History Summary: Before the start of Rebirth
His dad was a henchman for hire, got himself locked up after a job went south, and ended up dying in prison. Mom was a drug addict he tried to protect but ended up dying of an overdose anyway. He was on the streets after that fast talking his way out of deadly encounters and learning to take a punch from someone a lot bigger than him. He kept himself fed sometimes by stealing car parts. It's how he first met Batman. He caught him stealing the wheels off the batmobile. Batman takes him to a school for at-risk youths, but it turns out the school is just a front for criminal activity, and the two of them end up taking it down. Batman then takes him in and makes him his new Robin, but he's a little too violent for the boy wonder persona. You can take the kid out of Crime Alley, but you can't take Crime Alley out of the kid.
He ends up getting benched, then comes to find out his biological mother is still alive while the one he'd known was just a woman his dad took up with after his mother left. He chases the clues until he finds her. It's all sunshine and rainbows until she sells him out to the Joker, who beats him with a crowbar within an inch of his life and kills him in an explosion for Batman to find. He ends up dead and buried 6 feet under, then 6 months later, some multi-dimensional bullshit brings him back to life. Kid had to dig himself out of his own grave with his bare hands. He comes out the other end, practically a zombie. I guess Joker bashed his head in with that crowbar a little too good. The League of Assassins later finds him, and he gets thrown into the Lazarus Pit, which heals his mind. Now that he's back in body and mind, he's told he's already been replaced and shown pictures of the new Robin hanging out with Batman. This eats at him, and he ends up tracking Tim down, makes sure all of the Titans except Tim are away for the night before breaking into the tower wearing a version of his old Robin uniform and beating Tim until he's unconsciousness. He feels a little guilty about that now, not his best moment. Later, he goes around the world learning how to be a better assassin before returning to Gotham City. He takes up the Joker's first persona, the Red Hood, and makes it his own.
He comes back to Gotham to influence crime and take vengeance. He kills the top drug dealers and takes control of the drug trade in Gotham while making moves to get the attention of the major crime lords, becoming just enough of a nuisance to their bottom line to get them to use their resources to do what he can't. During this crime spree, he ends up facing off with Batman, and the two end up unmasked before each other. Now that his identity is out, Red Hood puts more pressure on the crime lords before Batman tracks him down and Black Mask takes the bait. He springs the Joker from prison to kill him exactly as Jason planned from the start. With Joker out of Arkham Asylum, he easily tracks and captures him while in police transport, outsmarting Batman when he tries to stop him. Once he has Joker in his custody, Jason beats him with a crowbar within an inch of his life for old times sake. An eye for an eye. Later, he rigs a building to explode and has a final showdown with Batman, the Joker, and him. He gives Batman an ultimatum. Kill the Joker or kill him. Sadly, no one gets killed, even after the bombs go off. Jason ends up escaping, becoming an outlaw.
Powers
Powers / Enhancements:
Physical
Jason’s fighting style emphasizes brutality, speed, and strength, incorporating Aikido, Capoeira, Karate, Ninjutsu, Savate, Krav Maga, Kickboxing, and Tae Kwon Do. After being revived by the Lazarus Pit, Jason seems to have gained enhanced physical abilities. It's nowhere near what a meta or other superpower being will have and the extent of the physical changes hasn't been fully explained yet. Jason simply seems to be able to take a beating and give a beating better than most, surviving a few incidents that would have killed most people. He's not immortal, just a little bit sturdier than your average guy with human limitations.

Equipment/Weapon
Armor: He wears body armor on his torso, shins and knees. His chest armor has a built in taser rigged to go off if the bat symbol emblazoned on the chest is touched.
Red-Hood Helmet: Protects him from bullets and the environment. The air is filtered protecting him from any airborne gases/poisons. The helmet allows him to communicate with others through an encrypted line. The inside of the helmet is laced with explosives allowing him quick access to their firepower in a pinch. The helmet cannot be pried off by conventional means. It's gas-tight and can only be removed when the latches are removed in a specific order. He has a large stockpile of helmets most likely because he often makes use of the explosives.
Magic Blades: The All Blades. Twin indestructible swords connected to his soul. A gift from the All-Caste, an ancient order of assassins. He can materialize them whenever he wants but can only use them for a limited time since they draw power from his soul. They only work against magic.
Note:
The All-Blades are not considered equipment because they manifest from his soul. He can only use them for a short period of time and only to fight anything resembling magic. They won't work on anything else and once he's used up his allotted time they'll disappear. They're basically a summons.
League of Assassin Dagger: It can cut through almost anything including Batman’s armor and arsenal such as his grappling lines. It’s a replica of one of Ra’s al Ghul’s knives.
