Biography
Robinson Goode was a female human who was born in the modern age on Earth. Her father was noted to had run security at Iron Heights with Robinson herself becoming a journalist by the time she was an adult. She eventually got a job as a reporter at the Star Sentinel situated in Star City. (Action Comics v1 #1018)
Around 6 months, she was investigating a case involving missing people and the S.T.A.R. Labs at Star City. She decided to question one of the research teams who panicked and knocked her out. It was then that it was learnt that the team was responsible for the lab tech disappearances. In desperation, the corrupt scientists decided to kill Goode by putting her into an interdimensional rift that they were studying. Robinson managed to regain consciousness and attempted to flee but was dragged into the experiment where she joined a red cloud of matter. However, rather than dying, her body was transformed into the substance and she became a superpowered being composed of the seemingly gaseous material. In anger, she lashed out at the scientists and killed them all whereupon she quickly departed the scene. The authorities never discovered the missing scientists with Robinson's part of the event not being known and the lab was eventually shut down. (Action Comics v1 #1018)
She was looking for a new hideout for her villainous identity when she discovered an abandoned building. Once inside, she was confronted by Lex Luthor and Leviathan with the two proposing an alliance as they intended to strike Superman together now that the hero had revealed his true identity to the world. At first, Robinson refused but the pair managed to convince her that she could deal the killing blow after he was weakened by their attack. This saw the Red Cloud participate in the attack on Metropolis alongside the Legion of Doom as they targeted the Man of Steel. (Action Comics v1 #1019) The Red Cloud managed to capture Superman after he was attacked by the Legion of Doom and held him within her mercy. However, she turned against the villains to help the heroes when Leviathan similarly tuned against Luthor to prove that his own way was a means of bringing peace to the world. With Luthor defeated, Red Cloud departed the scene and continued on her own schemes alongside her ally Ms. Leone. (Action Comics v1 #1021)
Afterwards, she returned to Ms. Leone's side where the leader of the Invisible Mafia considered killing Lois Lane for her exposing the existence of the hidden criminal organisation. However, Robinson did not believe this was a good idea and shared an admiration of Lois Lane. Despite this, she and Leone agreed that a message needed to be sent that showed the Invisible Mafia were still a force to be reckoned with in the criminal underworld. (Action Comics v1 #1022) Afterwards, the second-in-commands of the Invisible Mafia were killed with their bodies being stored at a pipe in a mansion outside of Metropolis.

Overview
Personality and attributes
She considered herself a big fan of Lois Lane. (Action Comics v1 #1021) Robinson had said that she had read all of Clark Kent and Lois's Lane work with the two inspiring her to become a reporter. (Action Comics v1 #1023)
The Red Cloud believed that the real reason that Metropolis was always in chaos was because of Superman and that the alien should go back to outer space where he belonged. Upon learning Superman was Clark Kent, she came to no longer admire the reporter of the Daily Planet but instead saw him as an alien that was in her way. In fact, she came to see Superman as someone condescending once she got to know him. (Action Comics v1 #1023)
Powers and abilities
Originally, Robinson was an ordinary human being though one that had a talent as a journalist. It was during one case where she was exposed to an interdimensional event and her body evolved in response. This resulted in a full interdimensional bonding to her body where her form could transform into a cloud of red gaseous substance. She could change from her human form into the Red Cloud where she could dissipate her body into the gas to form or reform at will for quick transportation. Offensively, she could use the gaseous form to flood the lungs of a person and cause them to suffocate to death. (Action Comics v1 #1018)
