L-Ron
Created by Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis & Kevin Maguire
+ History
L-Ron first appeared as the robotic servant of Manga Khan. (J.L. International v.1 #14) Eventually Khan traded him to the League in return for the de-evolved Despero. Although considered a part of the League, he was only an assistant at the New York embassy, not a field operative. When Despero escaped Manga Khan, Kilowog created a collar from L-Ron's biocircuitry which imprinted L-Ron's being over Despero's (JLE #34). He subsequently left for space with Manga Khan. He returned to Earth to warn J'onn of the Overmaster's arrival (JLTF #12). After that battle, he joined the Task Force as a full-time field operative. Despero's personality eventually began surfacing, taking over for brief time periods. Finding himself in Leesburg, L-Ron encountered Supergirl, who excorcised Despero's psyche with her newfound "angelic" powers (Supergirl #17-18, 1998). L-Ron emerged intact, still within Despero's body. Under unrevealed circumstances, L-Ron has now returned to a robot body (Despero also returned, but still without a body [Virtue & Vice]). He fell on hard times and took a job at Big Belly Burgers, where he was rediscovered by Maxwell Lord. L-Ron and Max decided to form a new group of former JLI members called the Super Buddies. His former master, Manga Khan then returned in an attempt to reclaim L-Ron (to barter him for G'nort). Khan was outsmarted by Max and Sue Dibny — his love for L-Ron left unrequited. (Formerly Known as the JL #1-6)
