    Default Which non-Marvel Character Has the Best Codename?

    To my mind at least, there are some comic character names that seem like they would have been the names of Marvel characters. Deathstroke, for example, seems like the name of a potential Daredevil or X-men villain.

    What are some of the monikers that stick out in your mind as perfect for a Marvel character? Not the character themselves, per se, but just their name.

    Looking Glass from Watchmen (2019).

    Everyone in the Shazam family except for Black Adam, due to the word Marvel being in their traditional names (Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr, Mary Marvel, Uncle Marvel, Lieutenant Marvel).

    Though technically not the codename of the main character "SCION" from the belated CrossGen Comics would make a better name for MARVEL's Hulkling since the plan to make Teddy a "Marvel" never came to fruition...

    In Todd Nauck's Wildguard comics, there's a character who has hot and cold powers called Freezerburn. It haunts me as one of the best codenames ever.
