Very well said. I think the pensive part is lost on people. I think he's always slightly discontent, and that manifests itself into some violent tendencies when provoked. He's always ready for violence, but at rest, he's not itching to fight, just introspective. He's probably most happy when marvelling at a historical feat or archeological curiosity, or having dinner with Ray, with his mind of things. I don't think he enjoys the stress of superheroics all that much.
