History:
The Red Tornado began his existence on the planet Rann as a sentient, living tornado whose evil nature was dominant. He was called the Tornado Tyrant battled Adam Strange and was nearly destroyed. Observing Strange and the Justice League of America, the tornado being decided to become a hero and renamed himself the Tornado Champion. However, the Champion's evil self split off to become a separate being, a new Tornado Tyrant, which the Champion defeated.

Later, criminal scientist T.O. Morrow created an android called the Red Tornado in order to defeat the Justice Society of America. The Tornado Champion entered the android body but thereby lost his memory. The Red Tornado saved both the JLA and JSA from Morrow and became a member of the Justice Society himself.

After nearly being destroyed, the Tornado was repaired by Morrow and joined the JLA. Given human facial features by his creator, the Tornado took the human identity of John Smith and fell in love with Kathy Sutton. The Tornado was destroyed in action again, but was rebuilt by the Construct. Recently, the Red Tornado learned he was the Tornado Champion.

During the Crisis on Infinite Earths the Red Tornado was captured by the Anti-Monitor, who changed the Red Tornado in unknown ways. Morrow was enlisted to repair the Red Tornado aboard the JLA Satellite, but the Red Tornado's android body exploded. However, the Red Tornado reconstituted himself as an immensely powerful living tornado. Now seeing himself as a force of nature, the Red Tornado was appalled by the ecological devastation humanity had wreaked on Earth, and he threatened to destory civilization. But finallly, after fighting the JLA, the Red Tornado left to discover his new purpose in life.

Powers:
The Tornado Champion and Tyrant could take the form of a devastatingly powerful tornado and could transform matter.

The android Red Tornado could create and control artificial tornadoes, and fly at great speed.
