*********************************************************************
Created by Jim Shooter, Karate Kid first made his appearance inside the pages of Adventure Comics #346 back in July of 1966.
The origin of Karate Kid is relatively straight forward.
Karate Kid (Val Armorr) is the son to both Japan’s greatest crime lord, Kirau Nezumi (the Black Dragon) and the American secret agent, Valentina Armorr. Fearing the worst for her son, shortly after his birth, his mother made an attempt to hide him from his father. This proved to be her undoing as she was found out and killed for her efforts.
All wasn’t lost for Val Armorr as Japan’s greatest hero, Sensei Toshiaki (the White Dragon) killed Kirau Nezumi for his crimes. Noticing that Kirau had a son, Sensei took the orphaned youth in and raised him as his own. Under his guidance, Val was taught all forms of martial arts. Karate Kid proved to be exceptional in his studies even becoming the youngest warrior to earn the title of Samurai.
