Red Tornado

 SuperFriends Team Member

Red Tornado is an android superhero and a member of the Super Friends.

Background Information
The Red Tornado is an android created by the supervillain T. O. Morrow for the purpose of infiltrating the Justice Society of America (part of the plan involved giving the android a false memory indicating that it was the Red Tornado who had attended the first JSA meeting). After the android was complete, it was merged with two other entities from the Earth-One Universe: Ulthoon the Tornado Tyrant of Rann and the Tornado Champion.

Continuity from Justice League of America vol.1, #146 (September 1977)
The reactivated Red Tornado is unmasked as an electronic consciousness known as the Construct.  Soon after wards he is deactivated. Superman, Batman, and Green Arrow seek information about the first en-counter between the Construct and the JLA from Aquaman and Atom in Atlantis, while Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and Black Canary accompany Wonder Woman to Paradise Island, where she uses the Amazons Memory Chair to remember her own mental subjugation to the Construct's will in its second incarnation. Regrouping, the heroes discover the Construct's hideaway, but the villain escapes them by transferring its mind elsewhere. The Red Tornado comes to life again, but is unable to convince the members that he is now truly in control of his actions. When he finally does convince Hawkman and the female members, they are too late to prevent the Construct from taking over the minds of the others, and must battle their own teammates. Finally, the Red Tornado battles the Construct, will-against-will, and the machine-intelligence is destroyed in its attempt to subjugate the android's mind. Wonder Woman ensures that this destruction of the Construct is permanent, Red Tornado is reinstated as a member, and Hawkgirl at last joins the team.
