Valor Gand is the prince of Daxam, who crash-landed on Earth after escaping the ravaging of his home planet. Mon-El is also the son of the late Lar Gand and the late Rhea, the younger brother of Mon-El. While adjusting to living on his new home world, he begins to use the identity of Valentine Matthews. After he started to work alongside Janus, he became inspired to try and use his new powers to help protect the Earth and become a superhero as well, .

Powers and abilities

Powers

• Daxamite physiology: Normally, like all Daxamites, Valor Gand's capabilities were no greater than a normal human of his physical conditioning. However, once charged by the energy of a blue or yellow sun and metabolized into his body, he became able to perform various inhuman feats.
  • Solar energy absorption: While Valor Gand's powers are dependent on the energy spectrum from a blue or yellow sun, his body is able to constantly and passively absorb such energy while exposed to it, essentially keeping his reserves fully charged near-constantly. Direct exposure to sunlight will also accelerate his recovery from any injuries he does manage to sustain.
    • Accelerated healing factor: Valor Gand's solar charged metabolism accelerates his healing and allows him to burn calories at a fast rate, making him resilient to weight gain.
      • Electrosynthesis: Valor Gand's cells harness and absorbed the electrical energy surrounding him, manipulating it to regenerate himself at a cellular level and manifest his own energy source.
      • Contaminant immunity: Valor Gand had an immunity to all forms of disease and contaminants on Earth.
      • Green Kryptonite immunity: Despite having a similar physiology to Kryptonians, Valor Gand is immune to the radiation effects of Green Kryptonite.
      • Silver Kryptonite immunity: Despite having a similar physiology to Kryptonians, Valor Gand is immune to the radiation effects of Silver Kryptonite.
    • Super leaping: Valor Gand is able to perform incredibly high jumps in a single bound.
    • Invulnerability: Valor Gand is essentially invulnerable to all Earthly weapons. He was able to take far more damage than any normal human.
    • Super speed: Valor Gand possessed the ability to move at incredible speeds, far greater than that of any normal human.
    • Super strength: Valor Gand's strength was enhanced under a blue or yellow sun, enough to easily kill a normal human if he were to attack them directly.

Abilities

• Expert hand-to-hand combatant: As a member of the royal family of Daxam, Valor Gand is a capable unarmed fighter.
• Expert stick fighter: As a member of the royal family of Daxam, Valor Gand is a capable stick fighter; he was able to go toe-to-toe with J'onn J'onzz, a Green Martian who is 317 years old and is an expert stick fighting in his own right.

Weaknesses

• Lead: Weapons made from lead will penetrate Valor Gand's skin; if lead stayed in his system for too long, he will die from the poisoning.
• Extreme energy: Extreme amounts of energy, can be enough to kill Valor Gand.
• Red Sun energy: Like Kryptonians, exposure to the Red Sun will make Valor Gand the equivalent of a human being on Earth.
• Magic: Valor Gand is not invulnerable to magic because his powers come from his natural physiology and not supernatural means.
