"This isn't...how it's supposed to be. This is my mind. Mine. I am a 12th-level intellect. I am capable of complete mental control."
He needs something to bring order to the chaos.
"The digits of pi are as follows: Three-point-one-four-one-five--nine-two-six-five-three--"
Science is his refuge. Math is his home. The universe can be quantified--and the things that can't be are a joy to unravel. There is order, scientific and social, there are such things as justice.

Emotional responses are chaotic. He has facts.
Fact # 1: He is not a child anymore--he's a Legionnaire.
Fact # 2: His mother doesn't love him.
Fact # 3: His mother tried to kill him.
Fact # 4: She failed, and he doesn't need her--he has the Legion.
Fact # 5: She has no power over him.
Fact # 6: No one has power over him, not his insane mother, not Colugov, not Earthgov. He determines his own fate.
