 * Tobia Arronax is often referred to as "UC's Chuck Norris" or "UC's MacGyver" because of all the crazy stunts he gets away with. Seriously. The kid is tough.
 * Papsmere Circus - Paptimus Scirocco. The guy had such a silly name already it had to be made sillier.
 * Mobile Suit Victory Gundam
 * Queen Bitch of The Gundam Universe - Katejina Loos.

 * Gundam Wing
 * The Perfect Soldier - Heero Yuy
 * The Bat-Gundam - The Gundam Deathscythe Hell in Gundam Wing, especially the Endless Waltz version, based on its resemblance to Batman.

 * Jesus Yamato - Kira Yamato as of Gundam SEED Destiny. Given to the character by disgruntled fans who feel that the character was made invincible and given an Omniscient Morality License simply due to being popular with the Japanese audience, or because of the perceived notion that he is series director Mitsuo Fukuda's Marty Stu. Related are the nicknames "Virgin Mary Clyne" or "Virgin Mary 2.0" for Lacus Clyne, for the same reasons as Kira, only with Lacus being accused of writer Chiaki Morosawa's Author Avatar.
 * In the wake of his death, Chairman Durandal acquired the nickname "Space Commie Naraku" due to his striking resemblance to the Big Bad of Inuyasha and the fact that the Destiny Plan is essentially Communism IN SPACE.

 * Prince Ali - Ali Al-Saachez, since his first name is a popular name for Arabian Nights princes, but most infamously the disguise used by Aladdin in the Disney version: Prince Ali.

 * The name 'Bushido Bob' was given to Graham Acre in the mid-series break due to the mask he was seen wearing in the previews for season 2.
