Added DiffLines:

* AllTakeAndNoGive: From his point of the view, as the oldest it's his natural right to demand whatever he wants from Garth and Ayla. At no point has he ever done anything to demonstrate why either of them should associate with him for any reason.


Added DiffLines:

* EntitledBastard: He frequently espouses that his siblings should defer to him just because he's older, and thus becomes enraged whenever they defy his orders.

* {{Expy}}: Subverted. Though she bore a strong resemblance to Marvel Comics' ComicBook/{{Medusa|MarvelComics}}, whose primary attribute is also prehensile hair, Spider-Girl is actually the earlier character, appearing a year prior to Medusa's debut in 1965.

Cloning Blues renamed to Clone Angst as per TRS, specifically about angst from a character discovering that they're a clone.


* CloningBlues: It's not clear at which point it happened (possibly after the "first" Ol-Vir's fatal exposure to lead), but by the time he appeared on Rimbor Ol-Vir started looking very much like one of Darkseid's cloned Servants of Darkness.

* FreudianExcuse: If you think [[LonersAreFreaks being a solo counts]]. Most versions of him grew up in a society where not having a twin made you seem like a freak, and as a result he lashed out against others and was abusive towards his younger siblings. Because solos in Winathian society are viewed as the other, it's likely Mekt's mental instability was brushed off as a common trait and thus nothing was done to help his increasingly violent behavior.

* IfICantHaveYou: He's made it clear that if Ayla won't submit to him and become his "twin" then Mekt will kill her the first chance he gets. He's tried repeatedly. She always kicks his ass.


Added DiffLines:

* StalkerWithoutACrush: Mekt is completely obsessed with forcing Ayla to become his "twin," to the point he had Radiation Roy track her down when she left the Legion and bring her to him. He's not deluded enough to believe she ''is'' his twin, but he's deluded enough to believe he can force Ayla into the role and will do anything to make it happen.
