<P> Timothy Drake eventually takes up the bat mantle when Dick Grayson refuses to and sets off to fight Todd, who easily defeats him . Grayson then comes to the rescue and refuses to believe Todd when he claims he has killed Drake, which he has not since current Robin Damian Wayne rescued Drake at the last moment . They battle and Grayson eventually defeats Todd, who says that he will be seen again . </P> <P> On June 6, 2011, as part of DC Comics' line - wide revamp initiative, it was announced Jason Todd will headline his own title in the guise of the Red Hood . Todd acts as leader of the Outlaws, a group of antiheroes that "have several different exciting characters from the DC Universe--some we've seen before and some we haven't," Batman Group Editor Mike Marts said . The group includes Roy Harper and Starfire . Red Hood and the Outlaws debuted in September 2011, written by Scott Lobdell and with art by Kenneth Rocafort . The series has focused on Jason Todd's redemption, and introduced a simplified version of his origin story as the Red Hood in Red Hood and the Outlaws #0, a special prequel issue between #12 and #13 . </P> <P> The initial version of Jason "Jay" Todd from before Crisis on Infinite Earths had an origin that was virtually identical to the 1940 origin of the original Robin (Dick Grayson). Originally, he is the son of circus acrobats, Joseph Todd and Trina Todd, killed by a criminal named (Killer Croc) and is later adopted by Bruce Wayne . Distinguished by strawberry blond hair, Todd is wearing various pieces of Dick Grayson's old childhood disguises as costume to fight crime until Grayson presents him with a Robin costume of his own . At that point, Todd dyes his hair black, and in later stories blossoms under Batman's tutelage . </P> <P> For a time Natalia Knight, the criminal also known as Nocturna, Mistress of the Night is a stabilizing influence in his life; she becomes his surrogate mother and even adopts the young Todd .
