Not really. He seems like the archetypal elist aristocrat who has no concept of social mobility. If you fall below his exacting standards once, nothing you do or say will convince him otherwise even if you have taken demonstrable steps to improve yourself.

And in terms of he could do better, that may be. But if anything, he would rely on the position he has to maintain his mask. In addition to that, the idea of a competitive environment and the whole "me" culture of the Hero Association would indeed prove attractive to our budding narcissistic sociopath.

I do not see there being something ugly under the mask. I can imagine something else. Read the below quote from American Psycho:

"There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there."
