Is this really a Project Scientology article? The only relationship seems to be that the comic book writers used L-Ron the robot's name to make a joke about L. Ron Hubbard's name. Does this add to our understanding of the subject of Scientology? Thanks. Steve Dufour 10:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
The article starts: "L-Ron is the name of a fictional character in the DC Comics universe." Why not just say: "L-Ron is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe."? Am I missing something? Steve Dufour 17:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
The information about his name being a take-off of Hubbard's name is not a major part of the article. Maybe about 5%. But you have made it about 25% of the lead by repeating the whole thing there. And please also explain why the article should be about the name of the robot, not the robot himself. Thank you. Steve Dufour 04:50, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I removed this for now: (It was heavily implied that the gaseous entity had an unrequited crush on his former lackey.)
That's a matter of interpretation. Unless someone can cite a source saying the creator intentionally implied it, we can't say that in encyclopedic entry. State the facts. Doczilla 07:37, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
As far as I recall, the name of the character is merely "L-Ron". The "last name" of H*bb*rd was a fan suggestion in a lettercol, that whomever was answering the letters that month said something like: "yeah, just like that: H*bb*rd". Considering in a similar situation in the Flash lettercolumn involving the Killg%re in which they certified 3 different pronunciations (including kilgore, and kilgree), I don't think that we should say that that is L-Ron's name without additional verification. And further, does anyone have any reference proving that L-Ron refers to Mr. Hubbard of scientology fame? - jc37 23:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
In the Metal Men mini series by Duncan and Rouleau, L-Ron appears as a member of the U.N.I.O.N. .2 Generation, with Warbox and Manhunter Lud and Body X. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sp33df0rc3 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Having reread some old stories, it seems he's also romantically involved with Khan. Have any of the writers confirmed this? Lots42 (talk) 23:12, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
