Biography
An accomplished stunt man and daredevil performer, Ryan is known for his athletic ability and fearless attitude towards extreme sport. He was scheduled to appear on a radio program with pilot Ace Morgan, scientist Walter "Prof" Haley, and boxer Rocky Davis. After their plane crashes in the Rocky Mountains, the four men emerge from the wreckage alive and unscathed. Deciding to band together, they form the Challengers of the Unknown and embark on a career of adventuring.
During one of their adventures, Ryan is supposed killed off, and his younger brother, pop star Marty "Tino Manarry" Ryan, joins the team in his absence. However, Red soon returns to the team, and Marty leaves after receiving injuries that render him blind.
Alternate Versions
Red Ryan appears prominently with the rest of the Challengers in Darwyn Cooke's miniseries DC: The New Frontier. This version of the character is portrayed as a James Dean-type rebel who struggles with the near-fatal plane crash. Unable to get it out of his mind, he meets up with Morgan, Haley and Davis, who resolve to seek adventure and explore the unknown. They participate in the attempted space rescue of Rick Flag and the defence against [[The Centre{Dinosaur Island]].
In Other Media
During Justice League: The New Frontier, Red Ryan appears in a nonspeaking cameo role.
Ryan appears in an episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, voiced by Ioan Gruffudd.
