I would liste to Red X, because that's what nobody did
>>150152587I wouldn’t. DC fucked it up terribly so instead of trying to retcon a bunch of shit or make a 5th Red X they would just need to bury and forget the whole thing. Then maybe in 10 years make a new Red X and pretend none of the previous 4 (except maybe Dick) ever happened.
>>150152587We already have Deathstroke at home.
give the identity to dorian chase since there's 50 other vigilanteskeep his hateboner for dick and just have him try to make dick's life hell
>>150152587Take him out of the Titans and explore him in a Nightwing series.
>>150152587Ignore it. Give it to Respawn. Make him Tim's nemesis and ape the cartoon as much as possible. Because Tim needs something.
>>150152587>Red XIt's capeshit. It's unsalvagable.
>>150154652Respawn? Get out of here Williamson
Red X should've never been his own character. OG is Dick undercover and the second should be pre-death Jason slapping on the costume and using it to go after his predecessor in a misguided attempt at proving he's just as good or better.
>>150154690At this point it's just giving Red X to someone that needs it. No need to make a new character or give it to a more popular one that doesn't need it. Respawn is a failed concept that had better alternatives and also a mystery character that fell flat on his face. It'd be a do over for both.
>>150152587I would not. Id kill him off permanently.Everything adapted from the 2003 cartoon is dog shit
>>150154731Respawn shouldn't exist and should be forgotten. As for Red X, the name is already attached to a character who can hold his own. Just use that to develop things further.
I know absolutely nothing about comic Red X. How hard can it be to have a mysterious dude who uses OP gadgets?
>>150152587Titans Academy basically beat you over the head with Red X being Lance Brunner, but Lance pre-dates Deathstroke, and he's why Robin creates the identity in the first place. You can't retcon Lance because he's set in a specific moment in Robin's life. And obviously you can't move Deathstroke up in the timeline either. It's a continuity clusterfuck. Exactly what you'd expect from that book.
>>150153475Dorian Chase is dead, he killed himself.
>>150154652>Give it to Respawn.What difference would changing Respawn to Red X make? They're fundamentally different characters.>Make him Tim's nemesisWhy would Respawn be Tim's nemesis? He's a Damian-adjacent character, literally his half-brother, he has no connection with Tim.>ape the cartoon as much as possible.Then we'd have to "give" Red X to Dick, cause he's the one from the cartoon, and also never reveal his identity like the cartoon.>Because Tim needs something.That's retarded, you can give something to Tim without taking something from the other Robins, Respawn is for Damian, Red X is for Dick.
>>150155772No, Adrian killed himself. Dorian is doing a 5 year bid at Ryker's Island.
>>150154678Stfu troon
>>150155752>Lance BrunnerReally? I was thinking more of Grant Wilson, since that's a character more people would remember and someone who DC won't let us forget about, Lance basically stopped being canon after the first reboot and every time they retell Batman's story, he's always ignored, like the original Thomas Wayne Jr., but even TMJ has gotten some variations like the implication that Lincoln March might actually be him, or using that identity for Earth 3 Owlman, Lance has basically been erased from DC history.
>>150154652Yes, as Tim struggles to pull himself out of Dick's shadow, or to find relevance in the era of Jason and Damian, the solution is to give him even MORE of Dick's hand-me-downs.How is it that the most original idea anyone's come up with for Tim is to make him gay?
>>150155752>>150155873I didn't really read Titans Academy, were there any actual hints towards Red X's identity?
>>150155882TT Dick was Dick in name only.
>>150155873>Every time they're on the page together Red X is calling Nightwing "Dickie Boy".Why would you get Grant from this?
>>150155911Name, personality, temperament, skill set, general boy-wonder-ness.
>>150155911Ah yes, let's ignore his love interest with Starfire and the fact thst he's with the New Teen Titans team.
>>150155926To be fair, he's not the only one who's called Dick that, it's a somewhat common nickname, I remember the Joker calling Dick that.But like I said, I was mainly focusing on the fact that Lance has basically been erased completely from DC history, if he was Red X, most people would just say "who?", Grant just seems like the more obvious reveal, since he's a dead character that more people recognize and his life and death are much more influential in the Titans lore.
>>150155926Lance only ever made one appearance and has never been seen again since Pre-Crisis.He just feels like one of those things DC would rather not have in their current history, like Alfred not being a family butler.It also just occurred to me they might think he's redundant with Jason around to serve as the troublemaking Robin that's good deep down and whose death affects Batman deeply. If he really was canon again and then came back as Red X, then that would really be just Jason's whole shtick again.
>>150156104All true. Still makes way more sense than Grant.
>>150156264Grant was temporary revived a while ago, so red X isn't him
>>150156343When was Grant revived?
>>150156364Lazarus contract
>>150152587It should just be used as a REMEMBER ME plot device to hide the identity of a member of the Teen Titans. Who's the hidden member this time? Shit, it's Captain Cold, IDK.
>>150156387I'm gonna have to reread that then cause I don't remember that happening.
>>150156264Lance would make sense if he was still an established part of Batman and the Titans' history, as it is, he pretty much never existed.
>>150156104Shame that Jason already is red hood
>>150156343>>150156387Alright, just checked Lazarus Contract again, and I'm gonna assume you were just misremembering instead of straight up lying, cause Grant isn't revived there.Slade simply goes back to the past and tries to prevent Grant from dying in the first place, which he repeatedly fails to do btw, Grant never stops being dead in the present.
>>150156343If it isn't Lance, and it isn't Grant, who could it be?My money's still on Grant but I'd like to hear alternate theories.
>>150152587>Make Red X a womanRose Wilson. She was trained by Nightwing in two different continuities.
>>150156608Remember that Titans Academy came out in the Infinite Frontier era. Everything is Canon.
>>150158064Except it isn't, canon is what writers and editorials are willing to acknowledge and bring back. Just like they won't acknowledge Pre-Crisis Thomas Wayne, Jr. or Pre-Crisis Alfred, they're not going to acknowledge the character that's basically a beta run of Jason.
>>150155926Because Lance is nothing but a Pre-Crisis piece of trivia, I don't think DC even remembers him.
You get a good creative team and write a Red X series or mini series about how Dick created the identity to go undercover. It would probably sell well if you do it right.
>>150154716>>150154731I feel silly that didn’t realize before that Red X is essentially Erik the Red from the x-men comics, the name is not subtle an I had already seen the Titans episodes when I read the comics.It follows more or leas the same story, Cyclops creates the identity to infiltrate a group and then a couple of villains used throw the years without much reason.
