i saw a surge of mal submissions, so i want to share my favorite rewrite of the character. he gets frontstuck in all-stars, like canon, but instead of faking he's mike to manipulate people, he pretends to be mike because he has no idea where he is. clearly people know mike, but do they know he's a system? mal doesn't know!
so the season is full of 'mike' just being abnormally weird instead of mean. the subplot is the other alters trying to get mal un-frontstuck. there's no reset button, just a lot of, "oohhh we never got the chance to tell him we're on tv.."
of course, when he finds out they're on a reality show for the second time, mal's understandably like "why are we on television?! who's idea was this?!"
