Fun things to do with the Protege’s Mentor:
– they are in prison
– they are family
– they are dead and you only communicate through visions/memories/mystical summons
– they forced it all on you
– you were always their second choice
– you blackmailed them into training you
– they are very overprotective
– they only took you in because they know you otherwise would become a supervillain
– you are their clone
– both of you were sent from another planet, you were older and should protect them but you got caught in the…. okay just the premise of Supergirl okay?

Maine’s a daughter of a family of con-artists and manipulators and her father is one of the best to come out of this family in ages. He has been teaching his daughter to follow in his path, twisting and manipulating the rich and powerful with mercilessness. At least until he was caught and arrested under mysterious circumstances.
In the aftermath, Maine attached herself to a “school friend” who was special and a bit a naive whom she could get to help her out. A lot of people think she’s passed on some bad habits to her friends, in addition to often being willing to do things other people wouldn’t approve of. She has since even been termed a “Poison” by one of the other team members and the name stuck as her code name.
they only took you in because they know you otherwise would become a supervillain
That’s Avengers Academy 😛
Actually, taking her from the story I used her in she was going to basically use a combination of emotional blackmail and manipulation to instill herself in the area near the superschool and get an excuse to hang out with the other characters while maintaining a balance of too dangerous to betray and being useful enough not to be turned in to the faculty.
-They’re a 2nd string hippie hero, but they’re the only one who think teens can fight crime
They themselves are still the Protege to an even older hero who thinks that training someone else would be the next step for their former sidekick.
