[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 2139274, member: 19130"] Actually, Dwight's stated purpose in going after Jack was to keep him from hurting anyone, not to kill him. And he tried to keep the schmuck from killing himself during Jack's "fight" with Miho, not once but several times warning him of some danger. He would probably have intervened before Miho attacked if he could have, and told, uhm, Rosario Dawson, what's her character's name...? Anyway, told them not to be too hasty killing the cop and his posse. The plastic surgery thing is morally questionable, but well within genre "good guy" status - he was manipulated by a wicked dame into killing her husband. Apparently the Old Town prostitutes were the ones who helped him beat the rap, which is why he seems bizarrely loyal to them. This info is from a website I dug up after seeing the movie. The Champions character sheet for Dwight on that page had him with the psychological disadvantage "sex makes him stupid", so that explains some of the other stuff. Of course, he's still not a clear-cut good guy, like Hartigan, but that's kinda the point. In fact, I spent most of the Yellow Bastard arc wondering how on earth such a morally strong person could exist in a place as corrupt and, well, [I]evil[/I] as Sin/Basin City. Oh, and the he didn't shoot first in the whole episode with the IRA mercs. They dacked him with a sniper rifle before he even saw them. The "fight" with the mob guys is less clear-cut, but still easily within the range of this genre's heroes. That said, I didn't like the Dwight episode much either. Too little set-up to do what they did with the character and the Rosario Dawson prostitute just irked me. [/QUOTE]
