Is Red Hood a Hero

Red Hood is not a hero, but he does have heroic qualities. Red Hood is not always fighting for the side of justice like Batman, which is one of the reasons Red Hood may not be considered a hero. Red hood also has no problem with killing criminals and often gets into conflict with Batman because Red Hood believes Batman would let criminals get away with their crimes instead of putting them in jail. Red hood sometimes fights for the side of good, while other times he fights for what’s right, which can make it difficult to classify him as a hero or anti-hero. Red hood may be considered a lesser evil than the criminals he fights, but Red Hood has also been shown taking on duties of justice in his Red Hood and the Outlaws series. In Red Hood and the Outlaws volume one Red Hood is seen stopping pirates from hijacking a ship, as well as freeing slaves from an illegal slave trader. Red hood also assists Batman in Red Hood and the Outlaws volume 2 as he travels to Gotham City to help Red hood deal with a new gang of criminals. Red hood is also seen at times fighting alongside heroes such as Green Lantern, Blue Beetle, Nightwing, Arsenal and Superman. Red hood also helps assist other DC anti-heroes like Catwoman at times when they are both targeted by other villains. Red hood is not a hero, but he does have heroic qualities that make him appealing to the heroes in his series.
