It fits his character better this way. Aqualad was definitely the least likely to do anything like this in season 1 clearly and the reason for turning wasn't really that concrete either. Switching to the side of the people who killed the girl you loved and because the identity of your psychotic father wasn't revealed to you are not the best reasons to go evil. Now there are a lot of other things that could happen and this only thickens the plot. I also don't Superboy or Miss Martian losing control completely anyway. They certainly aren't going to cause a cataclysm or anything like some people I read were saying in other posts. I know they will feel betrayed an really mad, but I doubt they will turn on the people they consider their family and loved ones over this. Betrayed, definitelym but they have clealry both matured and will probably be able to handle it. It will probably end up with them getting caputred somehow and Artemis and Aqualad saving them and some other members anyway.
