    Legion of Super-Heroes: Karate Kid

    Wax on...Wax off!

    #11 in an ongoing series....Val Armorr of Earth aka KARATE KID!
    Another of my long-time favorite Legionnaires. Karate Kid is currently popping up in the DCU again wearing this garb (originally designed by Mike Grell?)...he's been in recent issues of "Justice League of America" and "Countdown".

        Nice work Anthony. I am getting an education on all these DC characters that I never read about during my childhood. You and BL make quite the team with your customs!

                nice one. He must be easy to sneak up on, tho. That collar really cuts down on his field of vision.

                  Actually DC Comics granted Columbia Pictures permission to use the "Karate Kid" name for the movies. The movies started in '84 but Karate Kid the Legionnaire goes back as far as '66. He's the real deal.

                    I was expecting the other Karate Kid as well, but am I glad it isn't him
                    Fantastic job by both you and BL. I really like those Interalc letters

                      This is a good example of what Chekov's uniform would have looked like had the Trek TV series been produced in 1976.

                      Sorry, couldn't help that.

                      Nice work on the duds. Looks just like the pic.

                          Excellent job!!! I can't wait to see who is next.... The Legion in the 70s was my favorite comic. ( I can't wait till you get to Sunboy or Element Lad) Will we ever see any villains?
                          Lightning Lord, Nemesis Kid or the Fateful Five?
                          Don't be sorry. How would you know? You've been watching MTV all your life.

                            ^ I have a lot more of the LSH still left to do (Timber Wolf, Brainiac 5, Light Lass are coming soon). I'll probably have to make a Fatal Five at least as far as villains go. I'm also thinking of some others, as well as the ones you mentioned, like Pulsar Stargrave and Mordru. We'll see...
