Character nicknames, epithets and sobriquets - best vs worst

Right from the beginning characters from all companies have collected various nicknames and unofficial titles like those below. There are many more, particularly from the DC side.

Which ones do you think are the best, perfectly summing the character up or most creative, or just your favorite? Which are the worst or most forced? This includes any others you can think of, as said there must be quite a few others...

How could I forget horn head and bucket head??? And yeah, the Hulk's were always good, Stupid Magician, Sword Girl, bugman etc.

Some of DCs were bad:
Flash - The Sultan of Speed
Plastic Man - The Sultan of Stretch
Aquaman - The Sultan of Seamen

Not sure if the last one was actually used ^

The LOSH must have had some?

Always liked the classics like Man of Steel, Last Son of Krypton, Dark Knight etc. Spider-Man also had quite a few good ones that suited the character.
