A case of Karate Kid

Unfortunately, the past two months have been busy, so I apologize for not posting more.  I ran of out of some of my easier topics.  I'm working on a big one that I might have to split, so let me get some thoughts out on Val Armorr, Karate Kid.

Should have been a contender, issue 8

This is sort of an odd one here.  Both a villain and a hero at one point, because he did not seem very evil.  He just wanted to belong!  He tried out for the Legion and was rejected, joined the LSV, but eventually ended up joining the Subs in Vol 4.  It's Ron-Karr.
