Val-Yor (Teen Titans)

Val-Yor is a one-time character in the original mh:besttvshows:Teen Titans. He appears in the episode "Troq", where he recruits the Teen Titans to help him stop the Locrix.

Why He's a Troq

 * 1) Despite being calm and nice to Robin, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy, Val-Yor is extremely cruel and racist to Starfire.
 * 2) Throughout his only episode, he constantly puts Starfire down and refuses to let her help on the mission, even if she asks for help.
 * 3) *He even sent her on a mission to remove mines, knowing very well that she could have died. He even looked disappointed and upset when she survived!
 * 4) His treatment of Starfire, especially calling her a 'troq', really upset her and made her feel useless and unwanted.
 * 5) When Val-Yor got trapped and become heavily wounded in a force field, he refused to let Starfire save him. He was about to be killed but his racism got in the way of getting some help.
 * 6) *Even when she did save him, his "thank you" felt half-hearted and not genuine.
 * 7) He never gave a reason for why he hates Starfire or any of the Tameraneans.
 * 8) After the other Titans rightfully defended Starfire and called Val-Yor out on his attitude towards her, he decided to consider them all "troqs" as well, proving he didn't learn anything.
 * 9) He is a filler character.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He’s an original character from the series, not existing in the DC Universe before this series, so we have to give him credit for that.
 * 2) His superhero design seems solid.
 * 3) Stephen Root did a great job voicing him.
 * 4) He was a decent character in the beginning, until the moment where he started to be mean to Starfire.
