    Default New Mutants: why does Bobby dislike Doug?

    We see in the original New Mutants run and a little in the current run that Bobby really doesn't like Doug, and it seems to be Bobby who is determined to make an issue of it. Now, we have all met someone who just rubs us the wrong way, but there is never a reason for Bobby's disdain. I have theories about this relationship, but I'd like to hear what you guys think. Why does Bobby hate Doug?

    You want more theories? Bobby is in love with Doug but doesn't want to show it?

    If you're talking about Claremont's run, I'd have to go back and check. But, take my word for it, Bobby really doesn't like Doug.

    I share your opinion.

    IIRC, Berto called Doug 'coward' on panel several times. My personal theory is Berto was raised mainly in a macho-alpha-entrepeneur-preponderant environment, so he finds that male individuals who don't seem to care about being predominant nor badass are disgusting.

    That's in large part why I like Doug and I dislike Berto. That DOESN'T mean at all that I could think Berto is a bad character, BTW.
