@hubcityquestion​: "Don't have a nose but can confidently tell you that you smell worse than I do on a bad day." 

“Believe me, one quick disgustin’ look atcha and not having a nose is the least of your problems, smoothface. But if this was your nonchalant way of requesting I blast you up a new one?”

“I have never felt more charitable in my whole life. Skut, I could even fix you up with a couple eyes and even a mouth. You wanna find out who smells worse after that?!”

“They say ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,’ but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone take the phrase quite so literally before.”

     Despite catching the so-called detective red-handed ( or, perhaps more accurately, elbow-deep ), Luthor doesn’t appear too bothered. “I don’t know what the laws are in Hub City, but scavenging is illegal in Metropolis. Though I suppose my lawyers could make a case for burglary since it hasn’t left the building yet,” he muses with a chuckle.

“What were you hoping to find in there, I wonder? Wait, wait, don’t answer that, I have a better question: did you really think that breaking into the headquarters of the most powerful man this world has ever known would be so easy? Or maybe you knew it was too good to be true, but just couldn’t resist the opportunity to uncover some dirt.”

“For someone with a reputation of being as paranoid as you, I’m insulted you didn’t think I’d be fully aware that a man without a face was running around my city. But I’m willing to graciously overlook your poor manners — and your crimes — in exchange for your... cooperation.”

SOLVING FOR X

brvciewayne asks:

Hey HubCityQuestion, I’ve been watching the Teen Titans animated show and was wondering, who do you think Red X is?

Ah, one of my favorite unsolved mysteries. I actually wrote an article revisiting this cold case when Teen Titans Academy resurrected the Red X role a couple years back. To recap, I’ll share my personal favorite theory, and what I believe to be the most likely theory.

Long-lost siblings, magical imps, Jason Todd, robot duplicates and more have all been bandied about as potential answers, but I’m personally partial to the clone theory. The notion of Red X as a clone of Dick Grayson is one which cleverly builds on the show’s mythology up to that point, taking into account the series’ established themes.

In the first two seasons of Teen Titans, the team’s arch-enemy Slade has one consistent motivation: to find an apprentice worthy of continuing his work and inheriting his criminal operations. In season one, he sets his eyes on Robin as his ideal candidate. In fact, in the season one episode “Masks,” we see that Robin even specifically developed the Red X persona as a way to infiltrate Slade’s operations. By the end of the debut season, Slade has even (temporarily) blackmailed Robin into the role as the only way to guarantee the safety of his teammates. In season two, Slade moves on to Terra as his next choice—one which proves fatal.

But what if Terra wasn’t Slade’s only choice? What made Slade such a persistent enemy to the Teen Titans, after all, was that he always had a back-up plan. In the season three episode “X,” we see that the mysterious Red X has a connection to Professor Chang, a mad scientist responsible for bioengineering the honorary Teen Titan Red Star in the season five episode “Snowblind.” During Robin’s brief alliance with Slade, could Slade have procured a DNA sample from Robin with the intention of crafting a more obedient, lab-grown replacement?

By the time we meet the new Red X in season three, Slade is already dead. If indeed Red X is a clone created by Slade, then he awakes to a world in which his purpose was rendered irrelevant before he was born. And so, this perfect clone of Robin is unleashed on a world without direction, forced to find a path and identity of his own. Time and again, Red X indicates to Robin that he’s neither hero nor villain and plays by rules of his own. If no one was ever there to give you them, wouldn’t you?

But that’s just my theory. Ultimately, I believe in a much harder truth: if we were supposed to know who Red X was, then the show would have told us. It’s well-known lore among fans of the show that Teen Titans was originally planned to run for four seasons—hence the apocalyptic final story arc featuring Raven and Trigon at season four’s conclusion, “The End”—but the show’s unexpected popularity allowed renewal for a fifth season, which tellingly launched the story in an entirely new (and quite good) direction. With this Red X’s introduction as a separate character in season three, if there ever was an identity reveal planned for him, then we would have seen it before the intended end of the story in season four. The mystery of Red X is what has kept fans talking about him for all these years, and choosing to conceal his identity for all time, if one was ever written for him at all, was one of the smartest things the show’s writers ever did.

@hubcityquestion​ -- “Heyya Questie”

“Don’t call me that. Why are you here?”

“Wow. I am simply hurt you aren’t just thrilled to see me. And sheesh. No cutesie nicknames? Fine. Fine. As you wish,” The Riddler tutted, tapping his finger against his chin as if he were trying to recall the meaning of his surprise visit. 

“I need a favour...” Wasn’t that rich. “I need you to solve a murder.”
