It should be noted that Sauron admitted on panel that he named himself after the Tolkien Sauron-in an odd disregard for trademarks.
He made two major appearances in the animated series, if you don't count the cliffhanger in which he is introduced. These are: 'Reunion' and 'Savage Land, Strange Heart' (both are two-parters). I don't think those appearances make him a major foe if you view the series as a whole. Sabretooth, Sinister, and Magneto were major foes. Sauron was an occasional guest villain. Heck, as long as he's Lykos, he isn't even dangerous. 62.194.121.100 12:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Wasn't Tanya killed by Sauron moments before he joined up with the Brotherhood?

Image:Sauroncom.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The "creation and conception" section claims that Sauron was created to elude the Comics Code on werewolves. This has me confused, because there's an article published in Wizard which quotes Roy Thomas as saying that they wanted to create a vampire character, and made Sauron a pterodactyl because it was the closest thing to a bat they could think of. Unfortunately, I can't check the source used to cite the werewolf thing, since the Sunday Times website requires registration to view articles. I think we should note this contradiction about Sauron's origin in the article, but to do that we need to say where The Sunday Times got their information from. Does anybody here have access to the article who can provide clarification on that point?-- NukeofEarl ( talk) 15:53, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
reminiscent of the word saurus, Latin for lizard. The -saurus ending is a Latinization of the Greek word sauros (lizard). The Latin word is lacerta [la'keɾ.ta]. "From Ancient Greek σαῦρος (saûros, “lizard, reptile”)." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-saurus-- Manfariel ( talk) 18:13, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
