The Amazing Orion is the leader of the Teen Team, appearing only in Teen Team Time (2004).
Personality[]
At first, Orion is shown to be quite responsible. As someone who takes his job seriously and cares about his friends.
However, he later reveals that he (like the rest of Team Tean) have a bitter resentment towards “normies” (the people of the planets they visit that aren’t superpowered) due to having been branded freaks on their planets.
Though he initially seemed serious about crime fighting and friendly, as soon as he and the rest of the Team decided it was time to leave earth they were uninterested in helping the planet anymore, even when a monster was on a rampage right infront of him. This would indicate that his career as a superhero is more about wanting to be praised rather than any actual care for the general public or morals. He was also unwilling to help fight even when Jenny and Misty decided to fight it themselves, instead choosing to watch and enjoy the fight (even telling Misty he was rooting on the frog monster) showing he can be very callous to his friends/allies if they disagree with him.
It was eventually revealed that he left the team to take up ballet, proving that he truly cared little to nothing for using his powers to help people.
