Well, we get to see him in his sleeping attire (such as it is) in the first part of episode 2. I think that’s the way he looks all the time. Because if he’s sleeping in the makeup (if it is makeup) and it isn’t mussed-up, you end up thinking that’s just the way he looks. Honestly, I don’t see him putting on makeup just to be sitting around discussing Omniscient’s Dream/Nightmare.
And yes, I don’t think he’s right for Val, either… if only because I find him personally very attractive myself. Is it supervillainish to want him for myself (even if only in my dreams)? I hate to poach someone else’s man, even in my fantasies.
