In my opinion Kaldur is infinitely more interesting as a villain. Most of the other bad guys in the show have little back story - but in his case we have empathy, regret, other varied emotional responses that I'm sure helps viewers connect with the heroes in the show that feel the same way. We have a powerful, angry black man, who in his one appearence this season was far more compelling watching than before - to a certain extent he could be viewed not just as a villain but an antihero. The point is good and bad is not black and white. Wonderful stuff. Also, it is unclear if the parter is or is not Black Beetle. Also, in terms of non-white characters, Blue Beetle is getting plently of limelight, and shaping up to be a great character.
