Blessed with Suck: He didn't have the psychological strength to handle his super-senses - hearing literally every single cry for help and every little snide comment about him over the cheers drove him increasingly closer to the edge.

Hornet first caught on when Tony accidentally let slip that he'd been spying on his team members and a few people, most notably Max who remembered Tony's time as the "Coalville Wolf Boy", had seen first hand that Tony had serious anger issues and wasn't as perfect as he tried to seem, a fact which infuriated Tony.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Even before his turn to villainy, it was regularly hinted that Tony wasn't quite the endlessly patient, trustworthy figure he seemed to be and that he had serious issues.

To the point where even the villains (except Modeus) trusted him. Once he blew up, not even the other bad guys were evil or powerful enough to stop him. Big Bad: Even before his turn, Plutonian was on a level well above even his allies.The only person that feared this happening was Hornet. Beware the Superman: Once he turned to evil.His trip to the moon for some peace during an attack, which played a major role in his turn, was even brought on by a man he rescued complaining about damage to his boat, causing Tony to get enraged at him. Ingratitude, whether real or perceived, was another major one as Tony couldn't handle not being loved by everyone despite all his heroism.This comes from the fact that Max knows he was the Coalville Wolf Boy years ago, and as such, Tony knows that he knows Tony's not completely perfect. There's also Max Damage, his archenemy.When a representative of Singapore lied to him out of fear, Tony sunk his whole country. He also doesn't like people lying to him.This was brought on by spending his childhood feared, unloved, and bullied, which instilled in him a pathological need to have the entire human race's complete, unconditional love. Berserk Button: His biggest one was his inability to take even the slightest bit of criticism.He kept a determined, warm, and stern face to hide his troubles and present himself as a hero, which is made all the more shocking when he finally decides its enough and he lets out everything that he truly was. Neither was his pathological desire for absolute adoration. Beneath the Mask: Plutonian was a mentally impaired and damaged individual since his childhood and this was something that was not known to nearly anybody be it the populace of the Earth, villains, nor his fellow members in the Paradigm.

Of all the characters, none battle Plutonian more than Max himself, and Plutonian even comes to respect his opposition and determination in stopping him, even when he makes it clear he is never stopping. However, his true enmity is targeted towards Max Damage and the feeling is mutual Max's battle against Plutonian back when they were villain and hero respectively is a sour reminder of why Plutonian isn't as good as everyone else or he himself makes him out to be and Plutonian's turn to villainy and the destruction he causes is enough to make Max reflective over his past actions and eventually become a hero himself.

Arch-Enemy: Nearly anyone can qualify simply because Plutonian did something personally damning to them.

He knows naturally that he is superhuman, but he doesn't know why he has these powers, what he is, or where he's from until his parents show him.
