Talk:Mercury Black/@comment-226878-20140728000651

So the fact that his last name is Black makes him the antithesis to Yang... okay, why not? But that doesn't explain why the character is Mercury. There are other characters who use their feet/legs as weapons that could have been chosen and Mercury's sandals aren't a weapon, they just allow him to fly. So why Mercury? What is it about him that connects to this team or serves to make him a direct antithesis to Yang (based on Goldilocks who had to have everything "just right")... He is sometimes described as being a mischief-maker, I suppose that could be the opposite of "just right."
