10. Querl Dox has two very disparate views of himself. Deep down, he sort of realizes he's a good person, and a hero, and he's proud of himself for turning the moniker "Brainiac" into a heroic one.
...But part of him still thinks that there is nothing valuable to him beyond his intellect. This is why he often resented the Legion at times for treating him like a solution machine that they pushed a button and got answers from, rather than treating him like a person, because it was a stinging reinforcement of the idea that he was only valuable for his brain.
He feels like he was not valuable enough to cause his mother to develop an attachment, and after being treated like an object with a very useful facet, he tends to view his intellect as the most valuable part of himself, rather than who he actually is.
This leads to a weird dichotomy, where he's exceedingly arrogant about his 12th-level intellect, but inwardly, has horrible self esteem. A big part of his ego is inflating the importance of his intellect so he feels better about himself. If he ever lost his intellectual capacity permanently, he would possibly try to kill himself, because so much of his self esteem is invested in his intellect, and he thinks he's useless without it.
11. (Because I like to take it one step beyond! Well, ten steps. I'm going to 20) At one time, he had a holo collection from Legion World's security cameras of several of his team-mates in states of undress. He is seriously sexually repressed, and kind of perverted and deviant as a result.
12. He always had wanted a little brother or sister, so he wouldn't be alone. Now, in his mind, he did have a brother. Past tense.
13. He still wants a mommy, and will probably bond with Dr. Yewande to have the first healthy maternal relationship of his life.
14. Without his facial implants, he'd actually be quite insane. Aside from allowing him a link-up to control the shields of his shield belt, they double as personality inhibitors that help him control his thoughts. He is so smart that he can barely function.
15. Like most Legionnaires, he's a vegetarian. (Not a vegan, though, he will eat dairy). His favorite Earth food is cheesecake, and even if there weren't all those other good things about Earth that there are, he'd think the planet ought to exist just for that.
16. Some of his early inventions were sold in shady dealings by Colugov to the the Titanians and the Braalians and helped cause a great deal of death and destruction during the Titan-Braal War. He now highly resents when his inventions and innovations are used by unscrupulous persons to hurt people and this is why he's so paranoid about sharing information from his omnicom.
