Is that from Garth Ennis going on record, literally saying, "I hate Apollo"? Or is that just your conjecture?
I'm asking because there's a scene in one of the Kev books where Midnighter is facing off against a bunch of SAS guys and he's trying to plan out how they're going to defeat them and Apollo says, hey, wait a sec, do we really have to kick these guy's heads off? It's one of the best Apollo scenes that anyone (including Warren Ellis) has written, IMO.
