What is Forge’s real full name ?

[Leo]

When will we learn Forge’s real full name, hell we already know wolverine, magneto, and rogue’s but this guy is still a mystery??

Wolverine's real name is best left forgotten. Howlett is so lame and on-the-nose. Knowing Marvel, they'll reveal Forge's real name as Nativi Americane Inventor.

Yeah, it’s always bugged me that Forge’s real name has never been revealed. Rogue had the same problem for the longest time… she still didn’t get a last name until she married Gambit.. Magneto went a long time before they settled on Erik Lensherr (let’s pretend the Max thing never happened haha). Wolverine went almost as long. It’s time for Forge to get a name!

I wonder if Storm even knows it...

Oooohh!! Fun fact! Apparently Claremont meant for Forge’s name to be… Daniel Lone Eagle!

This is very much non-canon, but interesting to find out. He has always been a loner and his base of operations was Eagle Plaza!

Jonathan Silvercloud, at least in an alternate universe.

Imagine dating him and not even knowing his name.

This was mentioned on the twitter thread I linked, and someone said this alias originated from fanfic. I can't say with any certainty.

EDIT: Wait, was that his Ultimate version?

[yogaflame]

I believe the name appears in the Ultimate continuity, and an alternate where he and Storm were married with kids referenced in a New X-Men/Academy story.

I can't find anything to confirm that that name was canon.

But anywho, having characters with unrevealed names was such an 80s/90s thing (Rogue, Gambit, Domino, Deadpool, Feral, Maverick, Bishop, etc.). Forge should have been given a real name long ago because he's not some character that needs to have a mysterious identity. He's not Wolverine with a centuries old past or even Rogue who's a runaway. Giving him a name now will be kind of contrived. I like Eagle as his surname because it explains why he named his base Eagle Plaza. That's going to be my head-canon haha.

He forged his name.

Eh? Eh? Get it?

[norj]

I don't think there is a mystery, it's just that the characters never bothered to ask and the writers never cared enough bother giving him one.

It's probably something stereotypical for someone Native American descent. Malcolm Runningdeer, Randell Bearclaw or Blackhorn.

Not saying those names are bad but Marvel rarely thinks outside the boxes when it comes to Native American names.
