Stilt Man

Deathstroke
Elongated Man

nimbus006
Magneto i like alot.

Mr. Sinister would be better if it was just Sinister without the Mr. IMO. still like it though.

LOL...Elongated man is REAALLLYY bad.

llagrok
Leapfrog is a pretty horrible name.
Radioactive man, yeah, that one's just a Simpsons rip off.
Most names from the serpent society are horrible.
Jack Flag

Teth Adam is a good one.
Anti-monitor 131
Kid Omega
Ronan the Accuser
Annihilus

nimbus006
I love him but Green Lantern is a TERRIBLE name.

Shazzam reminds me of Kazzam which was a terrible movie so i dont like it.

Power Man sucks

Wolverine, Daredevil, Sinestro, Blackheart are all pretty cool.

Jebus reborn
Thanos is a gooder.

Elongated Man really gets the point across, so that one's OK.


Wonder Girl, or any name with girl or boy, in my opinion, smokes pole.

Nightwing

Hulk
Iceman

Bats aren't rodents, Dr. Meridian. vin

Nightwing is a great name for a hero, though.

You have 'Iceman' as a good character name? What the f**k?

How unimaginative do you have to be to call a guy who's powers are ice projection and manipulation "Iceman?"

Same with Iron Man.

Thor girl sucks.

Validus is kind of a cool name, I guess.

Superman... unimaginative, but one of my favorites.

Scarlet Witch... bleh.

Quicksilver is a good name.

Mr. Fantastic sucks.

"The Thing" sucks major dick.

Yeah! Well not perfect but its not crap either, not exactly illogical.

Something a little less obvious would be nice.

And by that logic, should "Batman" call himself "Mr. Scary Dude?"

Batman is a good name.

The ****in 'Thing?'

It's an extremely piss poor name for a character.

Batman is a good name.

X-men name themselves after their powers more often than not. What kind of a code name would he give himself? Frosty? Its perfect, why make a name more complicated than it has to be.



Its still after a flying little rodent look a like. Clearly deranged behaver stick out tongue

Pfffft, it's to strike fear and terror into the hearts of criminals. To the unlawful citizens of Gotham, Batman is an urban legend... a sort of a "boogey" man type creature of the night.

Everyone knows that. mhm

Seriously though, the name is good for him.

Ronan the Accuser, great name.

His name is Ronan and he accuses people.

Symmetric Chaos
UncleMarvel

SpunkySmurph
I'd put Batman as a bad name, but after so many years, I couldn't see him having any other name.

Darth Macabre
Havok.
Gambit.
Zoom.
Sinestro.
Hotstreak is a pretty tight name, too.

That reminds me, once in a Darkseid vs. Apocalpyse debate, someone said "Darkseid can't even spell Apocalpyse, let alone beat him". laughing

Blight
Great name is Tempest smile

Terrible name is The Black Racer sad

Well he would be cool if he wasn't death personified as a skiier...

llagrok
Carnivore is a pretty decent name for a feral character, unlike Feral....

One of the best names ever... Optimus Prime

One of the worst names ever... Bumblebee (but i love him, so its ok)

draxx_tOfU
I like those with Adam ie Black Adam, Adam Strange, Adam Warlock...

other good ones imo are the Punisher, Midnighter, Lobo, Spartan, Vindicator, Firestorm, Validus, Hellion, Stardust, Grifter to name a few...

aside from those mentioned, some of the worst are Doctor Octopus, Takion, Anti-Monitor and usually those with man, woman, girl, boy, or captain...

The fact that he transforms into a yellow VW makes his name just fine. big grin miffed:
