Doug laughed. This guy was hilarious. His whole persona made it hard to believe that people might fear or distrust his motives. Though when Spider-Man tried to reverse the honors, it sobered Doug up real quick. "Just one of them, really... I'm more on the outside looking in, or did you not notice that blindfold I wore."
He took a breath. "I'm a mutant. I process language and other forms of pattern recognition, and they didn't want to chance me stumbling across any sensitive information. Batgirl is teaching me how to fight, and we're kind of... seeing each other, if you can call it that. It's complicated, but it boils down to, I'm not really one of them."
He folded his arms and shrugged. "Maybe I should change my name to Pariah."
