History
Origin
On Earth-3's Gotham City, the man who would become the villainous Joker went on to become a married man, chemical engineer for Ace Chemical Plant, and aspiring comedian. After the tragic deaths of his wife and unborn child, he became a costumed vigilante called the Red Hood. Despite the obvious, the Red Hood established his secret headquarters in the Ace Chemical Plant. He became a constant enemy of Owlman and the Injustice Syndicate. The Syndicate eventually discovered the Hood's hideout and tried to kill him once and for all. Owlman tossed the Red Hood into a vat of chemicals and acids.
Batman and Red Hood.
Red Hood escaped death but discovered he was horribly disfigured. His skin was bleached white and his mouth was warped into a permanent smile. The Red Hood was already experienced with tragedy and didn't go insane with grief at this development. Instead, he was persuaded to make a final stand against the Injustice Syndicate. Along with eight allies, Hood fought the Syndicate atop the Eyrie of Evil and failed. Red Hood managed to escape again and, in desperation, resolved to tap the multiverse and search for allies. The Syndicate hunted him down and stole his technology, a phase oscillator.
Once again, the Red Hood escaped via a trap door and later attacked the Syndicate when they broke into a nuclear plant to steal a rare isotope. Batman, disguised as Owlman, revealed himself to Red Hood and quickly outfitted him with a Bat Communicator. While being tortured by Silver Cyclone, Red Hood attempted to guide Batman right to him and was soon freed by Batman as well as his members of the Justice Underground.
After Silver Cyclone reveals his master plan, he throws a spade, shutting Cyclone down for good and he and Batman managed to send the bomb somewhere else.
In the aftermath, Red Hood found himself the leader of a successful rebellion and herald to a new age of good.
Powers and Abilities
As with his main counterpart, Red Hood has no powers. Instead, Red Hood is a powerful combatant, able to hold his own against the Injustice Syndicate before being out numbered. Additionally, Red Hood is an expert marksman with his Red Spade throwing stars and can engineer chemicals that he uses in his fight against crime.
