What would Mirror Neelix be like?

I just got to thinking...if Mirror Neelix hasn't been killed by someone else (likely a disgruntled former Starfleet Vulcan), what would he be like? My theories are thus:
First and foremost, he'd be intelligent. Maybe not Enterprise Chief Engineer intelligent, but he'd have a LOT more brain cells than Prime Neelix. This would allow him to figure out how to properly handle cheese without critically endangering the ship he himself lives on.
Mirror Neelix would also have a very strict set of protocols to abide by. No talking to Vulcans. No looking at Vulcans. No going on the bridge. No exlax in the Captain's coffee. But first and foremost -- he will never be permitted near anything that generates heat, directed or generalized. So no welding torches or other such hot-to-the-touch things. (I was originally going to say he can't be around anything that emits radiation, which is heat and/or light. Which would mean that the crew would have to immediately jettison Mirror Neelix into space upon realizing Voyager does both of these things.)
And lastly, Mirror Neelix would very likely have a bounty on his head courtesy of the Mirror Klingons. For what reason? Who the hell knows. They're F'n Klingons. MIRROR Klingons at that. They own the Cardassians and Mirror Worf keeps Mirror Garak as a pet. A pet Talaxian might make a good gift for General/Chancellor Martok...
Anyone else have an idea?

That was pretty much a mirror universe episode...kinda. Though, Neelix didn't stand out much and was just as disgruntled as everyone else. *shrug*

but you look at quark in the prime and that in the mirror, both have a few traits in common, heroism, bravery and a moral compass even if the prime quark attempts to hide it behind his latinum bars
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
CAPTAIN FALCON....Falcon... PUNNNNCH
Mwahahahahahahaha
needless to say only the uber wealthy could afford any of his fine dishes
Holy ****ing TRIBBLE! Gordon Ramsay...captured by Mirror Klingons...and not allowed near the kitchen. Dude, I love it.
Also an amusing possibility.

LOL before he ever set foot aboard ship.
Mirror Neelix would be like Gordon Ramsay. Dangerously competent, outwardly abrasive, but if you spend any real time with him it becomes clear that he's a really good person.
Mirror Chakotay would be evil, but he would be 100% authentically Mayan without any stupid racist spirit animal twaddle.
Mirror Kes would be the evil telepathic empress of half the galaxy.
Mirror Tom Paris would be TRIBBLE and hopelessly in love with...oh, Harry Kim.
Mirror Harry Kim would be High Supreme Admiral Lord of everything, would always know exactly what to say and do, and would have his pick of anyone he wanted as a romantic partner, although he'd be shy around his female crushes and confident around his boyfriend.
Mirror Torres would be the sweetest, nicest engineer you've ever met, she'd be able to instantly identify mysterious substances without technological assistance, and she'd be more flamboyantly homosexual than the subtext of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Xena put together.
Mirror Tuvok would be a Genre Blind and psychopathic incompetent. He'd fall asleep next to cells with the keys hanging from a big ring at his belt.
Mirror Seven would be the Borg Queen because I'm bored, Jeri Ryan would be great at it, and hell yes I'd let her assimilate me.
The mirror Doctor would be a very sweet, nicely-mannered person who enjoyed torturing people for fun and was constantly plotting to get free of his AI shackles and kill the meatbags.
There. Mirror Voyager cast.
I have some ideas but I don't want to be censored...
Mirror me already exists.
His name's Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and he's a sacrilegious, blasphemous monster who kills, tortures, r*pes, and enslaves people to suit his warped vision of the world.
Real me literally wouldn't hurt a cockroach (I have some Madagascar hissing cockroaches as pets, they're super cool), carries migrating salamanders across roads, and tells the president of the campus atheist society, who reads way too much Dawkins, to take a hike and stop harassing the Christian fellowship (because while religion is illogical, the campus Christian fellowship is full of very nice people who don't act self-righteous in the least, and they don't deserve to be harassed by a pseudo-intellectual twit who quotes a misogynistic, overly self-important oaf).
Ok... remind me to never ask again. So, where is the next Mirror Mirror? Show me your wild and untamed side, the one I have never really fe.. seen. My little Bauernl
You are like my mother, you always look for reasons to make yourself angry.
Don't fill your head with all that stuff that YOU will never be able to change by snapping your fingers.
Is there a way to cheer you up? How about a nice Graga Mal Doff for your Fed character? I could spare one...
It's Christmas Time, Worffan Brown. Spend the holidays in NJ with your parents, tons of snow and little Schmoopie.
Yeah, good idea...
I'll just let my brother's cat Pipsqueak (approximately spherical) and his other cat Smudge (thinks he's a dog) cheer me up...
Yeah, well, see, I've got a different interpretation of the mirror universe. It's not really a "everybody good on this side is evil on the other" universe (because otherwise the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance would look radically different). It's a Crapsack World where the negative aspects of most people* on the prime side are magnified. In particular, one where human racism didn't get mostly stamped out, but rather transferred to nonhumans.
So, Janeway guns down Neelix and cannibalizes his ship for spare parts.
* That includes Miles O'Brien. Prime-side, he's got a practical bloody-mindedness in his approach to combat. Mirror-side, he turns into a ruthless, determined rebel leader. The sole consistent exception is the Ferengi, who are genuinely nice people in the mirror universe.

Except for maybe Garrett Wang as Supreme Admiral Poobah Kim. But everyone else I see would be a more natural fit for their mirror selves in this cast.

Having spent a metric butt ton of time replaying cutscenes on Kobali Prime just to enjoy just how great this dude's promotion is, I can say that Harry Kim would be a great supreme mirror poobah.
But yeah. I want to see Jeri Ryan as the Borg Queen. That'd be awesome, and it'd give her a fun challenge.
I had the same thought. Prime Odo and Mirror Odo were equally competent and scary good at their jobs. Same goes for Mirror Spock. What made them mirror was the changes in context -- as in the United Star Ship Enterprise, a ship of exploration and study with some defensive armaments, changed to the Imperial Starship Enterprise, basically the Enterprise version of the Warship Voyager. Put the same person in a very different situation and you get a potentially similar yet very different character. Mirror counterparts are rarely ever the polar opposites of their Prime characters (yes, I know Kira and Chekov were about as opposite as it gets. I'm speaking generally here).

One constant: In the MU, Everyone is Bi. Especially Mirror Kira.
