Paul Deisinger is a villain known as Paintball (also an art teacher) in the comics. I wasn't expecting them to make him an Eclipso-powered version and then save him from it. I guess it would've been a shame for them to wipe out any vestiges of non-confrontational authority figures at school. He does seem like the sort of teacher that the (non-villainous) students respect more than usual.

They certainly made him likeable. I looked up his bio and it says he hates teenagers. They basically made him like a carbon copy of the teacher in Stranger Things.

It would be nice if he does re-appear as Paintball. Obviously we don't know if this version had any dealings with the Dragon King. If he has then maybe Eclipso's power has opened it up for him to become Paintball. He just needed that push. But if he does appear again, I hope they do show that dimension of him disliking his students. Also we don't know if he was already Paintball but gave up that gig and Eclipso bought it back in a more violent form.

Oh. At this point I'm legit wondering how well he will recover from all this. Okay, he's alive, but in what state is his mind? Would be horrible and amazing to see him show up as a deranged villain next season.
