Two Identities two Arch Nemesis

If Mr. Midnight is the arch nemesis of Titan than without a doubt Vince is the arch nemesis of Michael. They are brothers, but could be no less alike if they started out total strangers. Vince becomes a true product of his environment. He appears to have fallen victim to all the social pitfalls of living in the  class East end of Delta City. Which just goes to show that no matter what your home life may be like you are just as susceptible to the traps the bad side of life may lay out for you. After all, Vince may have been an orphan, but we can all clearly see that he was raised in a very loving home. Despite being blind Grandpa Dale seems every bit the suitable guardian to the two Novak brothers. Vince is often mean, vengeful, and disrespectful throughout The Midnight Hour. he is in every way the opposite of his younger brother Michael. perhaps it was witnessing his older brother misbehave and cause stress to his loving grandfather that kept Michale on the straight and narrow (well that and Carly of course). Naturally the conflict between the two brothers gradually escalates throughout the book. In the end Michael (with the aid of Titan) is able to claim some small victory over Vince, but that cannot last for too long. There is plenty more to the story of Vince to come in the come in remaining Titan volumes.
