| Origin |
Abandoned shortly after
his birth, Val Armorr was adopted by a sensei who taught him many forms of
martial arts from across the galaxy, some whose origins are lost to the
mists of time and space.
Mastering the marital arts, Armorr roamed the galaxy studying other
hand-to-hand fighting techniques and seeking spiritual enlightenment.
Armorr is
quiet and reserved, and believes the martial arts is a path to
physical discipline, leading to spiritual enlightenment. Joining the Legion his experiences have strengthened his
mental and physical abilities, and fostered his reputation as one of the
deadliest sentients in the known galaxy as the Karate Kid. |
