Yoc:
Yeah, that was an odd way to introduce his mentor...

They rob a bank at gunpoint and he helps! Can you imagine any other superhero in that genre doing anything like that? He is a criminal hanging with a criminal gang. No hero. Not at all. Terrible, terrible scripting to have him do that.

--- End quote ---

It's really nothing new.  Stan Lee had such characters as Hawkeye, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver start out as villains and/or working with villains as mentors back in the 1960s.  All of them eventually left the crime connections behind to become full fledged heroes.

I saw a portion of it and was underwhelmed. I don't plan on watching it.

 I finally had a chance to watch an episode; I can't say I was disappointed because I had low expectations but I'm not sorry I can't watch it on a regular basis.
