Tips

culture
威 "mighty/awesome" + 龙 "dragon" is a Hong Kong cinema cliche - see 赌神2's 高进威龙 and 威龙闯天关 (Justice, My Foot!, 1992, Stephen Chow). The construction (X威龙 / 威龙X) brands a tough-guy hero. Separately, 卫龙 (Wèilóng, "Defending Dragon") is one of mainland China's biggest spicy gluten-snack (辣条) brands - different characters but easily confused.
