Who is L-Ron?

L-Ron is a small, wisecracking robot who debuted as the personal manservant and assistant to the imperious alien conqueror Manga Khan, accompanying his master on dealings that brought him into contact with the Justice League International.

Few characters capture the irreverent, bighearted spirit of the Copper Age Justice League era quite like L-Ron, the pint-sized robotic assistant who debuted in 1988's Justice League International #14, conjured by the legendary creative trio of Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis, and Steve Leialoha. Born into one of DC's most beloved and comedically charged corners of the universe, L-Ron has shared pages with heavy-hitters like Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Blue Beetle across titles including Justice League Task Force, Justice League International, and Justice League Europe. The fact that this little mechanical presence has persisted in the DC catalog from 1988 all the way into 2024 speaks to the genuine affection readers and creators alike have for him. If you love the warm, witty, ensemble-driven storytelling that defined that golden stretch of Justice League comics, L-Ron is absolutely worth seeking out.
