Red X - Teen Titans

Red X is a former "villain identity" which Robin temporarily used as part of an "undercover" operation. The identity was later assumed by a mysterious anti-hero whose real identity remains unknown. Red X's appearance is that of a person dressed in a completely black bodysuit that features a red 'X' (with the lower-right point elongated to stretch across the chest to the bottom of the right pectoral muscle) placed over the top of the left pectoral muscle, an ash-gray utility belt that features a silver/light gray buckle, a concealed teleportation button (shaped like a circle that features a red 'X', when revealed) in the middle of the buckle, a pair of vertical cylinder-shaped tubes on the back of each pouch and a thin, horizontal red stripe through the middle of the backside, a pair of serrated ash-gray gloves that feature black outlines around the "serrated" portions, a single, large red 'X' on the palms and the back of the hands, a pair of black boots that feature an ash-gray outline around the edge of the soles (which feature an ash-gray version of the skull on the mask, but with red eyes that lack a thick black outline, and a red 'X' below it, on the heel), a black cape that features an ash-gray interior, a black helmet-like mask that features a white skull (that lacks the lower jaw) and a red 'X' placed in the middle of the "face", with the lower-right point of the 'X' elongated to end beneath the right eye. The "eyes" of the mask are white reflective lenses that seem to act like Robin's mask (in terms of expressing emotions) and are thickly outlined in black. he claims to be a thief who is "just looking out for number one", stealing purely for his own gain. He is far less serious than Robin (to the point of commenting that Robin is "taking life way too seriously"), finding his battle with the Titans amusing and voicing numerous quips as he immobilizes them with his gadgets (though when push comes to shove, he too, can be serious). He possesses a very flippant sense of humor and enjoys making clever, mocking quips while fighting his enemies. Despite his somewhat laid back and unprofessional demeanor, Red X is shown to be very intelligent, being an expert at infiltrating and disarming various high-tech security systems with ease through the use of both his gadgets and personal skill-sets. He also flirted with Starfire on one occasion, indicating that he and Robin both share similar tastes when it comes to girls (though it might also be an example of his flippant sense of humor). He is also quite bold: while being confronted by Robin in the Zynothium vault, he threatened to "trip the power core" of his suit, and cause an explosion, despite the obvious fact that he would be disintegrated as well in the process.

Despite his selfishness and lack of loyalty, Red X has shown himself to be an honorable individual on many occasions, showing that he still possess his own form of moral code. Though loyal only to himself, Red X, as noted by Robin, is shown to lack the psychotic traits that are standard among many of the Titans’ enemies, as he utilizes only non-lethal measures to subdue crime fighters who get his way and has gone out of his way on at least one occasion to protect innocent lives, even when it is of no benefit to him. When revealing his motives to Robin, he claims to be "not such a bad guy, once [he] gets to know [him]". Despite primarily being a self-serving thief, he is not without noble qualities: he has never performed acts of true evil and, when the time comes for him to use his powers to prevent certain disasters, he tends to rise to the occasion. In his initial appearance, he ends up helping Robin against Professor Chang and freeing the rest of the Titans when the scientist planned to destroy Jump City, saving thousands of lives in doing so. Later, in "Revved Up", he enters the race for a briefcase containing Robin's most prized possession with the intention of selling it away to the highest bidder, but after Robin saves his life, he repays the favor by taking out the other villains participating in the race and disappears right afterwards, showing that he will repay debts to those who help him. Physically, Red X is an accomplished acrobat and martial arts fighter on par with Robin. In fact, their combat techniques and physical abilities are quite similar. Red X does not technically have any superpowers, but the equipment of the battlesuit combined with his exceptional combat skills more than make up for it. Most of them are derived from his suit's power belt which relies on a (possibly artificial) element called Zynothium. The suit is fitted with an invisibility or cloaking device, allowing for maximum stealth. A teleporter has been demonstrated on multiple occasions to make for clean getaways with limited distance. And on rare occasions, sneaking past top-of-the-line security. Red X's most famous means of offense is his arsenal of X-shaped weapons. The red 'X' insignias located on either side of the hands of his gloves are used to physically manifest X-shaped constructs that can have any conceivable function (see Gallery, below, for known effects), enabling him to near-effortlessly solve any problem he's confronted with.
