Hero of the Week- Red Tornado

 

From Wiki, patched together by me:  Red Tornado was formed with the merger of two entities: an android body created by supervillain T. O. Morrow^[2] and the Tornado Champion from the planet Rann. The Tornado Champion was the morally good part of a sentient tornado on Rann.  In 1968, Red Tornado appears at JSA headquarters on Earth-Two claiming to be the "original" Red Tornado. Although the JSA is suspicious, Red Tornado has all of Hunkel's memories. Morrow has other robots attack a museum and vaporize relics, and the JSA responds. Red Tornado, programmed to appear inept (and keep the JSA from realizing its true nature), exposes the JSA to the dust created by the vaporization and all except Doctor Fate fall into a coma. It then returns to Morrow's lair as programmed. Morrow's computer predicts that keeping Red Tornado active will allow Morrow to continue his criminal activity. Doctor Fate awakens the remaining JSA members from their coma, and Red Tornado betrays his fellow JSA members by telling them to use Morrow's energy weapons. The devices, rigged to explode, put the JSA and Red Tornado into a coma and Morrow returns to Earth-One to attack the Justice League.^[8] He puts the JLA into comas twice: once with energy duplicates and a second time with energy duplicates of their deadliest enemies. Red Tornado (who was not incapacitated by the energy backfire on Earth-Two) travels to Earth-One and revives the JLA members, who capture Morrow. It returns to Earth-Two and revives the JSA, which admits Red Tornado to full membership in gratitude.^[9][10]  Back to me now!

There is a lot more, since I didn't meet Reddy until he joined the JLA and helped defeat his creator. I didn't realize he was created at the same time (more or less) as the Vision.  His powers were different.  So he was cool with me.  I like this original look the best, and thought the new suit was a bit too ornate.  They have simplified it.  It was also nice to see him in some of the animated series as well.
