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. He's voiced by Stephen Root.

Why He's an Utter Troq

 * 1) Despite being calm and nice to Robin, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy, Val-Yor is extremely cruel and racist to Starfire, which is unacceptable for him to act like that to a fun, kind-hearted person like 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. Heck, 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 can be considered a filler character.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His superhero design seems solid.
 * 2) Stephen Root did a great job voicing him.
 * 3) He was a decent character in the beginning, until the moment when he started to be mean to Starfire.

Trivia

 * Val-Yor is unique in that he's the only character in the Teen Titans series to be original and not be from the DC Universe before.
 * Due to Val-Yor's poor reception by fans and critics alike, he is a one-time character only in Teen Titans. Val-Yor leaves planet earth in his ship after both the Titans and he stop the Locrox, and is never seen or mentioned again for the rest of the series.
 * As a matter of fact, Val-Yor is the only major character in Teen Titans to not make a reappearance after his debut in "Troq", he doesn't get so much as a mention, not even in "Titans Together" and/or "Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo"(the series finale movie of the original Teen Titans) does he even get a reference, this hints how widely hated he was.
 * He is the first (and so far only) character in the original 2005 Teen Titans who has not made an appearance in Teen Titans Go!.
