Jason Todd (Earth 427-0)

Jason Todd is the son of Sandra Wu and the adopted son of Batman. He was trained by his adopted father in crime fighting, including investigation, strategy, and hand to hand combat. At age 15 he was killed by the Joker, but was resurrected six months later. After his resurrection he was trained by Talia Al Ghul and trainers picked by her, including the All-Caste, in firearms, sword fighting, poisons, demolitions, and torture. Prior to his death, he was the second Robin, and as an adult he took up the callsign Red Hood, founding the Red Hood Militia and the Outlaws.

Origin
In late -17, Sandra Wu met Willis Todd in a bar in Gotham city while Sandra was participating in a martial arts tournament there. The two had a one night stand which resulted in Sandra getting pregnant, and taking a break from the tournament scene. During her pregnancy, Sandra realized she didn't want to be a mother, and so returned to Gotham to give birth and seek out Willis.

In spring of -16, Willis Todd began dating Catherine, whom he would later marry. One day in August, Willis was approached by an old woman who told him he had a son who was a prince "made and not born" and would wear either a crown of gold, a crown of iron, or a crown of blood. Willis told her he didn't have children and shook her off, not hearing the rest of her foretelling. Upon his arrival home, he found that Sandra had left an infant, along with a note explaining that the child was his. Willis named the baby Faye, after his mother.

Jason realized he was trans as a small child, and told first Catherine's son from a previous relationship, Danny, and then their parents. Willis and Catherine were largely uninformed in matters of gender, but on the advice of local drag queens and trans women allowed him to transition socially and suggested he take the name Jason, after his grandfather. Remembering the prophecy given to him when Jason was born, Willis sought out the old woman, but was unable to find her.

Jason grew up in poverty in Crime Alley, one of the worst neighborhoods in Gotham. Willis initially worked in a warehouse for Two-Face, but due to Jason and Catherine both suffering illnesses, he began to do criminal work for Two-Face as well in order to pay their medical bills. Eventually, Catherine turned to heroin as a means of self medicating. When Jason was about ten, Willis was arrested in a bank robbery and sentenced to prison, leaving Danny, Jason and Catherine to support themselves. Danny and Jason dropped out of school and took up various jobs to help their mother, including drug running and thievery. Several months after Willis' imprisonment, Catherine overdosed on heroin, killing her and her unborn child. Danny and Jason were placed in the foster system, but soon ran away, preferring to live on the streets together rather than be separated in the foster system.

Nearly a year after Catherine's death, Danny was killed when he accidentally crossed into a rival gang's territory while making a delivery for the gang he worked for. Jason continued living on his own on the streets, eventually turning to sex work to feed himself.

On November 26th of -4, Jason met Batman while attempting to steal the tires off of the Batmobile. He was then taken by Batman to a school run by Jason's grandmother, Faye "Ma" Gunn, in hopes that she would reform him; unknown to Batman, however, Gunn used the school as a front for training young criminals. Jason stayed with Ma Gunn until he was invited along to a museum heist, where he tipped off Batman and helped to arrest Ma Gunn. Impressed by his ingenuity, Batman decided to foster him and train him as Robin.
