quote: The L.L. thing started out just as a coincidence -- Lois Lane was introduced, and Lex Luthor, and later Lana Lang. When the editors and writers noticed it, it started to become sort of a running gag -- Linda Lee, Lyra Lyroll, Lori Lemaris, Lucy Lane, and now even Lionel Luthor in Smallville

In the bible, anything with the sound "El" at the end of their name means "Of God". the angels are named "Michael" Gabriel" Raphiel". Possably the creators of superman knew this and made it part of the Kryptonian names.

Adrian means "Dark One". My first two names are Adrian Michael... so I guess I'm The Dark One of God? That's pretty cool.

From A Superman site...quote: A remarkably large number of characters in the comics have the initials L. L. Most notable are Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, Lana Lang, and Lori Lemaris. A rumor says that these names were chosen because Joe Shuster's first girlfriend had the initials L. L.
