Steven is kinda a worry wart.
We all are, I’m guessing, when it comes to the very specific things that worry us in particular.
Other stuff, that worries other people? Well, we’re oblivious and unhelpful at worrying about that stuff.
Docta Pain knows how to motivate roller derby girls… and doctors.
This is the classic thing to do with a foreign enemy.
You demonize him up really, really good. That way, YOUR team knows that YOU’RE the GOOD GUYS, and those other guys don’t love their children and defame celebrities that you admire, and also they don’t wash properly and eat food that isn’t good at all, when they eat, which isn’t often, and they have bad teeth, too, partly because of the food but partly because of lousy genetics which people from HERE don’t get because YOUR people floss like respectable, civilized people. Well, not every day like you’re supposed to, but sometimes floss. More than bad foreigners who slap the queen with disguised fish do, anyhow.
When we were kids, my brother and I fought. Rarely fisticuffs. It was usually just mouthing off at each other.
I learned, at one point, if I just kept standing there talking and not letting him get a word in edgewise, I could irritate him to the point where he just left in a huff.
To my mind, that was winning. As I got older, I realized that it was me being a jerk.

Isn’t psychology fun?
Kara’s dad is loosely based on a teacher I knew a long time ago. I probably didn’t understand him at all, but what I decided way back then about him works pretty well as a cartoon character. Who I was at the time would work pretty well as a cartoon character, too, now that I think of it.
There’s a lot of kinds of doctors, and there’s no reason to go excluding any of them when you’re building a team. Right?
Docta Pain. Yeah. That might come up again.
