(Ian, any comments about their situations in Dead Bang?)
Well, quite possibly. It seems to me that Quincy (as has been previously stated), played his version of Warrior's World under DC rules, so he assumed his "creation" wouldn't throw common decency to the floor and go for the throat. It's not Superman's way, after all, no matter how provoked. And the few times he's been willing to do it, someone actually held him back. So he might have *assumed* he'd be okay in the end.
As for any future Quincy upgrade, well, have you ever wondered why Quincy never made a Quincybot to the same power level as Largo? After a year of Largo being around, Quincy was still using expendables. Maybe he didn't see it as a true consciousness transfer. If that's so, I can't see him willing to create *another* Quincy who'll theoretically live forever. After all, where's the justification in creating this perfect doppleganger, if you're not going to be around to enjoy the fun?
Given the existence of magic, it suddenly becomes possible, even feasible that Brian J. Mason's consciousness really was moved into Largo. But if you can't accept the existence of magic, then what you see yourself creating is a mere copy who *thinks* he's you, while *you* get to rot in the body he gets to leave behind. Not very appealing in that case for the original person.
