Kathy Sutton

Kathy Sutton is a civilian supporting character in the DC Universe best known as the romantic partner of the Red Tornado, the android Justice League member. Her relationship with Red Tornado grounds his struggles with humanity and emotion in a personal, human context.

Stepping onto the Bronze Age DC stage in 1974's Justice League of America #110 — brought to life by the legendary creative pairing of John Broome and Carmine Infantino — Kathy Sutton is a character whose world orbits the very heart of the DC Universe. With appearances spanning an impressive five decades, she's kept remarkable company, sharing pages with titans like Superman, Batman, Bruce Wayne, The Flash, and Green Lantern across the pages of Justice League of America and its annuals. Her catalog footprint may be modest, but it includes a collector-recognized key issue, and the fact that she's still surfacing in DC collections as recently as 2025 speaks to a quiet staying power that devoted fans of the Bronze Age will want to explore.
