Jason Todd (Earth 1)

Jason Todd is the Red Hood, a vigilante anti-hero who is a member of the Batfamily and the third incarnation of the Outsiders. Jason became the second Robin after Dick Grayson quit as Batman's sidekick. Jason was trained by Bruce and was his partner until his death at the hands of the Joker. He was resurrected by a bizarre cosmic event and later, returned to Gotham City as the Red Hood, using more lethal methods to fight crime. Years later, after the events of C-Day, he and Barbara Gordon stood up to lead the surviving heroes of Gotham.

Early Life
Jason Todd was raised in impoverished neighborhood of Park Row, also known as Crime Alley, by his parents Willis and Catherine Todd. While Catherine spent much of her time fueling her addiction to narcotics, Willis spent his working as a common criminal. When Jason was young, he and his parents went to a show at Haly's Circus where he was mesmerized by the Flying Graysons. However, later that night, Willis was undeservingly arrested by the GCPD for murder.

After Willis' incarceration at Blackgate, Catherine's addiction only got worse and worse, forcing Jason to hit the streets to support his mother. Jason was thrust out on his own when he discovered his mother dead of a heroin overdose. It would be several years until Jason would learn that his father's incarceration was planned and his mother's death was faked by the Joker.

Eventually, the young boy found his way to Madame Gunn's Boarding School for Wayward Boys, falling under the criminal tutelage of Ma Gunn. Jason, like the other boys there, was trained in many skills useful to common criminals as the home was a front for the Falcone Crime Family.

At one point in time, Jason engaged in a casual relationship with one of the other boys at Ma Gunn's, Jasper Hart.

Meeting Batman
After a failed robbery of Leslie Thompkins' Clinic, Jason stumbled upon the Batmobile parked in the alley where Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered. While attempting to steal the tires, Batman approached him and offered to get him some food.

Batman and Jason Todd shared a conversation in which Batman offered to take him under his wing. Jason claimed he needed to think about it but fate would push him into making the choice early. After a brief fight with Ma Gunn and the other boys, Jason fled the former friends. However, that night, Ma Gunn called on her connections with Carmine Falcone and Jason was attacked by the Red Hood Gang and the supervillain Firefly.

After the encounter with Firefly, Jason was taken into custody but was quickly met by Bruce Wayne who promptly revealed his identity to him. Now seeing the full picture, Jason agreed to Batman's proposition and he, within a few days, was adopted by Bruce Wayne.

Life (and Death) as Robin
Jason spent six months training with and learning from Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, Lucius Fox, Barbara Gordon, and Dick Grayson. Eventually, after finally earning the moniker of Robin, Jason joined Batman's side in fighting the Riddler on his first night out.

Over the next year, he fought many of Batman's rogues including Two-Face, Calendar Man, Scarecrow, Deathstroke, and even the Joker. For a brief time, while Dick Grayson nursed his wounds and explored his Nightwing persona, he even operated as the leader of the Teen Titans. It was during this time he met with some life-long allies like Starfire, Wonder Girl, and Speedy.

After returning to Gotham, Batman and Robin eventually fell into a trap set by the Joker. First, the Joker stole highly explosive materials from an A.R.G.U.S. black site and they were promptly betrayed by Catwoman. Then, they responded to a breakout at Arkham Asylum staged by the Joker in order to free Scarecrow. However, when they tracked down Dr. Crane, Robin lost his temper and nearly killed the man, getting himself grounded by Batman.

It was then when Jason discovered his mother, alive and well, which soon led him right into the Joker's trap. After being transported to Qurac, Jason was tortured in many, many ways for over six months. It was during that time when the Joker brainwashed the vigilante into thinking Batman was the cause of his torture and that the Dark Knight abandoned and replaced him.

Unfortunately, Batman arrived too late. A time bomb was detonated, leveling the building and killing Jason Todd. Batman held him in his arms in mourning before returning to Gotham with him for the burial.

Resurrection
Several months after Jason's death, a currently unknown cosmic event resulted in Jason springing back to life in his grave. In the canon of 2033, not much more has been revealed.

Pre-2033
In the year 2021, the Red Hood received a distress signal from Blüdhaven on the secure Batfamily frequency. However, by the time he arrived in Blüdhaven, it was too late. The Batfamily failed to act in time to save Dick Grayson's life. Nightwing died during the assault on the city

At some point after Dick's death, Jason Todd and Barbara Gordon got together and, nine months later, their son was born. They named him Richard in memory of their fallen friend.

The Metahuman Crisis
In 2027, during the Metahuman Crisis, Gotham City was one of the many cities to be assaulted in a worldwide coordinated attack. During the battle with the League of Assassins, Batman and Catwoman were murdered.

At some point after the crisis, Jason and Barbara adopted the orphaned daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, Helena Wayne, and founded the third incarnation of the Outsiders. At some time between 2027 and 2030, Jason was named CEO of Wayne Enterprises after a recommendation from Lucius Fox.

The Eye Campaign
Three years after the fall of the Justice League, Brother Eye interrupted a session of the United Nations, armed with a fighting force of androids. After a brief encounter, Brother Eye began their campaign to secure the world through whatever force necessary. Gotham City was one of the cities to fight back against the android armies. The Outsiders fought back with the GCPD as best as they could, but Brother Eye managed to gain a foothold in the city and promptly started forcefully improving the city infrastructure and hierarchy after abolishing the police department.

The Red Hood and the Outsiders remained active, working to undermine the machinations of Brother Eye. During this time, Jason and Barbara reluctantly began training their son and adoptive daughter with all the skills they would need. At some point, Jason proposed to Barbara who immediately accepted.
