Especially all the neologisms made smashing two words together, like Lustlord. You can't do that in Italian, so it'd be super clunky to try to translate it. These are the fun part. Language puzzles, in a way. :p

For Lustlord, I'd say lussuria + monarca = Lussarca. I think there's a nice ring to it, but I don't speak Italian so I could be way off mark; maybe it sounds too Pokémon-like. Pokèmon-like is exactly how I'd describe that kind of thing. In fact, the Italian translations of pokèmon have the tendency to do this thing way more than the English versions, funnily enough. While for example the English version would have something like Air Razor, the Italian one has Aerasoio. Or Water Pulse = Idropulsar.
