[ A few moments of silence. Robbie's not dumb, and he knows enough mutants to know that when you start talking about ... lineage. ]

It - it means you're smart. Too smart. I never took Greek or Latin, but I think -iac is a suffix that means taking it too extremes. Hypochondriac, maniac, hemophiliac. I think kids made it up to make fun of the smart guy in the room. Maybe I'm wrong. But - yeah, it's kind of an insult. That's why I don't like using it.

[ Robbie shifts uncomfortably, carding his hands through his hair. He feels guilty as hell, somehow, as if he's making it worse.

It might be considered an insult.

It's reserved for his bloodline.

And the public doesn't like Brainiac, who's the first to try the heroic thing.

Robbie doesn't know if he should use the name, help Brainiac reclaim it the way he did Speedball, or step around it with Brainy. ]

I'd say Brainy's a Smurf and you're the wrong color, but you wouldn't get it. I'll call you what you want, Querl Dox.

[ For now, he'll stick with official, although Rob's unsure if it's one name or two and, if it's two, is one a surname? ]

I know how hard you got to work to get the right one to stick.
