I just read Day of Vengeance for the first time and my favourite part was when Detective Chimp is trying to think up a name for the team they are putting together to fight The Spectre. They eventually pick The Shadowpact, which I think is a pretty cool name. But one of his suggestions is 'The Oblivion Bar's All-Star Discount Hero Squad and Goodtime Travelling Bingo Show' which I reckon is much, much better.
Which teams could do with a new name because theirs is too boring, or you can think up a better one?
Which teams' name was bad right from the start, because it was just ridiculous or didn't really describe the team at all? Or it's just too plain?
I'll start. I loved Kurt Busiek's 'Power Company', but not because they were any good. I always thought their name sucked, because 1) They really, really weren't powerful at all and 2) they sounded like they wouldn't win many fights, but if your house needed re-wiring they might be able to pop round in their van and give you an estimate for repairs.
Thoughts? ( It doesn't have to be good guys, villains count too)
