He also spent some time as the "adult mentor" of Comicbook/YoungJustice. The series spotlighted his relationship with his daughter, and really fleshed him out. One of his defining moments came when YJ's first foe, an omnipotent wish-granting being, returned and was about to destroy all life. Red Tornado pleaded with the being to make -him- human, too, so that he could die along with his friends and loved ones. The being granted Tornado his wish, and observed how the now human embraced his wife and daughter before facing the end. This touched emotions in the omnipotent being that it had never felt before, and it wondered the eternal question "oh, what it must mean to be human"... and inadvertently turned itself into a depowered, harmless newborn human. The lack of Ontological Inertia reverted Tornado into a robot. He eventually had to defend his right to retain his guardianship of his adopted his daughter due to his legal status as a machine (which was all part of ThePlan to destabilize the entire super-hero population of the DCU). While it's true that he lost the case and ended up in a jail cell, some readers had never found themselves rooting so hard for a tertiary character before or since.
A new version of Red Tornado has since appeared in the ComicBook/{{New 52}} continuity as part of the ''Comicbook/{{Earth 2}}'' series. In keeping with the series' emphasis on diversity, the new Red Tornado is a {{Gynoid}} [[GenderFlip rather than a masculine Android]]. In issue 17 of ''Earth 2'', she has the late Lois Lane's consciousness [[BrainUploading uploaded into her body]], bringing Lois back to life in a manner of speaking.

The Red Tornado appeared in [[AnimatedSeries animated form]] as a member of the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', in some episodes of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' and as a recurring character in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' - the cartoon, that is, in addition to the [[ComicBook/YoungJustice comic]]. He also appears in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' thus far, "Captain Bamboozle". An apparently nonsentient version of the character, being used by a villain, appears in a first season episode of ''Series/{{Supergirl|2015}}'', while an alternate version appeared during the ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX'' crossover event.

Tornado's origin [[ExpansionPackPast got more complicated]] in the [[TheEighties 1980s]] when a Justice League writer decided to reveal that Tornado was actually the Tornado Tyrant, an [[ElementalEmbodiment Air Elemental]] enemy of the League who had taken refuge in the android's body while it was being made, only to gain [[EasyAmnesia amnesia]] in the process. For a while, Tornado abandoned his robot body and became DarkerAndEdgier as a living storm, but has recently returned to his humanoid body and role as a hero.

He found a planet and set himself up as its resident hero. After a battle against a manifestation of his former evil ways, he traveled to Earth-Two and was accidentally integrated into the Red Tornado android, which had a brief villainous lifestyle before resuming its heroic role.

Hunkel first appeared in ''All-American Comics'' #3 (June, 1939), created by Sheldon Mayer. She assumed the Red Tornado identity in issue #20 (November, 1940). Her series ended in #59 (July, 1944). She had a minor crossover with the Justice Society in ''All-Star Comics'' #3 (Winter, 1940). After the end of her series, Hunkel remained a fond memory. She was given minor cameos in retro stories and crossovers, but was not seriously considered for revival until ''JSA'' #55 (February, 2004), where she was revealed to be still alive. Her long absence was explained with her having joined the Witness Protection Program back in 1950. Though now in her 80s and long past retired, she serves as the JSA's resident museum curator while looking after her granddaughter Maxine, the wind-powered superhero Cyclone.

During UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}}, like many other DC characters, the Tornado was reinvented. This time, he was an [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots android]] with wind-creating powers. This version first appeared in ''"Justice League of America''" #64-65 (August-September, 1968). The two parter was written by Gardner Fox and drawn by Dick Dillin.
The android was created by MadScientist T.O.Morrow to infiltrate the Justice Society and destroy it from within, pretending to be the original Red Tornado suffering from amnesia. Despite realizing that could not be true (because they knew the facts about the original Tornado- obviously Morrow didn't) the Society allowed him to join them. Eventually The Tornado discovers the truth and turns on his own creator, saving the Society and becoming a true hero.
