DC Relaunch: Red Hood & the Outlaws

So you're the Red Hood. Life hasn't just been tough; it's been weird. First of all, you've got some bad beginnings on the street. A man comes along and tries to lift you up and brighten your life. That man is Batman. Somewhere you can see where that might go wrong. Oh and then you're brutally murdered, resurrected and trained by assassins, and decided to execute your own justice on the city you call home.
Now, you've got a couple of other people who are sitting on the wrong side of the fence of their own people, and they seem drawn to you. Exactly what you wanted.

Red Hood & the Outlaws is one of those series that none of us saw coming, but it doesn't leave people unintrigued. Jason Todd has been gaining popular since his reemergence as the Red Hood, despite the previous years of phone call ins regarding his death. Jason is generally not good at working with others, and usually prefers to do things his way. Compromise and consideration are not appropriate descriptives. Recently, fellow Outlaw Roy Harper has fallen on hard times and back into drugs. On his good days though, he's one of the best in the world with a bow and arrow, and just about any other weapon for that matter. He's hard-headed, which he gets from his mentor, the Green Arrow, and he seems to have picked up some of that ladies' man charm as well. Starfire has recently been in some odd places for her, after years of being on Earth being off world and working with REBELS. She expresses herself very openly, and her level of personal intimacy is much less guarded than most people. She's also one of the most powerful beings on Earth.
