Title: The "Double Ls"... a Long List? Post by: Continental Op on March 05, 2005, 10:18:14 AM As we know, there was a long-standing tradition in the comics (not so much anymore) of Superman meeting people whose names contained the letters "LL", and often going on to have them play an important part in his life.
Just for fun, I recently tried to come up with a complete list of all the notable LL characters. I have seen many lists of the LLs in various places, but none of them seemed to be definitive. I wondered just which characters needed to be included. Often it was a judgment call. Anyone who plays a major role in at least one Superman story in his own books seems to make the most sense. In the case of other super-heroes, I included them only if Superman is a member of the same hero team they are. In the case of super-viLLains, I did not include them if they were mainly another hero's enemy, even if Superman has encountered them at least once (like GoriLLa Grodd). This is what I came up with... if anyone can think of any others, then by all means, feel free to contribute! Double L initials: Lois Lane Lana Lang Lori Lemaris Lex Luthor Lara Lor-Van Lyla Ler-Rol Luma Lynai Lightning Lad Lightning Lass aka Light Lass Lightning Lord Lewis Lang Linda Lee (Danvers) Lucy Lane Lady Lunar Lesla Lar Liri-Lee Lydia Long Names that contain double Ls: MetaLLo Kristin WeLLs SaLLy Selwyn ELLa Lane BiLL Henderson The Atomic SkuLL SKULL MaxweLL Jensen (the Parasite) KuLL- Ex KendaLL Kent Barry ALLen (the Flash) WaLLy West (the other Flash) OLLie Queen (Green Arrow) Carter and Shiera HaLL (Hawkman and Hawkwoman) Ryan LoweLL WiLLie Fawcett (Captain Thunder) The YeLLow Peri Thaddeus MaxweLL The ALL-Star Squadron The town of SmaLLviLLe From television: Lionel Luthor Chloe SuLLivan Honorable mention for a former LL: Lena Thorul So far, that's all I've got for the Superman LL canon.[/b] Title: Re: The "Double Ls"... a Long List?
