Prince equals HDS?

This is what I have difficulty with. From season 3, there was no indication that Prince had any knowledge of the universes beyond Fire and Water. He had an extremely superior understanding of the nature of these planets but, like everyone else, he simply knew all he had experienced since “waking up”. He handled, to an extent, which souls went where but he never had any knowledge of the previous state of these souls. He seemed puzzled and intrigued regarding the Lexx and its crew who were on their “first life”. Oh, and why do you say that the people on Fire were not reborn? The souls under Fire’s surface were waiting to be reborn on the surface. When Stan’s Fire incarnation was killed on Fire, he returned to the line. Duke is the only one to remember from life to life and Prince had the inate ability to asume another form after rebirth. His sphere of influence was Fire and, when he used balloons, Water to an extent. He could not affect Humanity because Humanity was almost completely dead and stuck in the continious cycle of death and rebirth, memories being erased with each rebirth.
Prince also rarely seems to show hate. He cooly explained to Kai under Fire that he simply tried to eliminate it because it was good. He didn’t have any strong reason apart from the fact that he was evil. He knew that these sides were in opposition and merely went along with it. He did what he felt was expected from him. Again, he shows that he is generaly lawful.

I think that HDS may have been the result of genetic manipulation on the part of Princes creation,

This, as well, seems to suggest a physical conection between HDS and Prince and I may understand what you are trying to get at if you elaborated on where this idea comes from. It may involve something about this connnection with Earth’s historical figures and, again, it seems to suggest that Prince, as an entity, has had influence with the universes outside Fire and Water, which he has never encountered. I’m sorry, but this reply seems to imply what you were dismissing at the begining of your post. And I say again, I was using metaphysical concepts. Prince is simply a person on a Planet. Evil is a universal concept. HDS and Prince share this aspect of themselves, but why the genetic thing? Genetics are physical and morality is metaphysical ie. “beyond” physics.
p.s Why is Genghis Khan considered evil? He simply lived up to the ideals of his people to an extent which lead to the building of an empire. He didn’t care much for the empire, simply for the honour gained by battle. But that’s another thing altogether.
