Lois, Lana, Laurel, this guy really has a thing doesn't he.

I specifically remember an old silver age superman comic where he was talking about his fixation on people with LL names. He mentioned:
Lois Lane
Lana Lang
Lori Lemaris
Lex Luthor
Lightning Lass (I think it was a LOSH crossover and he was crushing on Lightning Lads sister)

There’s also Luma Lynai, Superwoman from another planet. She’s in the story with the famous panel where Superman tells Supergirl he would marry her if they weren’t cousins. (This during the era where Supergirl was about 13 years old.) Supergirl of course was Linda Lee.

I haven't read this story, but I already know that it turns out everyone figures out it's Jimmy immediately and they don't say anything just to jerk him around.

100% (at least the first time, in googling it I found they did this bit at least 3 times).

Jimmy wants a higher paying job, so goes to job interviews at other newspapers, but all the positions get filled by women. So he dresses as a woman, gets a job at the Daily Planet, tries to gently caress everything up to prove Jimmy's better then any woman, but Superman fixes everything, then everyone reveals they knew it was Jimmy the whole time.

The ice dancer comeback was even better.

I feel like his arms are too low in those panels where he's crossing his arms. Looks like he's in a straightjacket.

Everyone in Luthor's family also have L L names. His sister, both parents, Jr, probably some cousins...

So does like 1/700 of the Metropolis phonebook, but I don't think Superman hosed them. Unless...

I wouldn't want to row forwards with a titan sitting in the fore, that's a recipe for having to break out the bailing bucket when the bow swamps
