And that is why it is important to check who they are before you send someone related to them. Honestly people never heard of lossing? What better way to keep you childern safe then by shooting them off to space when your side lost a war!
For some reason I get a feeling that a small retcon happened in this arc.
Way back near the beginning I remember reading that Jr said his father was given his gauntlet from an alien, but in this arc it reveals that Jr’s father kind of stolen the gauntlet and that he should have no idea where it comes from(unless the gauntlet gave him that little bit of memory.).
This ring was, um, a present, for winning in a game of riddles. No, it was a birthday present, for it was my birthday!
That said, it feels to me like it wasn’t intentional theft when it happened. It may have been intentional theft by the time he got back to Earth, depending on how stuff went down. I honestly don’t expect an honest recount of the events from either side of the exchange at this point. But people who steal things and want to be on good terms with heroes have a pretty large temptation to lie about exactly what happened, even if they didn’t deliberately steal stuff.
Having something like that in the story, and then have it come out like this doesn’t really feel like retcon to me. It’s more like, “the difference between appearances and reality is that sometimes reality makes itself known despite your greatest attempts to maintain appearances.”
