ILL answer desk question #1

Dear ILL Answerman,

How do you pronounce "ILL"?

Julie S. in Washington D.C.

Julie,

I'm glad you asked since it's very important to pronounce a superhero's name correctly. In this case, when spoken aloud, ILL should be spelled out. It's pronounced eye-ell-ell and not "ill". Captain ILL, having a superhuman constitution, does not get "ill", unless you count melting into a puddle of water as "ill".
