Beilert Valance(Legends) respect thread

Now here's a character from the olden days, back when Marvel had the SW comic rights. Even still though, some interesting characters came about such as Valance here, so let's see what this guy is capable of!

Valance described as a cunning strategist, slavers, pirates and mercs didn't stand a chance against his tactics. A Stormtrooper Commander, he was a cold-blooded warrior, getting results at all costs.
Comic Scans
Noted as being the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy, even Boba Fett trembled at his name. This was early on in the GCW, so it probably doesn't apply later on as much, but it's still noteworthy. He fought during the Clone Wars as a grunt, soon enough he rose through the ranks during the Jedi purge and became one of the fiercest Stormtroopers the Empire produced, this before becoming a cyborg.
Valance had taken out an entire Rebel information team and is noted by Vader as being a possible formidable rival.
Here he beats a spy to his own hideway, getting the drop on him before blasting before he can draw his weapon.
His arm cannon is powerful enough to blast huge holes in doors and walls, big enough to walk through. Normally it would have taken a blaster a few minutes to burn through the sealed doors.
Able to withstand his re-directed arm blaster cannon back at his face, a bit at a weakened power.
Arm cannon is powerful enough to even send Vader to his knees and Vader notes that it would be a waste killing him, that he could be useful.
Durable enough to withstand a tackle from Vader and lightsaber strikes and strong enough to keep hold a grip on Vader despite getting kicked multiple times, the grip won't break free.
It is said Vader almost met his equal before Valance fell into the corrosive acid water of the planet Centares.
Valance's cyborg body is described as some of the toughest durasteel in the Outer Rim and sure enough the guy wakes up with pretty much his body looking fine to throttle the mercenary with him. It's noted that Domina hired some of the best mercenaries and thieves around.
Sure enough as the last scan shows however, they are nothing compared to Valance who just destroys them with his fists and arm cannon, even able to rapid fire his arm cannon, blasters having 0 effect on him.
Here Valance crashes the ship that he stole directly into another ship and he comes out unharmed before getting blasted by more blasters to again 0 effect. He then grabs Jaxxon by the throat, lifting him with one arm and holding him before he could fire off a shot.
Take note folks, Valance later awakens in the New Republic era. His duel with Vader on Centares was in 0 ABY, so his body withstood the acid waters for 4 years and he wasn't even so much scratched, just laying dormant. To put into perspective of these waters...
Metal would dissolve in hours, while flesh would only take minutes.
=============
Well there you have it folks! Basically this guy is a dang Terminator and he's awesome as hell.
....Which is why I am really disappointed with what the New Canon did to him, but that's another separate thing entirely. So enjoy folks!

Sourcebook/Guide Quotes
It was while hunting in the Nembus sector that Fud first ran afoul of young stormtrooper commander Beilert Valance. Valance was a cold-blooded warrior, even by the Empire’s standards, known for getting results at all costs. The cunning strategist was at the forefront of the Empire’s efforts to purge the Nembus sector of undesirables — Fud included. Slavers, pirates, and mercs alike didn’t stand a chance against Valance’s well-coordinated and absolute tactics.
