Michael-- I wanted Tempos to be just a little bit of a Bluebeard in this story, and he would have started collecting wives the moment he was able. As for angry parents, well, if it

And you're right that Clarkent's musings do seem a small step away from stealing from the rich and giving to the poor...But our hero is too noble for that, right?
