Raoul has reasons for what he does and how he goes about doing it. Some of that will become clear as the story progresses.
I will say Glory Hounds is not something that takes itself TOO seriously. There's a tiny bit of cartoon/comic logic involved. In terms of what we take inspiration from, think less Batman/Watchmen and more Totally Spies/Darkwing Duck.
You're free to interpret the character however you like though. :)
