Trivia

  • Lung's codename is a reference to the dragons of Eastern mythology, which are known as the Lóng or the Lung, usually with a prefix or suffix, such as T'ien-lung or Lung-wang. The reason for taking this codename is likely his resemblance to dragons after he's transformed, with scales, wings (eventually) and the ability to produce flame (though it bears noting that dragons from Eastern mythology don't necessarily breathe fire). Lung may have taken this name because Dragon was already in use (see Dragon), because of racial pride or because of a combination of the two.
  • Lung brings up his mixed ancestry and notes the prejudice he faced in his first stint in prison. This prejudice/background, coupled with the fact that he recruited a gang of multiple races (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese) and his recruitment of Bakuda (a half Asian) all point to one of the things that drives/drove him, subconciously or consciously.
