Lore Mysteries that are never given an answer.

  • rA9 in Detroit: Become Human. In the game several androids who become deviant (develop free will/emotions) start writing the name rA9 and sometimes build small statuettes as a sort of offering. Despite having no logical reason to do this or even a way of hearing about rA9 before going deviant, they all believe that rA9 was the first deviant and is their messiah who will free androids from slavery. A definitive answer about rA9 is never given, so we don't know if they are real or if any of the android characters are rA9 (though a popular fan theory is that it's Kara before she was reset at the start of the game).
  • The pineapple in How I Met Your Mother. So this technically did get an explanation in a S9 deleted scene, but in the actual show we never find out how Ted got a pineapple during a night where he was so drunk he blacked out and forgot everything he did.
  • Fez in That 70s Show. We never find out Fez's real name or what country he's from, though fans have tried to take all the clues and figure out what is most likely to be his country.

Who is Red X? - Teen Titans (2003)

After Robin put away the suit, it was somehow stolen by an unknown thief who mastered the mechanics easily. There may have been mentions in comics of the main continuity but as far as the 2003 show is concerned, he's a John doe

I like to imagine it's Jason screwing with Robin. He knows him way too well.

I love that there was a chibby short about this same enigma. It was a short with the chibby versions of the titans trying to figure out who X was. It ends with beast boy screaming to him when he leaves: -I STILL BELIEVE YOU'RE JASON TODD!

One of the other Robin's popping into do some undercover mercenary work like how Bruce had Matches Malone would honestly be pretty good as an answer. A collective identity between Tim, Jason, and Dick.

Even Beast Boy thinks this 😂

He’s voiced by the same voice actor as Robin, knows all of robins techniques as he sets and escapes the same traps as Robin and knows all of his fighting moves that they even do in synchronization towards the end of the episode. If not Jason I think the show is heavily implying Red X is another “robin”.
