    History

    Created by T.O. Morrow, Red Tornado was designed as an agent of evil. But T.O. Morrow's design of Red Tornado to be "almost human" was done so well that Red Tornado willed himself to fight for humanity alongside Earth's heroes. With the desire to find his own humanity, Red Tornado became a noble soldier and succeeded in learning how to care, and love. He assumed the human guise of John Smith and married Kathy Sutton and adopted her daughter Traya.

    He joined the Justice League of America and gave his life up to save a great number of people. He was rebuilt, but was unable to love, leaving Kathy and Traya yet again. When he discovered he could not love anymore he exiled himself to the secret JLA headquarters in Happy Harbor, Rhode Island and remained there for some time inanimate. During this time he fell in a sort of dolldrum and literally stood there feeling sorry for himself. Robin, Superboy, and Impulse arrived at the cave and decided to form a new superhero team, Young Justice.

    Red Tornado finally made his presence known to the three and decided to attempt to regain his humanity one step at a time, by first becoming the boys' adult supervisor for the team. He hopes to teach the team the how to in being a hero and at the same time re-enter society and perhaps even the hearts of those he loved once.
