Doesn’t like civilian casualties

Not interested in destruction

Enjoys their friendly bouts as a mental exercise

Very clearly a bad guy, but not a bad guy - And that’s why Aurora is the leader! Her sparkling intuition

But I sure wonder what his ultimate goal is here:

  • Observe their powers, invent more things, get the power source returned to him, power his inventions

  • Help them with the day-to-day troubles so that he can be their one and only antagonist, but not because he likes them or anything, baka!

  • Legitimately just help them! Fighting bad guys is also a mental challenge, right?

He could also set up The Perfect Betrayal^([TM]), but that’s not really in the cards

Edit: oh yeah, loved it! Great job 😊

It's like... uh, Wreck-it-Ralph. He's a bad guy, but not a bad guy.

And yeah, I left it vague on purpose! It'd probably end up becoming either anti-hero, mentor... or just like the "one and only antagonist." Point it that betrayal isn't in the cards, as you sad.

It's the best type of villain! A threat, yes, but more than willing to fight with the heroes if they feel like there's a bigger threat or such. Or they just feel so inclined.
