Ronald Lang was the younger brother of Lana Lang.

Noted for his over-sized buck teeth and bratty demeanor, Ronald eagerly assisted his sister in a plot to prove that their neighbor Clark Kent was actually the teen super-hero known as Superboy. Their plan nearly exposed Superboy's dual identity, particularly when Ronald sprayed Clark Kent with perfume and noticed later that Superboy cast the same odoriferous scent as Clark Kent. Superboy's quick wit protected his identity when he convinced both Ronald and Lana that the boy had accidentally spilled perfume on himself, which is why he smelled it on both Clark Kent and Superboy. Superboy also tried to convince the amateur detective that all of his suspicions were the result of a vivid dream. The plan ultimately succeeded and Superboy maintained his secret.

  • This version of Ronald Lang, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022-2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
