The "Double Ls"... a Long List?

[Continental Op]

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!

Strangest LL of All- a Nazi swastika that fell apart and clonked some Nazi baddies on the head in the shape of "LL"s in "Jimmy Olsen's D-Day Adventure"! :shock:
