History

In the Real World, Bill Sherman wrote a post on rec.arts.comics where he credited himself as "Spelling Boy".

"That's "Winsor McCay", no "d", no "K". I've seen two posts naming McCay on this thread, and both got the spelling wrong; so I saw my duty clear."

—Bill Sherman, April 27, 1992

This inspired Dan'l Danehy-Oakes to propose that r.a.c posters come up with net.hero identities for themselves, thus creating the LNH.

In-character, Spelling Boy is a native of Webster's World, and a member of the Legion since before the Cosmic Plot Device Caper (at least five days before, in fact).

Ultimate Ninja first appeared as a mysterious avatar of famously chaotic speller wReam with a grudge against Spelling Boy for his constant correction.
