Would you pronounce it "VOX", "VOZeV" or something else completely?
What was I thinking about?

Maybe the letterer got it wrong and it was supposed to be Vox V, or Vox the Fifth?
Watching television is not an activity.

Vocks-veh Although the notion that the letterer smooshed it and it was supposed to be Vox V is amusing.

I like the idea of it being Vox V.
However, I've always pronounced it Vox-ev.

That's how I have always thought of it...was there a continuity where Orando was settled by Earth? It would be kinda funny if at some point they forgot that all those Vs and IIIs on the end of people's names were numbers and did just start pronouncing them phonetically

Voxey to rhyme with Foxy!
Like Malvolio, I thought it was supposed to be the fifth too.
Tee hee with Dave.

One thing I noticed re-reading certain Pre-Reboot Legion stories set on Orando is that the names of male Orandan characters ended in "x": Projectra's cousin Pharoxx, son of Hythaxx (LSH #286) and Dirrax, a regent mentioned in LSH #26. I wonder if King Voxv was intended to be "Voxx," but somehow got changed to "Voxv." I don't know if he was addressed by name in his first appearance or simply called "the King"/"Your Highness/Majesty." At any rate, thanks for the responses.
What was I thinking about?

There's the Dox family (Querl, Vril, Lyrl, Kajz, etc.), the Nux family (Sharn), and the Fex family (Orin), among others. And I just looked up on DCwikia and found out that Questor's real name is Xart Prax, so double X-y goodness!

I never thought of this, but it makes a lot of sense.
