Anyways its interesting since while Bane is the more quiet stoic one in combat, he's actually more public and talks to the people, unlike joker who just laughs at them. Seemingly the opposite with Felix and Locus.

And here's one more thing. Everyone says Felix will lose because it looks like he will lose control and break out into rage. Could be, but this has ALREADY happened to Locus, when he gets mad at Wash and tackles him. Seems something less soldier to me... in response to this, well, look at how Locus flew into a rage, his 'bruce banner' personality inside was wounded so his soldier personality kicked in, its a similar response to what most people with DPD would do if one of their personalities were attacked (child gets abused, new personality takes over, grabs dad's gun and shoots him, then shifts all the blame onto other personality). So yes, Locus is fairly unhinged himself. However, he also has a 'bruce banner' way of going about warning people, he is cold, detached and uses his peers perceived opinion of him to keep them away from him, that way he doesn't have to deal with the moral dilema's of which personality might come out when. Like Bruce, and a lot of people with personality disorders similar to this, he isolates himself from society out of fear of what he is. Felix probably knows this, and even when Felix is taunting an unrelated person, it irritates him. So to this end, yes Felix may have an advantage over Locus.

On the other hand, I will admit that my comparison with the Joker was pretty weak, I was just trying to use a comic book equivalent of ASPD rather than sticking with a serial killer like Ted Bundy. But, I will have to stick with Ted on this one, he was sociable, friendly, even saved a kid from drowning and worked charity, always looked like the guy you could trust if you two were stuck alone in the woods. But, like Felix, he had very little remorse (see Felix using a corpse for knife throwing practice, betraying the Rebels without batting an eye, buttering up Tucker and the others and making them think they were a last hope before destroying that hope, etc.) (For Ted, Bundy was regarded as handsome and charismatic by his young female victims, traits he exploited to win their trust. He typically approached them in public places, feigning injury or disability, or impersonating an authority figure, before overpowering and assaulting them at more secluded locations, from there he would revisit the area, and well... google the rest if you are interested its a bit too gruesome for me.. . As a side note, he never showed any remorse). This shows that Felix mirrors the symptoms that Ted also expressed, and, like Ted, he would lack higher emotional reasoning, so it would take a lot more to make Felix lose his cool, but if he snaps, well... (when Ted would snap, he would sneak into a persons house and bash their brains in). Another interesing side effect of this illness is a predisposition to thinking short term (Locus always having to remind him to stick to the plan) and setting themselves up for short term gain even at the cost of longterm loss (Felix Gloating to Tucker about his win to gain the short term feeling of victory without considering any possible repercussions (such as *SPOILERS* Tucker recording the whole thing) ).

As such, both are equally unstable but for different reasons, neither are exactly safe people to be around. But, Felix's instabilities are marginally worse then Locus' in the area of combat if the fight got drawn out longer than he has planned it to.

P.S not that I actually believe this theory is true but just to invite Western Gen to this thread: Meta is alive XD
