"Red Tornado was constructed by Thomas Oscar Morrow™ to counteract the Super Heroes who interfered in his schemes. However, the android's frame was possessed by a wandering wind elemental, and achieved unanticipated power and sentience. Joining the Justice League™, ""Reddy"" enjoyed friendship and loyalty. He took on the human identity John Smith, married Kathy Sutton'"", and adopted a young orphan, Traya. He has been destroyed and reconstructed repeatedly-with varying degrees of
success-leading to serious impairment of function. "
