Note: The Titans and Brotherhood know most of this information about Red X, save for what is marked unknown.

Codename: Red X
Full Name: Unknown
Age: Unknown
Birthday: Unknown
Ethnicity: Unknown

Appearance
Height: 5'10
Weight: 175lbs
Eye Color: Unknown
Hair Color/Style: Unknown
Body Type/Build: Athletic
Scars/Tattoos/Piercings: Unknown
Super Suit: Red X has worn the same signature suit over the years. It is primarily a black jumpsuit with a gray belt, torn up black cape, and gray gauntlets. His chest is adorned with a stylized and off center red "X." His face is hidden behind a skull-like mask with a red "X" adorning his forehead with a point extending across his right eye-slit. His eyes are obscured by this mask as well with a white tint similar to Nightwing's mask.
Regular Clothes: N/A / Unknown

Personality: X is very often looking out only for himself. He is selfish and greedy, but he still has a sense of honor and knows when it's time to drop the act and fight in the interest of the greater good, even if it might be to his own detriment. He takes very little seriously, even life-threatening combat situations. He stops at nothing to taunt those opposed to and allied with him, which is why he usually works alone or on his own terms.

Powers
Origin: Thievery and training.
Details:

The highlight of X's career began once he stole Nightwing's (then Robin) "Red X" suit which he had used to get close to Slade. The suit and X's prior martial arts training are the primary vehicles behind how Red X has been able to successfully be Nightwing's close equal over the years and more than a match for all of the founders and many other Titans. His suit is specifically designed to counter each founder whom isn't Nightwing. X has also shown himself more than capable of upgrading and maintaining the suit over the years, including being able to find a replacement for his xenothium-powered utility belt despite Nightwing taking it from him years ago.

Red X's primary gadgets can be withdrawn from his belt or simply fired/deployed from his gauntlets, and consist of variants of the following:

  • Utility belt that hosts the suit's power supply of xenothium and the home of various tools.
  • Voice synthesizer that conceals X's identity further. It distorts his voice and makes it sound cool.
  • Short-range teleporter with a very short delay between uses that can do anything from dodge attacks, get into easily accessible rooms more quickly, and completely escape from combat situations.
  • Cloaking device, able to evade most conventional methods of detection save for, perhaps, concerted efforts to find him. It is known that specifically tracking for xenothium or scanning specifically in the EM spectrum can spot him with ease.
  • X-shaped shurikens that can be as variable as Nightwing's own arsenal, which can include grappling hooks, explosives, simple metal weapons, etc.
  • X-shaped wrist blades that can expand and retract on demand that seem to be able to cut through most metals with ease.
  • Adhesive goop which can be place and fired off. It is capable of restraining people or bringing objects closer to him.
  • Constrictive restraints taking the form of red X's that act as very strong tape.
  • Devices taking the form of red X's that discharge electricity and can temporarily stun or incapacitate most humans.
  • Energy disruptors that temporarily open up energy shield systems. This takes the form of a massive X shaped opening. A similar device can also be applied to locked doors and control panels and tend to open them right up.
  • Deployable timed explosive charges in the shape of thin, glowing red X's. These are more than capable of wrecking most conventional vehicles.
  • Gauntlets contain energy projectors similar to particle weapons. When pointed at the same target, they are capable of stunning even the most durable superhumans or aliens and cause massive damage to normal humans. These can be activated in close combat independently of one another to stun normal humans.
  • Another device is capable of extending across a wide area and creating X-shaped fissures along normal surfaces to allow for forced, non-explosive entry through buildings and to create makeshift pitfalls. The damage is not reversed once caused, unlike the shield-breaker.
  • His suit is capable of absorbing punishment from hard falls, allowing him to base jump from great heights.
  • The suit itself is controlled by facial recognition and retinal movement. This allows X to deploy many of his tools without delay in the middle of combat.
Red X also has other, less standard equipment and vehicles at his disposal, such as:
  • Former soviet Typhoon-class submarine with a skeleton crew of about 50 men. They are essentially pirates. This submarine is Red X's primary base and is known as Red Thunder. The submarine consists of most of Red X's arsenal, aside from some bare essentials kept in a handful of safe houses around the world. It does not career nuclear munitions, but does boast nuclear propulsion.
  • Xenothium-powered rocket-pack that is capable of working in atmosphere and in vacuum. This draws directly from his suit's fuel supply and can drain it fairly quickly. Used primarily for shock value and style.
  • Black motorcycle with his "logo" on the front. Used as land-based transportation.


Red X also has eyes, ears, and contacts around the world. There is very little about the Teen Titans or Brotherhood of Evil that he does not know, which is primarily their higher command structures that he is unable to safely infiltrate or bribe people to divulge information about. He is willing to give out such information for the right price. He is a businessman after all.

Weaknesses:

Red X is ultimately reliant on a rare and dangerous chemical compound known as xenothium. Without the compound, the suit and most of the gadgets it utilizes it completely useless. On top of that, X is still ultimately a normal human. If he's hit, it hurts. He can be killed. He can be maimed. He can be contained.

Also noteworthy is Red X's greed. To have access to information, large sums of money, additional abilities, or exotic resources is the biggest motivation for him to do just about anything.

Other Abilities:

As stated, Red X has extensive martial arts training, comparable to that of Nightwing. He can subdue and fight to kill, often vying for the latter with is why many of his foes may describe his fighting style as aggressive or ruthless. He also has intimate knowledge of how his suit functions and an understanding of basic mechanics and electronics, so he is able to maintain and repair it.

Father’s Name: Unknown
Mother’s Name: Unknown
Siblings: Unknown
Other Important Relatives: Unknown

History:

Red X has spent years fighting both the founders of the Teen Titans, other Titans, the Brotherhood, and run of the mill vigilantes and bad guys of all stripes. Each time he is encountered, he seems to always have an out or some ability not accounted for. Most recently he has acquired a Typhoon-class submarine and, before the Brotherhood's takeover of most of the world, he was working with his small crew as a pirate and mercenary, robbing small governments around the world and destroying military bases and ships around the world.

After the brotherhood took over, he's gone dark. Red Thunder has not been seen for a long time now. Many suspect Red X was destroyed in the initial purge of the Titans, though that's far from the case. X has been planning and waiting for a time to reveal his hand. He has something up his sleeve now, some masterful plan. Whether or not he's going to stick to it or just make it up as he goes along now remains to be seen.

Misc.
