Because Bad Guys Rock

Just cause they do.

I've seen a few evil titan concepts and decided to throw my hat into the ring. Not the whole team yet, but I'll post Beast Boy and Cyborg eventually. Ok, rant coming, so shield yourselves.

I decided to go with Red X for the evil Robin rather then the whole Slade apprentice thing. I mean, that looked impressive, but it wasn't really evil. It was the equivalent of saying "Shoplift some candy or I'll shoot your family." Yea, shoplifting is wrong, but in the end it doesn't really add up. Evil under duress while ultimately working towards good doesn't count. Everything he did was to save his friends, so I don't really see that as Robin's darkest moment.
Compare that with his time as Red X. He lied, stole, and attacked his friends. He betrayed their trust and actually ended up creating a new enemy for the titans. So yea, to me, evil Robin will always be Red X.

Comments welcome as always.
