This. Hellion literally and figuratively got thrown under a bus, and he's frankly fortunate that HIS didn't explode. Writers pretty much ignore all of his character development throughout Academy X and KYost. The fact that Liu set Hellion up as a punching bag for her own personal issues was pretty unprofessional, too.
