Robot went insane and became a violent dictator, killing several superheroes to establish his regime. In this scene, Mark had travelled back in time around when he first met the Teen Team. As he explains his time travel, he is uncertain what he's going through is real, so he asks one of the Teen Team to tell him something about them he wouldn't originally know, but could confirm by lining it up with what happens in the future. Robot's admission here shows that he's always been lowkey psycho.
I think it goes a long way in showing robot’s motivations as well. He truly thought what he was doing was the right thing, and this drives that point home. His time in the Flaxan dimension definitely made him more narcissistic and psychotic, which motivated him to do those things. It’s easy to condemn him, but put in this perspective it’s very understandable why he turned out the way he did. I hope they expand a little on this idea in the show.

What realization did Mark have here? I'm definitely blanking on context
