Even street orphans speak in riddles nowadays
How do you do, my name's Gavroche,
whispering words of wisdom, see?
Bucharest coins are nothing posh,
neither is neighbouring currency.
This is the man that wrote the song "Charmaine",
this is a man who fights (???).
In Spanish courts this word is often named.
What's in the blank space, can you tell?
Looking for the name of a fictional character.

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.
