Answer:

no one to hate more than El Patron, who cloned Matt from himself so that he could harvest organs from Matt later in time when El Patron's body fails. Matt is kept against his will, but he doesn't know it, because El Patron makes his life exactly comfortable enough that Matt is perfectly motivated to do what El Patron wants. He doesn't hate El Patron, because El Patron has successful propagandized him, brainwashing him from birth to agree with what he says. Matt must learn to hate his father for his evil in order to be the hero.
