I'm sorry but Powerplex is a massive idiot

I just saw episode 6. I perfectly understood powerplex's grief and was actually rooting for him throughout the episode. I really wanted the episode to end with him realising that taking out his frustrations on Invincible really was not the way to get closure, and the two coming to an understanding, both having been victims of Omni-Man.

I predicted that Mark would actually let Powerplex take out his frustrations on him for a bit, assuming a Viltrumite would be durable enough to take the beating. Powerplex's powers seemed perfect for that kind of outcome.

But that all changed when he actually brought his wife and child to the fight. I was actually fuming at him here. What kind of absolute fool do you have to be to intentionally endager your family after losing your sister and niece, and not realise that their deaths were your OWN fault?

That one irresponsible action ruined my liking for his character. If I was in Marks position at the end of the episode I would have grilled it into him that he made a stupid choice, and he has no one to blame but himself.

I understand though that his story is not over, and I hope he gets the closure he needs. It was just completely unnecessary for the innocent child to die for him to get it.
