Shit, Lee's the one that brought that DragonBallZ superfighting into Naruto. Powering up, moving so fast he looks like he's teleporting while he plays pingpong with your ass. Soon as he learns to shoot energy blasts, the transformation with be complete!
From the start he was not anything. He was pretty much useless for all purposes, except being laughed at. He did not have his super fast movements or skills granted to him from birth. He aquired them by training, training hard. Also, altho he used all his strenght in the Gaara fight, he still lost. Not only the match, but also his leg and arm. Hence why I find him a bit more of a compelling and realistic character than Sasuke or Naruto, who appears able to master pretty much anything in a matter of days.
