Background
Robin, after having been completely baffled by Slade for some time, concocted an alter ego, Red X, in an attempt to learn more about why Slade wanted control of Jump City. In order to gain Slade's trust, he stole a set of chips, expecting that, when he delivered, Slade would divulge to him all the information he had been seeking. Slade, however, had different plans, knowing that Robin was posing as Red X in order to gain information. After a long fight with a robotic Slade, Robin realizes he was in the wrong for posing as Red X to fool Slade.

Putting the suit away, he thinks Red X is gone forever, until one day a new Red X appears. Fighting the Titans just as deftly as Red X Robin did, Red X lures Robin into a vault full of Xenothium, the element that powered the suit's belt. The two are incapacitated by Professor Chang's lackeys, and must team up to beat him and keep him from destroying the city with his cannon. Though Robin steals the belt back, Red X escapes, leaving everyone to wonder who the new X is.

Personality
When Robin was posing as Red X, he was a simple criminal with a strange knowledge of how to defeate each of the Titans and a lust for knowledge of Slade's plans.

The new Red X, however, is a self described common theif. He simply wishes to steal for the sake of stealing, and only looks out for himself.
