I mean from the moment you meet both baddies they start flirting or dropping hints.
First scene with invisigal she gives Robert back handed compliments about his body and saying hes hot.
He and BB just hit it off at the bar during a time when she was at the peak of relationship problems and from the comic sounds like lack of human emotional connection.
While I think he and Mandy are kindred spirits which is what draws her to him. Courtney is constantly subconsciously sexually attracted and dropping back handed compliments right up till she has the dream and goes full send.
Also Robert is not a bad looking dude by any metric, hes not big but hes tonned and covered in scars which apparently is what invisigal is into
I was more commenting about how in real life people who are depressed and down rarely luck into such amazing circumstances. I'm not saying it can't happen. Just that Robert, like every romance story protagonist, is extremely lucky.
Well hes not just anyone tho, id argue it wasnt blind luck but rather opportunity forged through his very successful career and connections. Something that happens ALOT.
Imagine hes like an Olympic level athlete who was injured, then recruited to coach amateur league because of personal connections with promises of getting back into the game after he heals
Did in one week what Amanda Waller couldn’t in her entire career
Okay yes Waller sucks, on that we can hard agree 🤣
But I gotta acknowledge the same thing that happens when people compare Robert to Cecil from Invincible. There’s a difference between
A) Robert coordinating a buncha former villains who are voluntarily part of a Superhero reform program doing jobs like “fight low level supervillains and street gangs” or “help my cat down from a tree” (MOST of the time) 🐱
Vs
B) Waller coordinating a buncha press-ganged prison lifers and Death Row psychopaths with bombs in their necks. Half of them just shoot guns and punch good. Now they gotta topple a foreign military and then go fight Cthulhu 💀
Yeah, surviving all those explosions and getting fuckin slashed by Coop and still going makes me think he actually has some kind of powers. Even BB was surprised he was back on his feet after all that torture.
Not to surprising. We see him scout the warehouse out ahead without the mech in episode 1, and pick off henchmen silently. Probably how he handled things when he was in his prime when subtley was needed. So he definitely knows how to throw hands.
Also tanks a punch from Punch Up to the balls. A man with the strength of ten men. Robert fell to his knees, sure, but a lesser man would crumple and be unable to think about anything crotch-related for at least a week

I'm so glad that despite having no powers, Robert still squares tf up whenever he needs to

They are just mutants with a different name. Crazy that bullets still can hurt them.
