Even though I like the fact that Virgil was in Young Justice, if only relatively briefly, there are a few problems that I had with the way he was handled. The first problem I had was his personality. Now, I know this is a different universe but they could have at least made him a little smarter than what he was portrayed as. The second problem I have is that they essentially made him a weakling as far as battle capabilities. The only attack that he did throughout his time on the series that worked was when he used his disk to hit some drones in "The Hunt". Which leads me to my next point. His capabilities did not grow much, if at all, from his first episode to the finale. The only thing that he seemed to improve on was his flight speed, they could have at least had him take out some of those drones in the finale. It's like they had him not even trying to learn new things about his powers. As a matter of fact If I recall correctly he only actually shot lightning one time and it completely failed. The over dependency on the disk kind of annoyed me as well.
Anybody care to add to this, or bring up different points?
