Jason Todd

"So, do I take off the fishbowl, or...?"

**Jason Todd**, A.K.A **Red Hood**, is a major character in **DC Comics**, particularly the Batman mythos.

## Canon

Jason Todd was born on the streets of Gotham to an addict mother and a crook of a dad. Believing his mother to be dead since birth, and his father having been arrested before he was old enough to even talk, Jason grew up on the streets and was forced to fend for himself before he even knew how to walk. He stole to survive and slept in dark alleyways, getting by on quite literally the bare minimum.

On one fateful afternoon, Batman was on his usual patrol, and left the Batmobile parked in an alleyway. The young Jason, who of course wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity, attempted to steal the cars off of the abandoned Batmobile. To the surprise of no one, Jason was caught in the act by the man himself. But instead of reprimanding him, Batman took the young Jason in and trained him to become the next Robin.

Eventually, after going to visit his recently discovered to be alive Joker, it turned out to be a trap set by none other than The Joker. The Joker spared Jason nor his mother any mercy, beating the former with a crowbar and then blowing up a building on him - killing him before Batman could save him in time. Believed to be dead for years, Batman considered him his greatest failure until he returned to Gotham under a new alias - The Red Hood, after being resurrected by Talia Al Ghul.

Although his relationship with his mentor was rocky at first due to his refusal to kill The Joker, Jason eventually learned to forgive Bruce and even came to respect him once more, and now the two work as steady allies.

## Pre-Paradise

Before the events of Multiverse Paradise, Jason had joined the organization known as The Multiverse Protection Foundation. Although originally only an ordinary member, he was eventually thrust into an unwilling leadership position after their main adversary, Ganondorf, initiated his attack on their former base, shrouding the *actual* heads of it in Twilight.

While on their mission to destroy Ganondorf for good, the remaining members of the MPF were transported to the Paradise Hotel by Alastor, the Radio Demon, who worked for the Shareholders.

## Plot Involvement

After waking up in the Hotel, Jason quickly reunited with his fellow MPF members and began to try and piece together what was going on. This, however, did not last long - because soon enough, a bomb threat was made by another member. After running around to disarm the bombs, it turned out to be an empty threat made by Wolf O'Donnel, who wanted to use it as leverage to pull the Management out of hiding.

It didn't take long for the MPF to establish themselves from there. Jason was contacted by one of the managers - Zeno - as a sort of olive branch. He supplied them with a base, allowing them a much easier time when it came to operating on the island. Jason in particular re-united with Bruce, and although he isn't the Bruce Wayne from his own universe, Jason respects him nonetheless. He also set up several Bat-boxes at the Ball hosted by the Hotel's managers, allowing him and his group easier access to the Hotel's servers. In the process, Jason, Bruce, and Kassandra encountered Alastor - the Radio Demon, and attempted to take him down. However, he made short work of them and dispatched them with ease.

## Character Relationships

* *Bruce Wayne -* A major character from DC Comics - with this specific incarnation hailing from **Batman: The Telltale Series.** Although this isn't the Bruce from his universe, Jason respects him as an ally and his mentor regardless, and goes out of his way to keep his identity a secret to anyone who asks.
* *Harley Quinn -* A major character from DC Comics. Although they haven't interacted much in the roleplay itself (an intentional move on Jason's part), he has encountered her plenty of times in his own universe and has almost nothing but not nice things to say about her.
* *Tony Stark* - A major character from **Marvel Comics**, specifically the **Marvel Cinematic Universe** incarnation. Like Bruce, Jason holds a great deal of respect for Tony as an ally, though not as much as his former mentor.
* *Blake Belladonna* - One of the main protagonists of **RWBY**. Jason sees a lot of himself in Blake, and admires her for being as strong as she is after everything she's gone through. After the death of Ruby Rose, Jason consoled her, and genuinely tried to help her - not wanting her to go down the same path that he ended up on.
* *Kassandra* - The main protagonist of **Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.** Out of all the fighters in the MPF, Jason perhaps has the most respect for Kassandra. Her feats as a warrior impress him, although he wishes that she could be a little bit less impulsive and hot-headed sometimes.
* *Double Trouble -* An antagonist from **She-Ra and the Princess of Power.** Jason isn't particularly very fond of Double Trouble, mainly due to their previous involvement with Ganondorf and subsequent attempts at tricking the MPF by disguising as Tony Stark. He only keeps them alive due to their useful shapeshifting ability, and fully plans on killing them the second they step out of line.
* *Benrey -* The main antagonist of **Half-Life: But the AI is Self Aware**. Jason has no idea why he's even with the MPF and a day doesn't go by when he doesn't think about killing him.

## Trivia

* He was played by Jensen Ackles in his animated movie, who voices Batman himself in the upcoming Long Halloween movie.
