Red Tornado

Red Tornado is a member of the Justice League. He is a robot and is capable of generating wind.

Personality
As a robot, Red Tornado can come across as emotionally distant - Robin in particular referred to him as "heartless", leading Tornado to reply that he does have a heart, which is made of "carbon-steel alloy" (despite steel itself being an alloy of carbon and iron). Nevertheless, Red Tornado believes that the members of Young Justice should be permitted to fight their own battles (according to the young heroes themselves, this is particularly in contrast to their other mentors, who would fix things themselves). Red Tornado volunteered to be the caretaker of Young Justice, but his reasons for doing so are not known.

Characteristics
Red Tornado takes the appearance of a tall red android with no ears or nose. His mouth and eye sockets are black giving him the appearance of an emotionless robot. He has a yellow T symbol on his chest, and a yellow arrow on his forehead. He also wears a blue cape.

Powers
Red Tornado has the ability to summon tornadoes and fly. Being a robot, and thus inorganic, he is immune from Martian telepathy.

History
The exact history and origins of Red Tornado have not yet been revealed, however it is believed that he may be associated with Doctor T.O. Morrow. A robotic entity able to control powerful winds, Red Tornado eventually became a member of the Justice League. When the Justice League approved the idea of Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash and Superboy forming a covert operative team that worked for the Justice League, he volunteered as the adult caretaker for the young team.

For the most part, the Red Tornado's work with Young Justice has been rather "hands off". Rather than force his leadership upon the team and control them, he instead allows them to work on their own and rarely if ever steps in. When the team was facing off against Mister Twister, he warned that if he intervened, he would not help them triumph... but would take over, implying they might want to avoid that scenario by solving the problem themselves.

At a later point, Red Tornado offered the team an impromptu mission when he sent them to Salem Massachusetts to investigate the disappearance of Kent Nelson AKA Doctor Fate.

Production notes
This is the fourth animated incarnation of Red Tornado, who had his first appearance in the DC Animated Universe series Justice League Unlimited, where he had a considerable number of cameos and a few minor roles. He also had a prominent role in one Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode and appeared in the direct-to-video animated film Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.
