THE RED HOOD

VS

VLADIMIR MAKAROV

WHO

IS

DEADLIEST????

The Red Hood
Before he became the Red Hood, he was just Jason Todd. an orphan roaming the streets of Gotham, until he came across the Batmobile. He was in the middle of stealing the tires when Batman returned and found him doing said thing. He took Todd home with him, and revealed his identity as Bruce Wayne. Wayne had seen potential in young Todd to replace Dick Grayson as Robin. Eventually, Batman began noticing mood changes in Robin. As it turns out, he had not come to grips with his parents' deaths. Jason found out his mother was not who he believed her to be. So he set out to find her. And in doing so he did, but was also set up by her. The Joker was working with his mother by way of blackmailing her. Joker beat Jason with a crowbar within an inch of death, and then blew him and Jason's mother up. The death of Jason Todd became Batman's greatest failure. Years after death, however, Jason returned to Gotham as the Red Hood. and has returned with a vengeance.

Vladimir Makarov
Not much is known of Makarov's early life other than he was a Spetsnaz operative. Eventually, however, they had to kick him out. He eventually joined the ranks of world terrorist leaders. Striking at various places in the early 21st century, he made it to the upper ranks and inner circle of Imran Zakhaeav, then the country's leader. When he was killed, Makarov swore revenge against those responsible. In 2016, he attacked Zakhaeav international airport. He learned of an American operative in his squad, a PFC Joseph Allen. At the end of the attack he killed him and left the body for the authorities to find. Thus starting World War 3, and triggering a massive Russian invasion of the mainland USA. Makarov went into hiding, following this. He gave Captain Price pertinent information on General Sheperd's location soon after the General had blacklisted Price and Soap.
