What’s In A Name?: Cockroach-Man
Cockroach-Man was the unfortunate name choice of a quite powerful superhero who was nigh impossible to kill, could eat anything, was fast as hell and generally creeped everybody out. When a worldwide nuclear war wiped out the rest of humanity, he survived. Later, he found an untouched warehouse full of liquor and drank himself to death.

What’s In A Name?: Captain Heroic
First off, the son of Vern and Judy Heroic really was named “Captain” by his parents. His full name was Captain Harry Heroic and he hated it. He never served in the military, was short in stature and on the slender side. He also wasn’t very brave or macho. When he went off to college to study history, he changed his name to Harry Franklin.

What’s In A Name?: The Phantom Burp
Have you ever been about to say something and then burped instead? Well that is what happened the very first night that the evil criminal alter ego of Professor Renard Bertran made his appearance robbing the Montreal Diamond Exchange. He had the scary costume and he had the deep, commanding voice. He had gadgets and henchmen. He had a daring escape all planned out. What he shouldn’t have had was a second helping of poutine before going out. The police who had him surrounded asked him his name and he replied “I am the Phantom…”BURRRP!”. In retrospect, it could have turned out worse. He could have farted.

What’s In A Name?: The International Terrorist Syndicate
You’d think that when the worlds most dangerous terrorist organizations got together under one banner, somebody would have taken a look at the acronym, wouldn’t you? Never happened. It wasn’t until they announced themselves to the world and dropped a bundle on stationary, websites, propaganda leaflets, uniforms and decals on vehicles that somebody noticed it was T.I.T.S. Television newspeople couldn’t stop giggling. Print reporters made jokes and comedians worldwide struck comedy gold. Membership in the organization plummeted and eventually they just went into hiding.
