The Red Tornado attempts to create a "son" who can understand human emotions. At first his son seems to embody all that is good in humanity. However, after a villain's electrical attack, the "Tornado Champion"'s programming is corrupted and he embraces the darker emotions, turning into the Tornado Tyrant and vowing to destroy the biological infestations known as humanity.

Episode Quotes
 
Batman: The only thing more harrowing than taking down Joker is taking down Joker while he's behind the wheel of a car.
 
Green Arrow: Well, Bats, I guess you beat me. Yeah, right.
Batman: This is never going to end, is it?
Green Arrow: I certainly hope not.
 
Red Tornado: Observation: I startled you.
Batman: Nobody startles me.
 
Batman: So why am I here?
Red Tornado: As I am ready to initiate the activation protocols, I thought it would be best to have you on hand to verify the results.
Batman: You wanted to share this moment with a friend. Understood.
 
Tornado Champion: Observation: You are reasonably useful for a biological life-form.
Batman: Please, you'll make my head swell.
 
Tornado Champion: But why is there evil in the world?
Red Tornado: Human philosophers have endeavored to answer that question for thousands of years, Son, and have yet to find an adequate answer.
Tornado Champion: Do you have an answer, Father?
Red Tornado: No answers. Just an observation: human kindness is far preferable to human cruelty.
Tornado Champion: Why is it preferable?
Red Tornado: Because.
Tornado Champion: "Because" is not a logical answer, Father.
Red Tornado: Perhaps not, but based upon my studies of humankind, it is the only answer.
 
Red Tornado: You have caused much destruction and much suffering.
Tornado Tyrant: Are you going to send me to my room without supper?
 
Red Tornado: You cannot do this. They deserve better.
Tornado Tyrant: Please, Father. They're worthless biological jokes. This planet which they have abused and poisoned will thrive without them.
Red Tornado: Not jokes. They aspire. They dare to... dream. To reach out to each other. To love.
Tornado Tyrant: Blah, blah, blah.
Red Tornado: Declaration: You cannot mock love, for it was love that created you.
Tornado Tyrant: You are a fool.
 
Red Tornado: You were correct, Batman. I never should have attempted this. Who am I to fathom the depths of human emotion? The nature of human existence?
Batman: I heard what you said back there, Red. You understand the human heart better than most. In fact, I think in seeking to make him human, you found your own humanity.
Red Tornado: Observation: You proceed from a false assumption. I offered no insights. I simply parroted that which I have read in books. Seen in films, observed in all of you. I cannot grasp humanity. I am merely a machine. And so is he.
 
Batman: You okay?
Red Tornado: Why would I not be?
Batman: Take care, Tornado.
Red Tornado: (sheds a tear) Oily discharge. I must run an internal diagnostic.
