Not a good lead then. Being a leader doesn't only mean a person's superiority. He must know how to take opinions from his subordinates.
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

And it's not just my opinion. It's also the opinion of all the (3) other developers! 
And the work colleagues next booth we talk to and who did look at the source control code!

Anyway, sometimes one can be right against many. But what is particularly painful is that he makes sure we all must use his meaningless patterns..
At least, when I am innovative (in... any meaning of the word! ), I don't force feed it to other people!!

Sure. If I will be somewhere near Australia today I'll try trying to sabotage your TL with you. 
BTW, I don't have anything against my lead. She's good.

The other one I hear a lot is that 9 mothers can't make a baby in 1 month.

That really depends sir. What kind of 'mothers' are we talking about in here? IIRC, some animal mothers can have and deliver their babies in just one month.
BTW sir, it only takes a day* to make a baby, it's just the mother(human) will only carry it for nine months. 
*depends on how determined the couple are.

Common Karen, you should share the work, can't wait 9 month for that baby!

Do like my former Bitch Supervisor From HellTM did, she went off to Brazil to get a mail order baby. Too bad for her that when she did, the Brazilian tabloids were full of stories about Americans adopting Brazilian babies to be cut up for organ transplants. Took her 2 1/2 months to get back, accidentally leaving me in charge. We kicked ass and took names because we didn't have to deal with her insecure, control freak ways.

Just remind him from one of those egoless programming commandments[^].

He does that often. Not consult. break other people's code once they are done.
Half of the data is then missing but he replace it by a nice "not implemented" string! To show it's the newer better version!

I thinks he need all commandments. May be it's better to email him the whole points. He might get a relief.

I must give him credit for his enthusiasm over patterns. He strikes very much the same characteristics of my brother. (who is classified as a super developer) I've also heard someone give the exact same criticism about his work. (sometimes implement complex solutions to non existent problems... to refractor this I'd say complex solutions to problems to which a simple solution can suffice). He admitted to this flaw (seen by other as one), but also added that in order to better himself/his skills, he had to practice them. Today he uses patterns by nature... You tell him about a certain design problem you have, he responds with aaah, use the X pattern to solve it. What he has become as a result of this attitude is a master problem solver, no really... I work in the same company as him although in a different province, our company is an international company. He's is well known throughout the company, both locally and internationally as the best c++ developer we have, and more specifically the best problem solver... to the point where if any major software/system problems arises, in whatever project, he is the one that gets called up to find the solution.
90% of c++ developers when trying doesn't understand his code, unfortunately. And in understanding, I don't mean that it is ugly... Its just, his knowledge of the language is miles ahead of 90% of c++ developers. And it is the first time in my life that I've seen that too much knowledge of something can be a disadvantage to some degree... He recently join another company where he has no name and is working for a new boss and with a new team... He had to downgrade his style of programming before they would accept any of his code he written for them... They didn't understand his code, and because of that didn't want it in there source base. He says to me that his new challenge is to write code as he's done in the past but, to make it a bit more simple/understandable to the regular c++ developer.
