History:
Born the son of super-villain Kirau Nezumi (otherwise known as the Black Dragon) and Valentina Armorr in the latter half of the 30th Century, Val was raised by the super-hero who defeated the Black Dragon, a man known only as the Sensei. Trained from birth in the martial arts in a program of unprecedented intensity and scope, Val learned every method of hand-to-hand and armed combat known in the galaxy, and achieved mastery of them all.

Taking the name Karate Kid, Val applied for and was accepted as a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, despite his lack of a true super-power. Joining at the same time was Projectra, the heir to the royal throne of the planet Orando. They fell in love, and Karate Kid went on an extended quest to prove himself worthy of Projectra to her father, King Voxv. The quest included a period when Karate Kid had to live on Earth in the 20th Century. The quest ended with Voxv's death, when Projectra took the throne and married Val, making him her consort.

Tragically, shortly thereafter Orando was conquered by the Legion of Super-Villains, and in the battle to free the world, Karate Kid sacrificed his life.

Powers:
Karate Kid possessed mastery of every form of armed and unarmed combat in the galaxy, making himself the total living weapon. Despite his lack of any true super-powers, he was able to fight Superboy to a standstill using physical powers only... at least for a short period of time.

As a Legionnaire he wore the LSH flight ring, which allowed him to fly at will.
