A thought on Statesman.
Now, we all know that he's a bit of a humourless bastion of justice. Thing is though, why? My theory is that he's overcompensating.
Think about it - he was empowered by the spirit of Zeus. Zeus, as any student of Greek mythology knows, is a colossal d-bag. Marcus Cole understood that, was horrified by it, and spent the rest of his life repressing it. The reason he's so tough on fighting dirty and bending the rules is that he has been fighting those urges every day for nearly a century.
It would explain a lot. That's why Tyrant's... well, a tyrant. That's why he has that really weird relationship with his granddaughter. All that happened was that the Marcus Cole of that world either let his inner Zeus out or was simply overpowered. Tyrant is no simple dictator, but the vessel for a bloodthirsty, incestuous, and generally unpleasant god.
Plus, it sort of humanises Statesman, which I'm all for.
