The real issue with Lagoon Boy is that the character development for him hasn't been as in depth as it could have been given that the second season was limited to 20 episodes and there are quite a few characters that have been added. In Season One, more character development was possible given there were 26 episodes and fewer characters to focus on.

But there's been enough that made me grow to like Lagoon Boy more when he was a character that tended to rub me the wrong way earlier in the season. We know enough to know that he truly does care for M'gann and that the reason why he eyes Superboy with suspicion is because Superboy dumped M'gann and Lagoon Boy didn't know why. I would suspect M'gann has since revealed to Lagoon Boy those reasons... what they do to the relationship between Superboy and Lagoon Boy remains to be seen.

All that said, having 26 episodes would have allowed more freedom to explore his character.
