Poor Victor is not evil, just socially incompetent

Like, how was it written on Ekko's lore? Both Viktor and Jayce show great interest in his time tech.

So it's kinda like that:

"Oh this technology is amazing. I shall observe and study it, so I can steal, uhm, I mean RE-BUILD it for the potential it could have for the city, no, for the WORLD!"

"Oh this technology is amazing! Only a true genius could come up with something like that - a genius who would truly understand the goals of my Glorious Evolution! It's like a potential... friend? I NEED TO TALK WITH HIM! Wait... how does one make friends? thinks about this for several minutes Ah whatever, the most efficient approach should be enough. HENCHMEN, GO OUT AND BRING ME THAT BOY! ALIVE!"

I think it should be a running gag that Viktor is not actually evil, but misunderstandings like that are the reason everyone is scared of him.

This would be hilarious and fitting as both him and Jayce are socially inept. Only their appearances are judged in most cases.

Has Jayce ever stolen anything?

Have to be careful here, because you could stray very close, if not into, saturday cartoon villain territory. A personal thought I had about Viktor's "low-level enforcers" is that perhaps they are children? Viktor gives kid members of the Evolution that are around Ekko's age really really cool augments and tells them to befriend the boy persuade him to join the Evolution, or failing that, bring him back by force. Just a thought that occurred to me while trying to think of why Viktor would try to "persuade" Ekko with augmented low-level enforcers.

It would be even better to get a scene where someone comes to Viktor's house for lunch or something and vik just doesn't know what to do the entire time and is just freaking out.

I always thought the problem with viktor was that his thought process is done by binary. One or zero, do or dont. Thats why he always goes to the most radical comclusions that inflate to hillarious proportions
