* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Claims to be a personification of ancient forces. Which he might well be.

* EightiesHair: From the time she stole Lorna's powers, she sports a big 80s perm. How she maintains it in the humidity of the Savage Land is anyone's guess.

--> '''Sauron:''' I choose... evil! An evil so great... so monumental that only one name in all the annals of literature will contain it! The name of Tokien's ultimate villain... that dark lord who personified evil, who was truly evil incarnate! The name of -- SAURON!

* LightningBruiser: Stegron is stronger and faster than Spider-Man, capable of knocking him out cold with a single tail strike. In separate comic, not only he is fighting Black Panther and Thunderstrike ''at once'', but gains the advantage over them, forcing the heroes to expose him to cold.

to:

* SssssnakeTalk: Despite not being a snake, he speaks this way. This is most likely -- after his [[LargeHam cheesy]] speech pattern -- another leftover from the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]]. Actually, at some point, Sauron openly mocks this during their brief team-up.

And, yes, you heard right, he is indeed named after the Tolkien character. Both InUniverse and out, in fact, despite the fact that the Dark Lord of Mordor likely wasn't meant to be a vampire pterodactyl-man -- the relevant thing, in Lykos' mind, was that he viewed Tolkien's villain as an ultimate embodiment of evil, and evil was what he sought to be.

* LineOfSightName: He named himself after ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' villain. He even [[ShoutOut says so himself]] on-panel during his origin story. The fact that he calls Sauron "Tolkien's ultimate villain" reveals that he (and possibly the writers) only has passing knowledge of the legendarium, however.
