The premise was that early heroes were easy to defeat because villains could figure out how to defeat them just by listening to their names-for example, if you knew The Fantastic Fireboy was coming, you would know to bring a fire extinguisher. The following group of heroes counteracted this by have more generic names and changed their costumes a lot so that the bad guys wouldn't recognize them from afar and be able to prep.
Does anyone recognize this graphic novel?
Nobody remembers a graphic novel where the heroes changed their names and/or costumes to keep the baddies confused?

Just out of curiosity...
Did you just hear this was the premise of this mystery title/graphic novel?
If not and you actually read it, do you recall any specifics about the title that might ring a bell for folks who come across this thread?
I am asking for a friend. He thinks that:
1) It was in the format of an old fashioned Marvel Graphic Novel from the '80s, so it was bigger physically than a normal comic book sized graphic novel.
2) The publishers never did much else. They published one or two graphic novels, and maybe a few comics and that's it.
