I’ve been thinking about Winter, that cut character from Dispatch that may show up in season two
He was described as a kpop star, so I don’t think it’s a stretch to think he just might be Korean. And then if we work on the assumption that Robert is half-Korean, we’ve got an interesting dynamic
Winter is a semi-famous to famous musician who is doing some espionage on the side. Mecha Man caught him once, but the man paid enough money to walk free. Because of this, Mecha Man starts out hating Winter, but the musician is more idly curious about Mecha Man
As they keep crossing paths, they learn more about each other. Robert comes to empathize with Winter because he’s being exploited as a musician and is only doing spy work to get medicine for his powers which will freeze him alive otherwise
Winter, mostly, bonds with Robert because spending time with Robert is just good for the soul. Though Robert’s rusty, he knows Korean, letting Winter speak in his native tongue. And then Robert is so kind and hardworking despite it all that Winter starts feeling less nihilistic about humanity. He even starts feeling a bit protective over Robert and this goodness inside him, almost like an older brother
And then, skipping to post-game, Winter comes to see Robert’s new job. The Z-Team do not like him, at least at first
Flambae and Winter have opposing powers. Flambae is also obviously jealous because it’s just gotta be Flambert with me
Prism is a bit prickly about Robert being close with another pop star
Those are the ones I was thinking of, anyway. But Winter is just a chill guy (pun intended). Just like the beginning of his relationship with Robert, he doesn’t care that they hate him because he’s both curious about them and because he sees the good they’re doing Robert
