## Lactuca the Knower

Lactuca the Knower is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in Planet-Size X-Men #1 (June 2021), created by Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz.
Lactuca was a mutant from Arakko who sat on the Great Ring of Arakko as a consultant on all matters related to the heavens. Her face could not be seen for unclear reasons and as such she was constantly covered by a black cloth patterned with stars. She assisted in the relocation of Arakko to Mars. During the Eternals' assault on the new Planet Arakko, Lactuca helped disable the enemy's weapons.
When Genesis returned to Arakko and confronted the Great Ring for their perceived weakness in their conflict with the Eternals, Lactuca was initially neutral until it became clear that Genesis was using the Annihilation Staff to influence other members of the Ring. In the interest of balance, Lactuca teleported Storm and her allies away. Throughout the civil war that followed, Lactuca remained a neutral observer and took no action on behalf of either faction.

### Powers and abilities of Lactuca the Knower

Lactuca is an Omega-level mutant and a "universal shaper", able to manipulate space and the universe on a large scale, including closing dimensional rifts and interfering with the teleportation powers of others. She is virtually omniscient, knowing the spatial position of everything, seeing all, knowing all, and able to perceive reality through the perspectives of others.

## Lady Lark

Lady Lark (Linda Lewis), later named Skylark, is a character in the Marvel Comics series Squadron Supreme and hails from Earth-712. She first appeared in Avengers #85 (February 1971), and was created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema. She is based on Black Canary and later on Hawkgirl in DC Comics.
Linda Lewis was a singer before an enemy of the Squadron Supreme, Doctor Decibel, surgically implanted synthetic vocal cords into her throat, giving her the ability to generate a "sonic cry" which could incapacitate opponents. A reluctant hero at best, Linda often wished to return to her singing career.
She often partnered in crime-fighting, and later romantically, with the character Golden Archer (mirroring the relationship between the modern Black Canary and Green Arrow); however, she refused his marriage proposal. The Archer then used a mind-altering device to literally change her mind, but this had the unintended side effect of altering her personality to an air-headed, vapid persona that put her feelings for the Archer above all other priorities. When the Squadron finally learned this fact, Golden Archer was removed from the team, and Lark followed after him. Lark disappeared for some time, next being seen at the end of the first year of the Squadron's Utopia program, having become separated from Golden Archer while still obsessive about him.
When the Archer died under his later identity of the Black Archer, Lady Lark seemed to slowly shake off the effects of the mental modification, and returned to active status with the Squadron. Feeling she needed to increase her abilities to stand beside teammates that she perceived as more powerful, she began using the artificial wings that once belonged to deceased teammate Blue Eagle to gain the power of flight, and renamed herself Skylark. With this new ability came greater confidence, and Skylark became far more aggressive in combat than she had been as Lady Lark.
When returning to her native dimension with the team, she is injured and remanded to hospital care.
An alternate version of Lady Lark appears in the Supreme Power: Hyperion mini-series.

## Lady Lotus

Lady Lotus (also known as Lotus Newmark) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Lady Lotus first appeared in The Invaders #37 (Feb. 1979), and was created by Don Glut, Rick Hoberg, Chic Stone and Alan Kupperberg.
Lady Lotus was born in Japan, and exhibited strong psychic powers at a young age. She developed these abilities through constant meditation, and supplemented her powers with the sacred lotus flower. At the age of 21, she moved to the United States. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States began holding Japanese-Americans in concentration camps to determine their loyalties. Disgusted by this, Lady Lotus took refuge in New York's Chinatown and opened a curio shop called "The House of Lotus". She cast a subtle hypnotic suggestion over anyone who came into the store, convincing her customers that she was actually Chinese. Angered at how her people were being treated by the Americans, she vowed to destroy the United States, and allied with the Axis Powers.
When U-Man was about to attempt an attack upon the Sub-Mariner's flagship, he was suddenly compelled away by the mental powers of Lady Lotus, who commanded him to come to her lair. When U-Man arrived at the House of Lotus, Lady Lotus sent her guards to test his strength, and was impressed. When U-Man tried to fight back against her, he was powerless because of her mental abilities. She told him she was interested in the Kid Commandos team member, Golden Girl. With her powers, she made sure that Japanese saboteurs would make an attempt at the Santa Monica Pier which would be stopped by the Kid Commandos. After they had beaten the saboteurs, she sent U-Man to capture Golden Girl and he brought her back to a warehouse at Lady Lotus's request. There, Golden Girl was treated with utmost respect and was even offered tea as Lady Lotus retold her story to her. She attempted to appeal to their common Japanese ancestry so they could work together to take over the U.S., but Golden Girl was unshaken in her commitment to America, despite what she and her father, Dr. Sam Sabuki, had suffered. Lady Lotus tried to take over her mind, but one of Golden Girl's blasts of energy blinded her. The Invaders and the other Kid Commandos arrived just as U-Man and Lady Lotus' soldiers attempted to capture Golden girl, causing Lady Lotus to flee with U-Man.
Meanwhile, some of Lady Lotus' agents attempted to revive Baron Blood and when he came to, Lady Lotus directed him to the House of Lotus to join her forces. After bathing in lotus petals and scented water, Lady Lotus confronted Baron Blood and U-Man, and demonstrated to Baron Blood that she could control him as effectively as Dracula. She then provided him with a coffin and soil from England for him to rest in, and a new costume to replace his tattered garment. She then sent Baron Blood to help Master Man and Warrior Woman smuggle into America. The Invaders interfered but Baron Blood is still successful in the scheme. Lady Lotus captured a number of men and women from Chinatown and hypnotized them to have the men serve as her guards and the women as her maids. With the four costumed Axis agents assembled, Lady Lotus declared that they would join forces as the Super-Axis. Warrior Woman and Master Man refused to obey a Japanese woman, but Lady Lotus drove them into compliance with hypnotic illusions.
Meanwhile, the Human Torch arrived at the House of Lotus, wondering if there was a connection to Lady Lotus. She greeted him and took control of him with hypnosis, offering her love to him, and playing on his feelings of rejection after Spitfire chose Captain America. She sent the Super-Axis and Human Torch to destroy Chicago's railroad center to hamper American supplies, and directed them mentally from a distance. When the Torch nearly killed Miss America and the Whizzer, Captain America was able to help him regain his senses. Angered at how she played with his emotions, the Torch attacked the House of Lotus solo. She sent her samurai to fight him, but he released a bright flash of light that broke her spell over them. Lady Lotus escaped during the melee. With the Super-Axis' defeat, Lady Lotus retreated into Chinatown. Days later, she chanced to encounter the Yellow Claw and his young niece, Suwan, in the rain. She was taken aback, thinking the Claw was only a legend. The Claw said that he admired her ambition, but promised that even if it took him another decade to it, he would be the one to conquer the United States.
U-Man later had his revenge upon Lady Lotus for making him her slave by raping her and she gave birth to his daughter, Nia.
Lady Lotus was revealed to be the true identity of contemporary Los Angeles crime lord "Lotus Newmark" in Captain America: Forever Allies #1 (2010). As Lotus Newmark, she had previously appeared in storylines in Avengers Spotlight (featuring Hawkeye, written by Steve Gerber), Wonder Man and Nomad.
Lady Lotus possesses the ability to hypnotize others from miles away, forcing them to obey her will. She can also psychically project images into a crystal ball, cast mental illusions and had limited powers of precognition. Exposure to lotus flowers heightened her powers, and she would bathe for an hour in a bath of the flowers to increase her abilities. Due to apparent mystical means, she also does not age.

## Lady Shadra

Lady Shadra was an evolved anthropomorphic black panther created by the High Evolutionary as one of his New Men, animals given humanoid form and intelligence. She was a member of her master's high guard, the Knights of Wundagore, and had her own squire named Gulo. Together they took part in the earliest battle against the Man-Beast after he ousted the Evolutionary from his own citadel, and later joined their creator on his journey into space.

Lady Yulan was born in the Yuan dynasty and was raised from birth to be an assassin before she was turned into a vampire through Chinese alchemy. Yulan left China and spent the next centuries creating her own clandestine criminal empire called Clan Yulan, eventually establishing her own vampire territory in New York City by the present day. Moon Knight approaches her for information regarding the Tutor, a former vampire acquaintance of hers, which she obliges due to her hatred of the Tutor.
In the "Gang War" storyline, Lady Yulan is shown to have territories within East Village and the Lower East Side within New York's criminal underworld. When tensions between the criminal organizations escalates to a city-wide war, she engages in a turf war with Mister Negative and the Inner Demons due to the preexisting animosity between the two and the close proximity of their territories. The destruction wrought between the two forces Shang-Chi and the Five Weapons Society to intervene.
In the "Blood Hunt" storyline, Lady Yulan confronts Reese, Soldier, and 8-Ball of the Midnight Mission commenting that she locked down Chinatown and that Earth will become a world of monsters. After a brief fight with Reese, Yulan gets away.

With the Institute of Evil, Lamprey held the Golden Archer captive, and kidnapped the relatives of the Squadron Supreme members. The Institute battled the Squadron Supreme, and were defeated.
Lamprey was one of the Institute members captured by the Squadron and subjected to the Behavior Modification process invented by Squadron member Tom Thumb, altering his personality. He then joined the Squadron and aided them in their efforts to conquer the world in order to turn it into a utopia.
Lamprey accompanied Tom Thumb to the 41st Century looking for a cancer cure.
Squadron member Nighthawk objected to the extreme methods the Squadron was using to achieve its goals, and left the group.

## Llan the Sorcerer

Llan the Sorcerer is an extradimensional entity and enemy of Alpha Flight, specifically Talisman. Once every 10,000 years, he manifests on Earth and attempts to corrupt, conquer & annex it into the Twisted Realms, a coalition of predominantly 'evil' dimensions (such as Svartalfheim).

However, by decree of Eternity, he must follow strict ritualistic rules of engagement against a mortal avatar of the Talisman power acting in Earth's defense. Despite ultimately being thwarted each time, his penchant for vast collateral damage was enough to implicate him in "the great devastation" 20,000 years before modern day. Elizabeth Twoyoungmen even implies that Canada's propensity towards eldritch mystical threats stems from Llan's routine incursions.

## Llyron

Llyron is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Llyron is the son of Llyra, and was genetically accelerated in age by Llyra so that he might take the crown of Atlantis. His mother Llyra was a Lemurian/human hybrid and a foe of Namor. She decided to conceive a child with Namor and introduce him as a successor to the Atlantean throne. After discovering that Namor was sterile, Llyra instead seduced a human named Leon McKenzie to create Llyron. Leon's father Lawrence was Namor's half-brother via their father Leonard, thus making Leon Namor's nephew and by extension Llyron is Namor's great nephew. The Atlantean Council voted Namor off the throne, and declared Llyron to be his rightful heir. However, the sorceress Morgan le Fay raised Atlantis from the ocean floor, and in the resulting chaos Llyron left with a number of Atlantean refugees to find a new home.
Llyron is named after his maternal grandfather Llyron who was Lemurian. His maternal grandmother was a human named Rhonda Morris.
He has resurfaced in the Thunderbolts series, as the leader of Fathom Five, a militant Atlantean splinter group determined to destroy humanity.

One full moon night, Ramón and his men ambushed the two lovers and tried to drive Eduardo away by using whips on him. Pain and rage from this whipping triggered Eduardo's mutant ability to transform into a werewolf, causing him to kill Ramón, his men, and Esmelda. Carlos later discovers that he possseses the same abilities as Eduardo. The brothers then turned to crime using their powers to unite all the mobs of South Texas into Los Hermanos De La Luna. The Lobo Brothers were so successful that they not only gained a mansion in a Dallas suburb but drew the attention of the Arranger, the Kingpin's lieutenant. The Arranger used the Persuader to brainwash the Punisher into attempting an assassination of the Lobo Brothers. The plan failed thanks to Spider-Man's interference and the iron will of the Punisher, who ended up killing the Persuader instead. The Lobo Brothers knew who was responsible for the attempt and they vowed revenge.
Soon after arriving in New York, Eduardo encounters Glory Grant, secretary of J. Jonah Jameson, and plans to seduce her. During a subsequent meeting with the Kingpin, Glory kills Eduardo, claiming she was aiming at Spider-Man and missed.
Sometime later, Carlos was eventually released (or escaped) and along his sister Esmeralda started to run a new criminal organization - the Lobo Cartel in Mexico. Among their illicit operations, in at least one occasion they agreed to human trafficking to supply the Roxxon Energy Corporation's request of "living test subjects". The Cartel filled a truck with people that they intended to deliver to Roxxon at Houston Harbor. However, at the behest of a mysterious old man called Mr. Moctezuma, the Cartel let a girl called Aracely be placed at the last minute with those in the truck before departing for Houston.
After Aracely turned out to have survived this ordeal and an enforcer of Moctezuma called the Salamander, the Lobo siblings were called to finish her, but were defeated by Scarlet Spider. Following this, Moctezuma kills Carlos and reveals that he needs Hummingbird to be killed so that the Sixth Creation can begin.
During the "Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy" storyline, Eduardo Lobo is resurrected by Jackal and his company New U Technologies.
The Lobo brothers are mutants who can both transform into humanoid wolves. This gives them superhuman physical abilities both while transformed and in their human forms.

## Dog Logan

Dog Logan is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the elder half-brother of Wolverine. He first appeared in Origin #1 (September 2001), and was created by Bill Jemas, Paul Jenkins, Joe Quesada and Andy Kubert.
Dog is a servant on the Howlett estate in the late 19th century, located in Alberta, Canada. His father Thomas Logan works as groundskeeper of the Howlett estate. As an adolescent, Dog is the playmate of James Howlett and Rose O'Hara. The three children are good friends. At one point, Dog saves James from drowning in a river. However, Dog gets frequent beatings from his abusive alcoholic father for spending time with members of the upper class. As a young teenager, Dog is cruel, sadistic and brash, going so far as to make unwanted sexual advances toward Rose. James, witnessing and foiling a later attempt by Dog to assault Rose sexually, reports the incident to John Howlett, Jr. Dog kills James's dog in retaliation, resulting in both Dog's and Thomas's expulsion from the estate (for failing to rein in his son). Enraged, Thomas returns to the Howlett estate later that night with Dog and tells Elizabeth Howlett, James's mentally-disturbed mother, that he was leaving and that he plans to take her with him - implying he is James' father. Thomas and Dog, however, are soon discovered by John as he comes into the bedroom. The two men quickly engage in a heated verbal exchange that culminates with Thomas shooting John in the head with the shotgun he was carrying. Just when Thomas pulls the trigger, James walks into the room and witnesses his father's death. The trauma of the event triggers James' mutant powers, particularly his bone claws, and he uses them against Thomas and Dog, resulting in Thomas's death and Dog being slashed severely across his face, leaving three large scars. Elizabeth loses her fragile hold on her sanity and screams insults at James, who runs crying from the room and house with Rose pursuing him. Elizabeth kills herself in front of Dog moments later using Thomas' gun. As the only survivor left at the scene when the police arrived, Dog fraudulently-reports that Rose is responsible.
Years later, Dog is hired by John Howlett, Sr. (James's grandfather) to track James. Dog accepted, but with the intention of killing James rather than return him to his dying grandfather. Now fully grown, Dog is large and powerfully built with lightly colored hair. He eventually tracks James to the mining town where he and Rose have been staying since they ran from the Howlett estate. Dog spends some time in the town, learning James' habits and watches as James and Smitty, the foreman of the camp and James' close friend, participate in a cage fight. James, despite being enraged over Smitty's relationship with Rose, allows Smitty to win the fight. After the fight, Dog suddenly attacks James. During the fight, Dog claims that he is responsible for John Howlett's death (even though Dog's father is actually the one responsible). James manages to defeat Dog and extends his bone claws, preparing to kill him. However, Rose suddenly arrives. As James prepares to strike, Rose runs into his claws and is fatally wounded. Grief-stricken, James runs from the camp and into the forest, leaving Dog behind.
Later in the Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine mini series, Dog encounters Spider-Man travelling through time. Dog enters a mine containing the glowing diamonds responsible for Spider-Man's time travel. The diamonds send him to the present day.
In the modern era, Dog Logan is seen alive in the Canadian wilderness, obsessed with reading newspaper articles about Wolverine creating his own school. While in the future (the present) in his cabin, he was greeted by a future version of himself who told him it was time for him to start hunting his brother in the Savage Land, without giving out anything of the outcome of the battle. Through unknown means, he made it to the Savage Land and shot down his brother with a laser pistol while he was jumping around the trees in order to teach Wolverine a lesson.
Dog was offered a teaching job at the Hellfire Club's Hellfire Academy where he became the gym teacher.

### Powers and abilities of Dog Logan

Much about Dog remains unrevealed, due to the few appearances he has made. Dog is tall and powerfully built and demonstrates impressive tracking abilities, though it remains unrevealed precisely how he locates his brother and Rose. Dog also shows himself to be a formidable combatant.
In his appearances in the present day, Logan has mastered the use of the time diamonds and is able to use them to travel through time seemingly at will, and to transport people and things from different time periods to his own location. He has also acquired an arsenal of highly advanced weaponry from various future eras, including plasma rifles, poison darts filled with alien venom, and an Adamantium battle-axe.

### Dog Logan's connection with Sabretooth

Paul Jenkins responded on the question of Dog and Sabretooth as the same character by saying "Who knows? In my mind, Dog is not intended to be Sabretooth, but he could be. It doesn't matter. As long as the next writer respects the character and writes a simple story, anything could happen." Marvel Comics released the one-shot specialty comic entitled X-Men Origins: Sabretooth which chronicled some of Sabretooth's earliest childhood experiences but, with the exception of being in an abusive family, differs distinctly from Dog's life as shown in the Origin mini-series. Subsequent appearances of Dog and Sabretooth prove the two are separate people.

Professor Kenji Oyama was a Japanese scientist who was also a powerful crime lord known as Lord Dark Wind.

He is also the father of Yuriko Oyama, the woman who would later become Lady Deathstrike, and Lord Deathstrike/Kazou Oyama, a Japanese mobster, later killed by Punisher.
A Japanese kamikaze pilot during World War II, the bombs on his plane failed to explode when he crashed into an American aircraft carrier, and he miraculously survived, though his face was horribly scarred. He wrote a book about his experiences and made a fortune from its sales, which he used to buy a private island and set himself up as a lord. During this time he married and had three children. Feeling shamed by his failure decades earlier, he permanentally adorned his face with a black cowl and scarred the faces of his children in a ritual design. Seeing mercantilism as inherently dishonorable, he began funding violent political activity, and ordered his two sons to assassinate the Japanese Prime Minister; they died in the attempt.
Intending to employ the assassin Bullseye, he freed him from prison and performed surgeries to replace the damaged bone in his vertebrae with adamantium. Daredevil pursued Bullseye to his estate. His daughter Yuriko allied herself with Daredevil. To free her lover, Kiro, from her father's servitude, and to gain vengeance for her scarring and the death of her two brothers, she slew Lord Dark Wind. Yuriko would later belatedly embrace her father's ideals and go on a quest to track down the person who dishonored him. During the "Hunt for Wolverine" storyline, Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth, and Daken fight their way past zombies and soldiers from Soteira Killteam Nine to get to the power station where a glowing green device suspected to be responsible for the zombie outbreak is located. Lady Deathstrike discovers that one of the soldiers is a resurrected version of her father. After Lord Dark Wind stabs Lady Deathstrike, Daken fights him until he gets stabbed as well. Sabretooth gets Daken's defeated body away from Lord Dark Wind. Lady Deathstrike recovers and continues her fight against her father until he slices off her left hand. After stabbing Lord Dark Wind in the neck, Lady Deathstrike discovers that the adamantium they were tracking was his adamantium sword.
