** He's an alien, he doesn’t really have the same moral obligations and feelings as humans. Remember that he actually WAS a normal kid (for an alien) for all of his life UNTIL the initial activation of the ship. And even during the initial stages of his ‘activation’, much of his behavior does fall within expected 12-year-old child behavior. Getting angsty, being moody, and having (sexual) urges is not like a rare thing for kids at his age (and during puberty, too boot)! All of what he done (while being obviously wrong) are still human emotions and reactions coming into play. It’s just now it’s being experienced by someone who lacks the mental maturity to understand stuff to make the right decisions here. It was definitely more of a nature vs. nurture concept, he returns to being his old self when he listened to his mother but when she tried to kill him, he felt beyond hurt. The one thing that kept pulling him back from no return, just tried to kill him. That's where he "died". It’s that betrayal that fully pushes him into the point of no return. He could be a good kid just going through puberty without mostly any issues, but once that ship activated, he's forced down no matter what.

*** Yes, it's not really a deconstruction of the Superman character and origin story, as most of us probably assumed it would be. The premise is less "What if Superman caved to the temptations of absolute power?" and more "What if the Kents adopted a {{Tykebomb}} programmed to destroy the Earth?" Brandon is simply an evil alien wasp.
