Jacqueline King, her wife Christine Trelane, and her brother Malcolm; representatives of the Monarchy.
Previously trading under the names Battalion and Strafe, the King siblings where the children of infamous metahuman Isaiah King aka Despot of the War Guard, a militant offshoot of STORM formed during the chaos of Bendix’s death and the defections of Gamorra and Dowling. While the official story lists Despot as dead at the hands of his daughter and John Colt, this actual fate remains a mystery.
The Monarchy would come years later, after Jacqui had married former Skywatch agent Chris Trelane, and decided that Jenny Sparks and groups like the Authority had become too dangerous to humanity.
After bringing her brother--now calling himself Belleraphon after encountering and absorbing a bizarre meta-material into his body--on board, King began recruiting members in earnest...with the blessing of The Monarch themselves.

King’s harshest and most famous criticism of Malcolm X, in which he accused his fellow civil rights leader of “fiery, demagogic oratory,” appears to have been fabricated.
“I think its historic reverberations are huge,” Eig told The Washington Post. “We’ve been teaching people for decades, for generations, that King had this harsh criticism of Malcolm X, and it’s just not true.”
The quote came from a January 1965 Playboy interview with author Alex Haley, a then-43-year-old Black journalist, and was the longest published interview King ever did. Because of the severity of King’s criticism, it has been repeated countless times, cast as a dividing line between King and Malcolm X. The new revelation “shows that King was much more open-minded about Malcolm than we’ve tended to portray him,” Eig said.
[...]
Some of the phrases added to King’s answer appear to be taken significantly out of context, while others appear to be fabricated.
It is a standard practice in journalism when publishing Q&A-style interviews to make minor changes, such as removing excessive “ums” or truncating long answers where the subject repeats their point over and over again or wanders from the topic at hand. But journalists typically take great pains to ensure any changes do not alter the intended meaning of an interviewee’s response. In addition, outlets commonly will include an editor’s note informing the reader of such changes.
What Haley appears to have done amounts to “journalistic malpractice,” Eig said.

Why is Peter Capaldi so hot? Part Four.
[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3]
What is sexier than (6-7) personal devotion and (8) correct political opinions? This concluding installment of "Why is Peter Capaldi so hot?" will address what we know of the life and beliefs of Peter Capaldi's public persona.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. His 40+ year relationship with Elaine Collins
With the caveat that you can never really understand anything about other people's marriages, especially people you don't actually know, everything Peter Capaldi has publicly said about his marriage paints a picture of a lifetime of devotion.
To give one example, in an interview with Larry King he explains that his relationship with his wife was essentially his first relationship, and that he has been in love with her since he was 23 years old (this topic starts around 16:20):
youtube
Another anecdote I find particularly compelling is his general reluctance to take off his wedding ring, which led to both Malcolm Tucker and the twelfth Doctor wearing wedding bands.

7. His 60+ year relationship with Doctor Who
I don't mean to suggest that Peter Capaldi's life-long love of Doctor Who is in any way equivalent to his marriage, but I do think they are two elements of a personality that seems (again, from the outside) to be grounded in the joys of long-term commitment.
It is widely known that he was a big fan as a kid:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But there is also plenty of evidence that his love for the show hasn't faded:

Tumblr media Tumblr media
8. His lefty politics
It is easy to find photographic evidence of Peter Capaldi at demonstrations for women's rights, climate justice, labor rights, etc. In most long-form interviews, he expresses some form of condemnation of recent Tory governments, advocacy for public services like the BBC and the NHS, and anti-austerity (and sometimes more openly anti-capitalist) ideas.
Take, for example, this article, which includes a discussion of the no-longer-operative social programs that allowed him to go to art school and how all forms of art are harmed when the privileged classes have differential access to arts training:
He's loved Doctor Who since 1963, and shows no signs of stopping. He's loved his wife since 1983, and shows no signs of stopping. He has not allowed his professional success to obscure his vision of the role of class and material deprivation in British society, and he uses his celebrity to advocate for social justice and the public good. Hot.
That is the view from where I sit. Peter Capaldi is hot because of his physical characteristics, his mannerisms, his skills, because the characters he plays are hot, and because all evidence suggests that in real life he is a genuinely nice person. It is a holistic, ineffable feature of his personhood.

Okay, so, hear me out—
We've got our square share of Riko-Neil's-abusive-ex fanfiction, and the idea is wonderful, truly delicious! But.
What if...it was Lola?
Like— let's pretend for a second that Nathan isn't that bad. A local mobster perhaps. Or just an average alcoholic, throwing kitchen knives at his son during the long benders.
Lola works for him and is—obviously—obsessed with the man (eww)
She is older than Nathan's son, Nathaniel —let’s say about a ten-year difference — and the boy is so delicious! He looks just like a younger version of Nathan himself and is way easier to manipulate. (yes, I'm thinking about this part of the king's men)
Tumblr media
So she does manipulate him, abuse even. Clearly it's grooming, 'cuz when she starts Nate is still a minor, and that helps her to build an even stronger connection between them.
Nathaniel Wesninski knows that he is just a more amenable replacement for his father. He hates her. But he's way too deep in that shit to stop, because her continuous manipulation has paid off.
So he suffers. Nurtures his silly little crush on the best friend and surrenders all his resolve to not drag Andrew into his mess — ever the martyr.
Nathan sees everything and doesn't give a fuck.
Andrew sees everything and hates himself for making a deal with Neil, according to which the rabbit gets to fight his own battles.
Foxes are foxes.
Riko is a bitch, but otherwise harmless.
And perhaps Stuart saves his unlucky nephew once again.
Am I writing this? Yes
