I never read the comics, so my only impressions of him were from Season 1. Even in Season 1 not much was disclosed about him, but the dude is Abraham Lincoln. I always thought of him as being wise, amiable and good natured. Now he just kind of seems like an asshole, and that whole hooking up with Kate thing definitely brought his moral code down a few pegs in my eyes. I can’t blame his misgivings about Invincible, but why is he a jerk to everyone else? Maybe you just stop caring after a couple millennia.
Pretty sure he was supposed to be a dick and a joke character because of how useless he is compared to omni man and invincible.
