Jason Todd as Red Hood in Young Justice fanfiction often brings a darker and more complex element to the story. Writers might explore his journey from being Robin, his tragic death, and his rebirth as the Red Hood. His character can be used to show themes of redemption, vengeance, and the gray areas between heroism and villainy in the Young Justice universe.
His backstory. Jason Todd had a rough start as Robin and his death was a significant event. In Young Justice fanfiction, his return as Red Hood is full of mystery and angst. It makes readers wonder how he'll fit into the Young Justice team or if he'll be an antagonist.
Sure. Some focus on her origin story in a new and unique way. For example, they might explore how she became the Red Hood in a different setting or with different motives. Others might pair her up with other characters from the same universe in interesting relationships, whether it's a friendship or a more complex dynamic.
His motivation could be related to a difference in ideology. Red Hood has a more brutal approach to crime - fighting compared to Nightwing. He might think that Nightwing's methods are too soft and by kidnapping him, he wants to force Nightwing to see things his way.
It could signify dominance. Since Bruce weighs more, he might be seen as the more dominant character in their relationship, whether it's a friendship or a rivalry. For example, in group decisions, his presence might be more imposing because of his physical stature related to his weight.
It could be someone manipulating Red Hood. For instance, a powerful crime lord who has some dirt on Red Hood and forces him to kidnap Nightwing. So, in a sense, this crime lord would be the real villain.
Forgiveness is also a big theme. Bruce may have to forgive Jason for his actions, and vice versa. There's also the theme of trust. Since their relationship has been through so much turmoil, rebuilding trust is a central part of many stories. For example, in some fanfics, they start out not trusting each other at all, but as the story unfolds, they learn to trust again.
I'm not sure which specific novel 'Jason Red' is from. There could be many characters named Jason in various novels. Maybe it's a character from an indie or less - known work.
Tim Drake might discover Red Hood's identity by piecing together information from various encounters and observing patterns in their behavior and actions.
