Who is Valor?

Lar Gand is a Daxamite with Superman-level powers who became a pivotal figure connecting DC's present era to the Legion of Super-Heroes' far future. Long trapped in the Phantom Zone, he ultimately emerged as Valor, a legendary inspiration to the Legion's founding generation.

Stepping onto the DC stage in 1991 courtesy of creator Bob Kahan, Valor made their debut in the pages of Who's Who in the DC Universe β€” practically a hall-of-fame introduction for a Copper/Modern Age character. With a presence spanning over three decades and appearances concentrated in Valor, Legion of Super-Heroes, and Legionnaires, this is a figure deeply woven into DC's far-future tapestry, keeping remarkable company alongside legends like Lar Gand, Rokk Krinn, Salu Digby, Tasmia Mallor, and Laurel Gand. If you're drawn to DC's cosmic, Legion-adjacent corner of the universe, Valor is a name worth tracking down.
