There are at least two non-powered AU-versions of Kyle in the [[Daria Multiverse]]; the first is seen in [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] Volume Two - 1.2, during the viewing of an alternate reality. In these realities, [[DELPHI]] is a Daria multiverse version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHIELD SHIELD], and Kyle is the leader of a reinforced cadre within the elite rapid-deployment force known as SABRE (Special Action Battalion-Rapid Engagement), which is the Daria Multiverse equivalent to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.A.F.E. S.A.F.E.].

Soon after Kyle's appearance in "[[It's All About Respect]]," there were several mentions on [[PPMB]] at to how Kyle was a 'Mary Sue' character; these accusations seemed to be stemming from a number of scenes in 'IAAR' where Kyle was seen in minor confrontations with Daria ~~where~~ she didn't fare well. The author answered these charges with a posting detailing the shortcomings of the character, after which those claims fell silent. There is, however, a lingering belief that Kyle IS a 'Mary Sue' in that he is a self-insert character that mirrors the author's own fantasies of wish-fulfillment.
