Uhm...Pietro is not an Uncle Tom. Sure, he encourages the heroes and especially Penny. But there's a reason for that. Penny, in his own view and he even stated so, is more then a project he created. He views her as his daughter. He's doing what, arguably, many parents would do for their children. Making a sacrifice for her. If Penny had been his biological or even adopted daughter, you wouldn't have said a thing I bet.

Furthermore, think about what Pietro is. Pietro is a high-ranking and likely wealthy sciencetist. But rather then stay up in Atlas and mingle among the rich and powerfull or act like a snob, he seems to stick mostly to Mantle, and helps the people anyway he can, free of charge if I remember correctly, with many of his patients being primarily poor and of discriminated classes, like the faunus.

You see a weak old man whose sole goal is to pamper a girl? I see an old man who had great oppurtunities, but choose to spend his time and efforts on helping the less unfortunate and using his briljance for good (as opposed to someone like Watts or Merlot) and, like any parent, is willing to sacrifice anything for his daughter. Pietro is a hard-working, selfless indvidual who cares for the people many in Atlas (literally) look down upon. He's a good samaritan, a good man and a good father. To call him a weak old man is, frankly, both insulting and disgusting.
