Robin (he saw himself as the Robin who failed) but when Bruce comes back, he should don something new.

    @FadeToBlackBolt:  Probably won't happen though.  Unless they rename the series, but knowing DC that's not very likely.  At least not for 50 or so more issues.

    Red X would have been a better identity than Red Robin in my opinion.

    OR! He could become Robin again, and Damian could become Red X, and serve as Nightwing's partner. 
     
    Batman and Robin, and Nightwing and Red X lol. Either way, please no more Red Robin!

    @Nobody:  I agree.
     
    @FadeToBlackBolt:  With how the writers now are trying to pass Damian off as the next Batman in the future that wouldn't happen =[.  Really though, Tim should start his own legacy, not fall into another one like Red Robin.
