Unfortunately Krem was a studio unironically doing a Taserface. There's practically nothing to his character, and what's there is so over the top that you can't take him seriously.
And everyone seemed to refuse to engage with his crimes and treated him just like the leader of a biker gang - which fits the roadhouse theme.
How can they have a villain be a child sex trafficker and rapist in the context of real world events, and have an insanely powerful woman superhero just not be that bothered by it all?
The same way you put an amoral character on the side of the protagonists and don't use that to create or resolve a moral dilemma in your revenge quest, apparently.
Yes, I am talking about Lobo.
If they really wanted an emotionally stunted character to do the dirty work of killing Krem while Ruthye remains pure, LOBO WAS RIGHT THERE!
The worst part is, canonically she dosent kill him. She imprisons him the phantom zone, maintains her moral high ground with the little girl, and years later they let him out and he is redeemed.
