Landau, Luckman, and Lake or LLL is the name of a fictional holding company featured in the pages of the "Wolverine", "Uncanny X-Men" and "Deadpool" comic books, published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Chris Claremont, the company was first mentioned in "Wolverine" #5 (March 1989). ["Wolverine" vol.1 #5, 1989]

Claremont based the name of the organization on the original owners of the Forbidden Planet comic store: Nick Landau, Mike Luckman and Mike Lake.

Overview

Although Landau, Luckman, and Lake is an intergalactic holding company which oversees and manages a number of subsidiary companies such as a law firm of the same name, it is in reality a front organization for a private espionage contractor which, in turn, is controlled by a cabal conspiring to "immanentize the eschaton". Some of these companies provide cover, plausible occupations and means of income, for its covert agents. LLL is made up of a diverse mixture of personnel, drawn from intelligence or fringe scientific backgrounds. It possesses a precognitive department and interdimensional teleportation technology which makes its foresight and reach beyond imagination. ["Deadpool" 3rd series #31, 1999]

As a vast, shadow government-like organization with storehouses of dreadful secrets, staff being unknowningly used to further an agenda and an interest in controlling the path humanity will take into an ominous future, the extent of Landau, Luckman, and Lake's influence behind the scenes of the major events in the Marvel Universe has yet to be revealed. ["Deadpool" 3rd series #31, 1999]
