He's being a bastard to my favorite blonde! Of course I hate his guts,

But then, you take a step back, shift point of view, and note that he's actually a pretty damn good agent for Cinder. And you appreciate the character that RT have given him - cocky bastard.

As for who gets to beat who... I'm ranking Mercury and Emerald in the low ranks of the grown-ups like Qrow or Winter. RWBY, JNPR, and even CFVY are the "kids". Pyrrha is probably at the top of the kids' pool, about to jump over into the grown-ups pool. Mercury should be able to beat her on a good day.

Frankly, Neo scares the hell out of me. Emerald and Mercury are soldiers who like their jobs, which includes killing people now and then. Neo loves her job. She's a psychopath, and she fights smart.
