Not sure I buy that one--the whole point of Sora is that, as was emphasized in 3Ds, he's just an ordinary kid who through selflessness and generosity pretty much becomes the most powerful thing like ever. (Sora is the world's worst timeshare because everyone is there at once.)
True, but Ven was supposed to happen until he got Xehanort-ed, much like Riku was supposed to happen until he got Darkness-ed/Xehanort-ed. Though Xehanort really shot himself in the foot with that one.
It's why I wasn't particularly surprised that he's keyblade-capable. After all, you don't have to be good or nice to wield one (hi, Xehanort and Vanitas), just have a strong heart. And yeah, it was a ridiculous triple-cross. Killed Vexen to keep him from interfering with Marluxia's plans, tried to take down Marluxia to keep him from interfering with Xemnas's plan, and took down Zexion to keep him from interfering with the plan with Saix. It must be exhausting to be Lea.
Yeah, Mickey does have the keyblade from the realm of darkness, but the realm of light's got a bunch of them because that's where people live. Which makes me wonder who was the first wielder from the realm of darkness, since there must have been one for there to be a keyblade. After all, we know keybearers can survive in there fine even sans the cloaks, and it's not like it hurts darkness wielders too much, especially if they're like Riku (and Mickey!) IIRC in an interview Nomura stated there's something in common about the two of them that makes dark corridors not affect them--they used the cloaks to hide from the org, not to ward off the effects of the darkness.
