* TheWoobie: [[TheHero Mace]]. Life is not kind to him at all, having to grow up in an orphanage looking out for himself and two others (Whip and Paige), which is basically on the outskirts on civilisation, where the head-keeper isn't above using the kids there for labour. Two of the only people he could rely on mysteriously left (to join an underground resistance) and then one of the two left, Paige, is brutally killed, with ''him'' blamed for it. As the series continues, the rest of the group he joins are able to unlock their Powers, yet he cannot seem to even tap into it slightly. [[spoiler: Even the message from a mysterious spirit that claims he's TheChosenOne and needs to uniquely unlock his Power doesn't improve his lot; '''nobody''' believes him, not even his friends, getting labelled as delusional and basically rendering him unable to get help unlocking it; his hardened former caretakers don't have the time to be patient with him, and only by getting marked by an unstoppable invisible assassin is he able to travel to his needed location. With all this piled on him, and essentially forced into a shadowy conspiracy by forces beyond his control, it's left many readers wondering if Mace will even bother saving the world if he ever gets his Power; to paraphrase some of them, Mace doesn't really owe the world much.]]

** Given that he is in deep cover running the orphanage/safe house, isn't it reasonable to believe every aspect of Grunn's character is a put-on? I speculate he mistreats the orphans to maintain appearances and to toughen them up for the approaching conflict, a form of tough love. That he remains in character even when with his allies is just a measure of how committed he is to living his cover.

Why is it me who has to correct this? I haven't read this comic since I was a teen.

** Namely, two of the orphans ''do not'' belong under Grunn's care ''at all'': Mace and Vi. Mace is a prankster and rebellious - And Vi is a teenage girl who's having her dreams slowly crushed in the same way Grunn probably did (In her case, dreams of being a fashion designer) ''and'' has a hairtrigger temper to match his. It's hard to tell which prospect would make one question the point of getting out of bed. A bed which, by the way, probably has bugs considering the orphanage's condition.

* EvilIsCool: Averted with Randy. No illusion is made that he is anything other than a pathetic egotistical sycophant. Being an unrepentant murder doesn't change that.
