I kinda think Morrison didn't forsee manchester getting a boost from his comics.So,this warning was needed.On the flipside though why is it that "good" guys can't be sexy and charismatic?“I think people have thought Manchester Black is some kind of millennial caricature, because all the Authority members are Gen X, Gen Z, or millennial,” Morrison says. “But he’s a sociopath. People should always remember that. He’s really charismatic and he’s funny and he’s smart, but he’s a sociopath. He’s a monster. He has potential hidden agendas. He’s a master of using the language of anti-oppression to justify oppression and to also protect himself from criticism…He’s way worse than a millennial caricature. He’s a sociopathic monster who’s really sexy and charismatic.”
I loved that line about people sympathising or even empathising with brainiac.
