Red HoodĀ is the latestĀ DCĀ character to join theĀ Pop In A Box ExclusivesĀ collection!
Jason ToddĀ had a troubled childhood, with an abusive father and a mother with a drug addiction and depression. His father served a prison sentence and didnāt return to the family, abandoning Todd to look after his mother, who eventually died of an overdose. This left him alone, fending for himself on the streets ofĀ Gotham.
One night, Todd came across the Batmobile parked inĀ Crime AlleyĀ and he couldnāt resist stealing the wheels. Fortunately for him,Ā BatmanĀ caught Todd in the act and decided his skills and anger could be channelled and used for the greater good - making him the secondĀ Robin. Todd was wilder and more aggressive than the previousĀ Boy Wonder, Dick Grayson, and was often put on inactive duty and could not patrol Gotham at Batmanās side.
One day, whilst on inactive duty, he discovered his mother was not his biological mother and travelled to the Middle East, without telling Batman, to find his biological mother. When he arrived, Todd realised that his real mother was being blackmailed and that all the major events in his life so far had been orchestrated by theĀ Joker. He and his mother were then brutally beaten with a crowbar by the Clown Prince of Crime and they were left to die. Gothamās Dark Knight doesnāt make it in time to save them from their fate and holds Toddās lifeless body in his arms.
Shortly after his death and funeral, Todd was resurrected byĀ Talia Al Ghul, the daughter ofĀ Raās Al Ghul, one of Batmanās enemies. He was revived in the legendaryĀ Lazarus PitĀ and taken to Ducra, the ancient instructor of the All-Castle, and trained. After his training was complete, Todd thought the only way to come to terms with his death was to get revenge on the Joker. Using an old alias of the Joker, in an attempt to get his attention, Todd returns to Gotham as the gun-totingĀ Red Hood.
