Red Hood (Comic Book Character)

 In my humble opinion, one of the most underrated comic book characters of all time is Jason Todd. Better known as the Red Hood.

Jason Todd made his debut into comics back in March of 1983 as Robin during Batman #635. Todd was a replacement to the original Robin (Dick Grayson) who had moved on and became Nightwing. 

Todd became the new Robin after Batman discovered him trying to steal the tires off of the Batmoblie. 

Now, I know that I just said that Jason Todd was an underrated character, but when he first debut, he wasn't exactly popular among the fans as Jason was known for being aggressive and reckless. Basically he was the total opposite of Dick Grayson.

It got so bad that during the storyline "A Death In The Family" fans voted on a telephone poll that Jason would die at the hands of the Joker.

We wouldn't see Jason again until 2005 during the "Under The Red Hood" story arc. In this story a mysterious figure named the Red Hood began tearing up the streets of Gotham which ultimately led to Batman discovering that Jason is alive thanks to Ra's al Ghul and his daughter Talia who placed him in the Lazarus Pit. But only made Jason even more aggressive.

Which is one of the reasons why I love the Red Hood character in the beginning because he challenges Batman and his one rule which is not to kill. Because of the fact the Joker had murdered him, Jason always wondered why Batman never killed him back.

But eventually, Jason came back to the Batman family, although he has become more of an anti-hero. He even became the leader of the Outlaws. Which honestly, I really enjoyed the Red Hood and the Outlaws series. I really loved seeing Jason trying to find redemption and peace as well the dynamic between the original three members of the team along with Red Hood were Starfire and Arsenal. Then it was Red Hood along with Bizarro and Artemis. Both volumes were amazing!

Red Hood has appeared in numerous movies and video games and to this day I really enjoyed the film version of Under the Red Hood where Jason Todd was voiced by Jensen Ackles.

It is interesting to see what Red Hood will do next.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
