Happy Disability Pride Month!!!!
(Also, side note: pretty much the ENTIRE cast of mtmte have something mentally going on. Standouts would be Whirl, Red Alert, Fort Max, and the Scavengers as evidenced above, but there’s a case to be made for any member of the cast having some mental disorder.)
(SPEAKING OF WHIRL he underwent empurata, a politically motivated mutilation that swapped his helm out for the one eye we know and replaced his hands with claws. So physical disability there as well. Shockwave and Damus have also undergone empurata)
Spinister is described as an "idiot savant" somewhere, I think maybe in a dramatis personae similarly to Misfire above. That's an old term for savant syndrome/autistic savant (the term is also applied to people with other intellectual disabilities). To me this is enough to consider Idw1 Spinister to be textually disabled. Although who knows if his whole deal is congenital or acquired.
