Thank God he didn't have many PoVs. Actually there is a lot of people who would feel better about themselves after getting ripped and all that, but I do hate his cynicism, it's not helping himself or people around him with that trait of his. Even Leo isn't exactly handsome but he still maintains a cheery outlook. This guy was bland and constantly cynical. I also didn't like how he was written as a stereotypical Asian nerd. Um since when is Frank a nerd/ Hes never portrayed as more intelligent than anyone else so... He's just very tactical but nowhere is he an Asian Stereotype. That stereotype would be more like a skinny computer geek. He's chubby, does archery, and really self consious. After Mar's blessing hes buff, confident and a natural leader. Where does nerd come into play?

Though I admit he is really cynical but that's just how some people are.

And being self conscious becajuse of small size and being self conscious because of big size are two completely different things so that leo and Frank comparison really does not work. Well, just to be fair he did win the spelling bee, so MAYBE that guy has a point, I really don't know. Not to mention Frank DOES where "nerdy" shirts and is described as a "geeking" out with Nico about some mythology game. Not really that sure anyway.
