You'd think constant contact around lead despite the serum would make him a bit crazy.
The Eltro Gand revelation may explain a few things (or at least validate the later Proty-Garth revelation), but I don't like the idea of it explaining temper tantrums, indecisiveness, or other personality "weaknesses." This suggests that Mon-El was perfect before Eltro started mucking with his mind.
I never thought of lead as something that might make him uncomfortable, though.

Mon-El lived in the Phantom Zone! I just don't imagine him all that happy. I like somber Mon-El.
The Cap analogy is very interesting and fitting, Jorge. I hadn't thought of them both being men out of their time.
I think Mon adjusted to his circumstances better than Steve Rogers did. Mon was able to put it all behind him, except in unusual circustances such as the villain (Memory?) manipulating his thoughts. Steve Rogers seemed to wallow in self-pity during the early '70s. He spent a lot of time in self-reflection and wondering who he was. Mon didn't seem to have those issues.
