I'm gonna say that Dermott referring to himself as the "long lost son of Brock Samson" is even more red herringy goodness. More likely, I think, right now, that he's definitely Sergeant Hatred's son, but having seen Brock, he idolizes Brock now and would rather that was his father. OR ... Dermott's mom sent Dermott to camp to see his father, and he THINKS it's Brock (hence the disrespect, but idolizing) but in reality it'll be Hatred and SURPRISE KID, you have a pedophile for a father.

Funny episode.

There is really no evidence to Dermott being Hatred's son. I'm not saying that Doc and Jackson aren't gonna throw some kind of curve ball, but that theory is pretty far-fetched.
I'm betting they just stick with the Brock angle and I'm betting the resolution will be hilarious.

Why would it be Hatred? Dermott's mother sent him to the camp with the intentions of him meeting his father, and therefore knew his father would be there. But Hatred showed up spur of the moment due to a scheduling mishap. So how would she have known that would happen? It has to be someone whose presence at the camp was established.

Right. His father was obviously Dean.

I found this while trolling the web trying to get a fix for my Venture Jones.

Is this Dermot's mother?

Is this Dermot's half brother?

They are character designs from "Invisible Hand of Fate" (Lots of great stuff on this page including a drawing of OSI's S.H.E.I.L.D. like Heli-Carrier.)

I believe the profiles of the faces match the silhouette of Demott's mom from the end of "The Buddy System."

Also check out the clothing selection. Old army jacket that matches Dermot's.

This is my total fan wank on Dermot and his origins:

I believe Billy met Dermot's mother on the underground quiz boy circuit. During one hot night of passionate quiz boy love Dermott was conceived. Billy was then mind wiped by OSI so he has no recollection of losing his virginity.

All children in the Ventureverse are victims of unintentional abuse by seemingly oblivious or well meaning parents. Dermott may talk tough but he is a very frightened boy. Raised by his mother traveling on the dangerous and depraved underground quizboy circuit Dermot was exposed to many traumas just like Rusty, Johnny Quest, Trianna and the Venture Brothers. Dermot may have even been sexually molested thus his fear of being probed and wanting to protect his "cornhole."

Dean and Demott may in the future find common ground in sharing their traumatic childhood experiences with each other or worse Trianna and Dermot may find common ground by doing the same.

I don't believe he is Hatred's son.

I can see it now, Dermott's Mom taking him to the day camp to meet his long lost father and not telling him who it is.....
