This is a man who fights ...
... Kal-El.
Each line in the verse describes a word that begins with Le– and ends in one of the letters from s to y, so the word at the blank must be Lex. Lex Luthor is a supervillain who fights Superman. Superman was born on Krypton as Kal-El, and that rhymes with "tell". I've got all tags covered, I hope.:)
How do you do, my name's Gavroche,
Gavroche is the titular street orphan in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables.
