Legion of Superheroes permanently altering our brain chemistry at a formative age
the serotonin this show gives me is unquestionable
They were the queer couple that very closeted me didn't know I needed but appreciated as I entered middle and high school environments.
and also one of the prettiest morally grey characters of all time who I appreciate being queer coded and confirmed in comics who was really my gateway drug into relating hard to villains (aka the foretelling of my obsession with Loki)
I didn't like Mekt much but I do hate seeing him only utilized as a villain, as if Legion Worlds didn't happen.
Where is the Mekt who admitted that he was wrong to let his loneliness and jealousy dictate how he acted? Where is the Mekt that worked to be better? Where is the Mekt who welcomed Ayla home and put himself in harms way to help her save their parents farm? Where is the Mekt that delighted at the idea of seeing Garth again and was sad to hear he wasn't really coming back?
I don't know. Maybe it's just me but Mekt works so much better as a character of redemption and reconciliation than as one who stays bitter and antagonistic. He's more interesting that way
