The Tyrant has upgraded his capabilities so that his power is now superior to Red Tornado’s.

Batman and Red Tornado confront the new Tornado Tyrant with a device that can scramble his core programming.

He stands revealed as the Tornado Tyrant, and vows to destroy humanity. He activates the laboratory equipment and upgrades his android body. The pair of heroes are unaware that Tornado Champion secretly removed the failsafe. At Batman’s urging, Red Tornado decides to utilize the failsafe and de-activate Tornado Champion. Eventually after the arrival of emotions, Tornado Champion begins to think himself above humanity, and begins to behave in a threatening manner. While Red Tornado and Tornado Champion are stopping the villain a bolt of lightening strikes Champion, and his emotional abilities finally manifest. The weather controlling villain, Major Disaster, summons a storm to attack the Gotham docks. Batman warns that creating life in a laboratory is dangerous, but Red Tornado explains he put in a failsafe that can shut down his “son.” Emotions don’t seem present initially in the new android, but he and Tornado work as team mates while the father patiently waits for their appearance. Tornado reveals that Champion will have an upgrade – emotions. The story proper opens in Red Tornado’s lab, where the android hero is creating another version of himself, a “son” named Tornado champion, and he wants Batman to verify his results. Both heroes’ vehicles convert into planes and Batman and Green Arrow are off to compete once again as Batman realizes their competition will never end. They simultaneously stop the Joker, when Catwoman interrupts them by robbing a bank. In the teaser we get Batman and Green Arrow in their typical game of one upsmanship while chasing the Joker through Gotham. Though there were a lot of liberties taken, this episode did pay quite a bit of homage to Red Tornado’s, strange, interesting and somewhat confusing history.

When I saw the title for this episode I thought we were going to see some kind of computer glitch cause Red Tornado to take a “heel turn”, but that isn’t quite what happened. Episode Title: “Hail the Tornado Tyrant!”
