Been thinking about the Core Four and their roles in relation to each other...
Tim is the smart one, the strategist, the one that brings them all together in the first place, the one that refines their plans, that provides the ambition and the drive to be better.
Cassie is the passionate but level-headed leader, the one who guides the others and channels the chaos in the right direction, the one who fights for them, the protector and the common sense.
Bart is their energy and life, the one who gets them to be in the moment, the one who provides the ideas, the creativity and impulsivity, and the joy, and when he’s upset it affects the others too.
And Kon is their heart, the one that keeps them together, the empathy, the one that has the charisma and motivation and influence, and without him they all go a bit crazy (remember on Apokalips when the entire team split down the middle when Kon was mad at Tim? and remember when Tim tried to clone him, and when Cassie joined a cult, and when Bart was a driving force behind finding him and rescuing him from Gemworld?).
