I like when the villain becomes the hero out of exhaustion. The good guy and bad guy just get tired of not getting along, but they spent so much time together that they just get along.

Jason Todd was the second Robin. The first was Dick Greyson, who became Nightwing. Second was Jason Todd. Then the third was Bruce’s son Damien.

Jason was a hothead and often went against Batman’s orders. He ended up getting captured by Joker, who tortured him to death and sent the recorded footage to Batman to taunt him.

Depending on which storyline you follow, Todd was either brought back to life via the Lazarus Pits, (which is the same thing Ra’s Al Ghul uses to stay immortal,) or Joker faked his death so Batman would stop looking for him, then continued to torture him for weeks/months/years afterwards. In either scenario, Jason ends up getting free from Joker, and goes sort of crazy. Either due to the Lazarus Pits, (which has a side effect of driving the user a little more mad every time they use it,) or because Joker tortured him so badly.

He has a brief stint as a new supervillain, using his Robin training (intimate knowledge of Batman’s gear, knowing how Batman thinks, knowing how to fight against Batman, etc) to go up against Batman. Basically, he blames Batman for his torture, because Batman failed to rescue him from Joker. He eventually redeems himself, reconciles with Batman, and becomes Red Hood. Red Hood is sort of a Punisher type character, who has Robin’s training but isn’t afraid to use guns.

Also forgetting Stephanie Brown, though she did have the shortest tenure.

Wait a minute, I've heard this before...

Or he came back because Superboy punched the walls of reality and caused history to change.

Honestly, I forgot all about Tim. You can read into that as much as you’d like.

The second robin. He was captured by the joker then tortured and killed by him, he was then brought back to life via a lazurus pit (which Ra's Al Ghul uses) and then went nuts but eventually redeemed himself and then became red hood.

He is one of the robins I think, ends up becoming the red mask or something and turns into an antihero of sorts

Venom is still the Villan in most cannons, but I think the reason he's the hero in his movies is 1. It's his movies, of course he has to be the hero, and 2. He hasn't meet deadpool in his movies.

Iirc Deadpool was actually Venom's first human host.

Deadpool having 3 personalities was too much for Venom which is why he was so fucked up when he latched onto Spiderman. He was literally trying to put his head back together and that's why Peter was able to reject him.

That is true, but in the movie, venom skips deadpool and Peter so he's a lot less evil and not broken.
