Biography

In Reality Z-25 31-H

Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf wrestle for Grandmother's documents. (COMIC: Red Riding Hood)

Reality Z-25 31-H's incarnation of Red Riding Hood was a superspy active in 21st-century America. Her superior went by the codename “Grandmother”, and she had an acquaintance called Hunter. While transporting some secrt documents to Grandmother, Red Riding Hood was stopped by the Big Bad Wolf, a secret agent of a rival organisation, who had the ability to turn into a super-strong wolf-man. The two began to fight, and turned out to be more or less evenly-matched. Partway through the match they realised that they actually fancied each other and would rather betray their sides and pair up than continue fighting. After sleeping together for the first time, they agreed to work together to take down Grandmother, possibly with the help of Hunter. (COMIC: Red Riding Hood)

Becoming a pair of superheroes, the Big Bad Wolf and Red Riding Hood gained the trust of Captain Evening. They were among the heroes who could be summoned to the Fortress of Evening by the “Omega Protocol” on the Captain's computer. However, when the Protocol was activated by Professor Madison to recruit a team of heroes with whom to field an assault on the headquarters of the Bureau of Singularity, the Wolf and Red declined, deeming the mission foolhardy.
