Clyde Destro is a baker and was a member of the Red Hood gang.
Biography[]
Clyde Destro started out as a baker who was denied loans from the banks in order to improve his failing bakery. He ended up joining a group of robbers who would eventually become the Red Hood Gang. After Gus Floyd had conceived the Red Hood identity, Clyde then shot Floyd and became the second Red Hood. He led the Red Hood Gang in a raid on a second bank, later being approached one night by Trope, who wanted the red hood mask to impress his girlfriend, and shoots Clyde for it. Upon arriving at Clyde's apartment, Harvey Bullock finds Clyde on the ground with a bullet wound in him. Jim Gordon finds the denied loans from banks, figuring out that he wanted money from the banks that rejected him. They were able to find a clue to the next bank that was going to be robbed.[2]

Trivia[]
- Although the actual television show doesn't disclose his fate after his gunshot wound, the tie-in website the Gotham Chronicle reveals he survived.[3]
- This makes him the only surviving member of the Red Hood Gang, and the only one out of the two Red Hood Gangs to still be alive.
- Given to his prominent role in the episode "Red Hood", Clyde Destro is apparently the true leader of the gang's first version. Gus Floyd briefly lead the gang with Red Hood mask, in which Destro considered as a nonsense and wanted to make a brief speech in the bank robbery in Gotham Bank before he was cut by Gus's speech; this possibly implies that Destro wanted the whole time to lead gang before escaping from Gotham. This wish was partially fulfilled when he killed Gus after Destro was convinced from him that the Red Hood mask makes a luck when commiting a robbery. When Destro was arrested, Trope assumed the leadership and the Red Hood mask, but this lasted very shortly because he was gunned down by the police.
