Now knowing that the Outsider was poor and outcast during his mortal years, powerless and severely abused, suffering at the hands of those with power, I suppose we can speculate why he took an interest in the Unknown Child. It seems like that kid's life is like a mirror image of the Outsider's childhood, so he offered the powerless child a chance to receive the upper hand, something he never had.

The Outsider just became a lot deeper.
