Ron-Karr

Ron-Karr was one of the founding members of the Legion of Super Villains.
History
Ron-Karr was a native of Neptune. As such, he had the power all of his race have: the ability to flatten his / her body. He applied for the Legion of Super Heroes (the premiere superheroes of the 30th and 31st century), but was rejected. He joined the Legion of Super-Villains and wasn't helpful in their attempts to kill the LSH. He gave up being evil and joined the Legion of Substitute Heroes (a team of Legion of Super Heroes rejects).
Name
Ron-Karr originally appeared in Adventure Comics #314. In this comic, his name is spelled "Ronn Kar". However, everywhere else his name is spelled "Ron-Karr" (hence the title of this post).

Legion of Super-Villains (Continued)

Some viewers of my blog may remember I did a post on the "adult" Legion of Super Villain (a version of the team that Superman fought againist). Here's the rest of the story.

Pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths

Tarik the Mute was a crimnal whose vocial cords were damaged by a Science Police officer (basically a 30th century police officer). Thus, Tarik grew to hate order and law. As such, he formed a school for villains to help form a Legion of Super Villains and blackmailed Legion of Super Hero member Colossal Boy into being a teacher. Among his students were LSH traitor Nemesis Kid (who can gain any power to defeat a single enemy); rejected LSH members Ron-Karr (who can flatten his body), Spider-Girl (her hair is web-like) and nuclear-powered Radiation Roy; and lightning-controlling Lightning Lord (LSH member Lightning Lad's evil brother). Despite the Legion stopping Tarik, the students became the Legion of Super Villains and commited various crimes. Chameleon Cheif and Sun Emperor (see my "Adult Legion of Super-Villain" for more info) joined. 

Post-Crisis on Infinite Earths

Several LSV members went back in time and attempted to brainwash younger versions of Superman and Batman into becoming the dictators of Earth. However, Darkseid managed to get the two to realize the truth thus restoring the timeline.

Five Years Later and Superman and the Legion of Super Heroes

All the members stopped being evil except for Radiation Roy, who was being mind controlled by people working for the Dominators. However, Zero Hour erased this from contitunity. 

Afterward, Radiation Roy and Spider Girl were shown to be members of a version of the LSV called the Justice League of Earth. Other members included Legion rejects Earth-Man, Storm Boy, Golden Boy, Tusker and Eyefyl Ethel. They were defeated by Superman and the Legion of Super Heroes then sent to Takron-Galtos (a prision planet).

Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds

Superboy Prime freed villains from Takron-Galtos and formed a new Legion of Super Villians. After several fights, Earth-Man convinced the team to try to kill the Legion of Super Heroes. However, the White Witch managed to help the Legion stop them. The members include the Justice League of Earth (Earth-Man. Storm Boy, Golden Boy, Spider Girl, Tusker and Radiation Roy), the League of Super-Assassins (Titania, Mist Master, Neutrax, Lazon and Silver Slasher), Terrus (whose body made out of insects), the shrinking Micro Lad, Magno Lad (has magnetic powers similar to Cosmic Boy), the telepathic Esper Lass, the lightning-manipulating Lightning Lord, the solar-powered Sun Emperor, the matter-transmutating Cosmic King, the telepathic Saturn Queen, the heat / fire-manipulating Beauty Blaze, the Daxamite Ol-Vir, Chameleon Cheif, the warrior alien Tyr, Hunter II (seeking revenge for the death for Hunter I), the warp-creating Zymyr, the sound-manipulating Echo, the wizard Mordru, Black Mace, Universo, Dr. Regulus, Grimbor the Chainsman, Fatal Five (Validus, Mano, Persuader, Emerald Empress and Tharok) and their leader Superboy-Prime.

Ron Planet

Ron Planet is a web comic created by Matt Chapman (one of the creators of Homestar Runner) and Craig Zobel.
Titular Character
Ron Planet is the only qualified astronaut left on Earth. However, he finds his job boring and would rather play with Legos and look after his cat Mabel. This is not helped by the fact that Ron gets no respect for his job. He lives in a run-down house.
Plot
Ron Planet was hired to replace the posters on satellites. He had to get on a passenger plane to get high enough in the atmosphere. He managed to accomplish his mission via a ship that looked like an EVA pod from 2001: A Space Odyssey.When he returns to his house, he was contacted by NASA's sole employee (due to budget cuts) Doctor Eggleston, who wants him to go to the moon to figure out why there is a bag of popcorn on the moon. The story was never finished.

Men From N.O.W.H.E.R.E.

This is real.
History
During World War II, the Agency was been formed to eliminate the oddity of the world. The Agency snatched "soul husks" of people via the Telephone Avatar's silver tongs (they imprisoned TA in the Ant Farm, the sub-basement of the Pentagon). These husks became the Men of N.O.W.H..E.R.E. Flex Mentallo was captured by them and was forced to create weapons with his mind. Later, a man called "Mr. Jones" managed to create a "Delirium Box", which created fake Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. They tried to kill Danny the Street (a living street) only for the Doom Patrol to stop them. These guys only speak in sentences that have "nowhere" as an acronym. Meanwhile, the real Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. tried to force Dorothy Spinner to free the Telephone Avatar. However, she ended up killing them and destroying the Avatar.

Captain Future

History
Captain Future was originally published by Nedor Comics. Andrew Bryant, a scientist, discovered that exposure to infrared and gamma rays give him superpowers. Aided by detective Grace Adams, he became a superhero and took the name "Captain Future".
Captain Future fell into public domain. As such, he was chosen for Project Superpower. After World War II, the misguided Fighting Yank imprisoned several superheroes (including Captain Future) in the Urn of Pandora. When the Urn was broken, he and the other heroes were freed. In the second volume, Captain Future turns out to really be Zeus from Greek mythology.
Powers
He can gain superpowers when he exposes to infrared and gamma ray. However, this is temporary and he has to repeat the process to maintain his powers. When "charged", he has flight, super-strength, and ability to shoot energy bolts from his hands. However, a strong enough blow to the head can knock him out.

Fury

The Fury is an one-shot character from 1963. He is based on Spider-Man and Daredevil with elements of Captain America.
Overview
Richard "Ricky" (no last name given) was the Fireball, the sidekick to the Fightin' Fury (his dad). When the Fightin' Fury was killed by the Squid, Ricky promised to never stop fighting crime. He became the Fury with out his mother's knoweldge while still attending high school. From time to time, he helps Sky Solo (basically a female Nick Fury) and the Law and Security Enforcement Reserve (L.A.S.E.R.).
In the actual comic, the Fury helps L.A.S.E.R. transport Cargo X, but ends up fighting the villain Voidoid. Cargo X's content unfreeze thus freeing Warbeast (see "Enemies"). He goes on a rampage until the Fury uses his shield to hit his legs thus causing him to fall into a nearby bay. This allows L.A.S.E.R. to recapture him.
Abilities
Richard doesn't seem to have any superpowers. However, he is very agile. He also has two shields on his arms that can be thrown like Captain America's shield.
Enemies
The Fury has a rogue gallery. Among the villains we see are the Voidoid (a man in a white suit that is intangible to objects he doesn't want to touch him), Warbeast (a blue T-Rex with three eyes, thumbs, human-level intelligence and the ability to fire deadly beams from his third eye) and the Squid (a guy that has a squid mask on his face who killed the Fightin' Fury). Two mentioned but unseen villains are Doc Centipede and the Dune.

Ravage 2099

Ravage's human form (top) and Ravage's beast-man form (bottom) 

I mentioned the Marvel imprint Marvel 2099, which was mostly cyberpunk reimagining of Marvel characters. Ravage 2099 is unique for lacking a then-present-day counterpart (the Hulk villain Ravage didn't appear until after this guy did).
History
Paul-Phillip Ravage was the CEO of ECO (a pollution-fighting group hired by the megacorpation Alchemax). When he questioned his superiors at Alchemax, he was framed for murder and became fugitive. His companions are his ex-secretary Tiana and Dack (who was orphaned when ECO killed his father). The three of them battled Alchemax troops. Paul (now calling himself "Ravage") went to Hellrock, a civilization of people mutated by radiation, and fought its human-hating and genocidal leader Dethstryk. He helped save Tiana from him, but got contaminated by the before-mentioned radiation. Over exposure to the radiation eventually turned into a monstrous beast-like creature with horns, claws and fangs. However, he gained the ability to turn to his normal form. Alchemax turned Tiana into a version of Hel (a Norse goddess) in part of their plan to kill / control all the superheroes. However, Ravage prevented her from going through with the plan. Ravage and Tiana got new jobs, but Ravage's bestial side strained their relationship. As such, he tried to control his animal side until he accepted it. Ravage teamed up with Ferra (a literal bat woman) to find a legendary valley that supposedly was filled with animal-people in it. Despite not finding the valley, they destroyed a reality-warping alien. After returning to Hellrock, Ravage killed Dethstryk with the help of Ferra, Tiana and Seeress (a confidant of Dethstryk). Ravage was seemly killed when Doom 2099 drowned him in liquid adamantium and launched him into outer space.
Powers
Originally, Ravage had no powers. However, after being exposed to radiation, he gained the ability to fire energy from his hands. However, he eventually transformed into a man-beast with super strength, healing speed, sense, agility and durability. He also had the power to turn back to his normal form and back.
