10 Greatest Comic Book Heroes Who Despise Humans

5. Red Hood

Rorschach Alan Moore Watchmen
DC Comics

The second Robin has become one of the most infamous characters in DC Comics history. His run as Robin was so hated by DC fans that they almost unanimously voted to kill him off in a brutal fashion at the hands of the Joker.

Sadly, like most comic-book characters, he was brought back thanks to the use of Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus Pit. But being revived by the Lazarus Pit means that the person who emerges from death is not the same person they once were, and Jason was no different.

His exposure to the pit made him more unstable, more violent, and less willing to follow Batman's straight-edged moral compass. Instead, Todd believed that the only way to truly stop criminals is to bury them six feet underground.

Adopting a new name, the Red Hood, Jason quickly became a fan favorite due to his brutal tactics on crime and his immediate rivalry with Batman.

Red Hood has slowly become more of an anti-hero in recent stories, but when he first arrived, Red Hood viewed all of humanity as flawed and corrupt and all too willing to try and save monsters like the Joker instead of doing what needs to be done.
