It's deeply disturbing to imagine them sitting down somewhere and planning out how to best fuck with these kids lives such that they never become friends.

Right? There are going to be some reveals that leave them pretty upset. And some of them got to be popular, while some were lonely. Puck and Quinn might not have been directly mind-controlled into having sex, but they wouldn't have with their original identities. CREEPY STUFF GOING ON RIGHT HERE. (This is what happens when you basically tell Emma Frost to be effective in the way she best sees fit. I adore Emma like few other Marvel characters, but seriously, talk about a Slytherin through and through.)

There are just a very few characters I am all right with treating as cardboard cutouts, whether for good or evil. They don't matter to the main plot, I'm not going to spend much time on them, and they're fine to use for establishing an extreme.

Russell Fabray is one of these characters.
