Debating Red X: Jason Todd or Another Robener?

I really want to say Jason Todd because of his badass demeanor and similar costume design to Red X. However, Beast Boy mentions him, and Dick Grayson is still Robin, making it impossible for Red X to be Jason Todd. Despite this, they share some traits, and Red X even calls Robin "Kid," suggesting a younger age or experience. My theory is that Red X could be a Robin who traveled back in time.

Theories and Thoughts

Let's dive into my theories about who Red X might be:

Jason Todd

Jason Todd and Red X share many similarities – both are skilled fighters and use the 'Red X' name. In the comics, Jason Todd is also known as 'Red X' before becoming 'Red Hood,' at a younger age than Dick Grayson. Despite these similarities, the show's creators might be hinting at his return by making Red X a time traveler. This theory not only aligns with the show's use of time travel but also fits the character's combat skills learning from Batman, possibly with other mentors. The time-travelled Jason Todd could have aged more, explaining Red X's apparent height and maturity.

Evil Clone or Alternate Version of Grayson

An evil clone of Robin or an alternate version of Grayson could be a possibility. In the comics, an evil Teen Titans version exists in an alternative universe. Red X could be an evil Robin in a different universe, fighting like Robin but with his own unique style. The comic books often explore alternate universes, offering a plausible explanation for Red X's presence. The show might be hinting at such a universe, giving characters like Beast Boy the clues.

Time Traveling Grayson

Might Red X be a time-traveling version of Nightwing? If so, this would explain why he is slightly older and taller than Robin and why he flirts with Starfire in a different manner than Robin. However, it is unclear if he is the same height as Nightwing. The show's use of time travel hints at such a possibility, and Red X's maturity could be due to time-travel aging.

Jason Todd

I know some might consider this theory controversial, but it's a possibility. If Jason Todd is Red X, it could mean there were two Robins at the same time. This scenario would create questions about why Jason was chosen to be a Robin in the first place, especially if Grayson left Gotham because of Jason's shadow. Grayson could have left because he was annoyed by Jason's presence, or perhaps Jason felt unsupported by Batman, leading him to travel to Jump City. The possibility of Jason being a better fighter than Grayson could also be a driving factor.

New or Unexpected Character

Red X could be a new or unexpected character who knew the secret to accessing the Red X suit and breaking in undetected. This character would need to be skilled in stealth and familiar with Batman's detective methods. Without any superpowers, this character would be a mystery, adding intrigue to the show's dynamic.

Conclusion

Red X remains a mystery, and the show's creators continue to provide hints and theories. Jason Todd, a time-traveling version of Nightwing, or an entirely new character could all be possibilities. The show's use of time travel and the character's unique fighting style make these theories plausible. Ultimately, the identity of Red X will be a surprise for viewers, adding an exciting element to the story.
