He became bitter when she died, and i feel it ate away at him, maybe going into the pyramid to confront Leader Z was his way of realizing he was on the wrong path...and his goals were actually being undermined by Z'ds false promises.

You know could this be where Lucas got the idea for Anakin Skywalker's chosen path? There is a parallel in there to the two of them. Anakin also watched his mother die in agony thus taking him down the road to becoming Darth Vader. He also was more interested in amassing power. It was pointed out in a Star Wars documentary that Vader's lust for power and control resulted in the fact that he had no control over incidences that occured in his personal life.
And as Dr. Sinc pointed out everyone has good qualites. An act of redemption was done by both Ego and Darth Vader at the end of their lives.
Coincidence or a common thread that runs in literature?

Well, at least Ego isn't the typical japanese anime villain. They tend to make the flat cowering treacherous type. Ego is more proeminent as a character than Katse. The mutie was just lucky to be cast in a twice longer series!

There even was a coreean nasty version of Gatch who had a green redhaired Katse, and two fat Nambus. Except Jun wearing pants and Sosai looking like a bug instead of a chicken.... pretty much the same.
