I'm online and off work tomorrow so I'll be up posting tonight and be in titanpad soon. I like Kid Rock, the uber American singer I can't stand is Toby Kieth.My opinion on Patriot, his heart is in the right place. To me he comes off almost exactly like early 90's Superboy. Talks about his powers and shows off a bit, thinks he's the next Superman,etc. he actually tries to be a cardboard cutout hero. When I get around to the why we're in Star City I think he'll have room for growth as far as personality and how Superman view this Cadmus clone as opposed to Superboy. ~KL~

i wouldn't call him a cardboard cutout superhero, especially in today's world where it is hard to find nice people who aren't ether snobs or jerks of some kind. like with Superman, I feel like Patriot's edge is that he has to prove to himself and others that there can be good people. I don't believe you need to have a violent or brooding crime fighter to have a hero with a lot of depth, Superman vs The Elite proves that it's easy to give into extreme violence but it takes a real hero to know when to not cross that line, not to mention Patriot is a teenager, many teenagers really like showing off their talents, its very common. I think of Patriot as a person who is a great human despite not being entirely human which is an allegory of people who are different can teach others how to better themselves.
