User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/Lightning - a Good or a Bad Character?/@comment-25285054-20141108234959

He is decent, I guess. My main problem with him is that he had 13 episodes in ROTI to do..nothing. I don't really blame people who dislike him because of the last 3 episodes since his transition to a villain was way too out of nowhere and had far too little buildup. I cerainly wouldn't go as far as to call him the best male in the cast.

As for whether he's objectively a good character he is far too flat for my tastes. His defining traits are that he's...dumb and athletic, that's pretty much it.
