Military Rank Superhero Villain Names

Basically, the tendency of heroes and villains to have names that start with Captain, Major, General, Sergeant, etc., especially when it's doubtful that the character even has that military rank. Or has even been in the military.

Super-Trope of The Good Captain. Related to Colonel Badass.

Privates

 * Private Iron from Top Ten: The Forty Niners
 * Private HIVE from Teen Titans
 * Private Warr
 * When Captain Cold was de-aged to his early teens, he took the name Private Cold.

Sergeants

 * Sgt. Slaughter
 * Sarge Steel is interesting, because of Flip-Flop of God. Either he was a sergeant during his time in the military and the nickname stuck with him or his actual first name is "Sargent".
 * Sergeant Superior, one of the Actioneers from The Astounding Wolf-Man.
 * Sergeant Stomp from The Intimates
 * Sgt. Marvel of Savage Dragon

Lieutenants

 * Lt. Surge of Pokémon.
 * Lieutenant Liberty, one of the superheroes fantasized about by Insane Jane
 * In the Marvel Universe, the NYPD's Code: BLUE is called in to deal with superhuman threats, and can thus be considered superheroes in their own right. Their leader is Lt. Stone

Commanders

 * Commander Steel of the All Star Squadron. Two of his grandchildren tried to keep his legacy going, but out of respect to the fact that he really was a commander in the Marine Corps they went by Steel and Citizen Steel, respectively - averting and inverting the trope.
 * Commander Kraken, though as leader of a band of pirates he'd technically be a Captain.
 * Commander Capitalism, a prominent member of Capes, Inc.
 * Minor Wolverine foe Commander Courage is not only a supervillain, not only a real Lieutenant-Commander in the Belgian army, but his real name is Guillaume Courage.
 * As if to mock us, Captain Cold shows up here again with a 25th Century Legacy Character known as Commander Cold - and another one in the 853rd century!
 * Commander Power from Common Grounds
 * Commander Keen.

Captains

 * See The Good Captain and Captain Superhero for countless heroic examples.
 * Captain Boomerang
 * Captain Cold, an enemy of The Flash
 * In Dragonball Z, Captaing Ginyuu holds a quick job interview to find replacements for the lost members of his Quirky Miniboss Squad. One of the candidates tries to invoke this trope but accidentally "outranks" the captain and gets punted over the horizon for his insolence.
 * Captain Dynamic
 * Captain Valor, a villainous tribute to Captain Marvel.
 * Captain Steel, archenemy of Judo Girl.
 * Kapitan Krieg, Jack Staff's greatest enemy
 * Heck, This Very Wiki has Captain Geographic, Captain Patriotic, CaptainEthni---you get the idea.

Majors

 * Major Disaster
 * Major Glory from Dexters Laboratory
 * Major Victory of the Force of July
 * Major Force, archvillain of Captain Atom and perpetrator of the original Stuffed in The Fridge moment.
 * Ursa Major. And yes, he really does hold the rank of Major.
 * Major Bummer averts this while trying to play it straight - the title isn't the hero's superhero name, but it's intended to sound like it is.
 * Major Mapleleaf
 * Major Maxim, one of the primary antagonists of Danger Girl
 * Major Havoc, a teammate of Empowered's on the Superhomies.
 * Major Battle, a member of the Brute Force from Savage Dragon
 * Major Minor, a minor (shut up) member of the Circus of Crime

Generals

 * In WCW, Hugh Morrus went by "General Hugh G. Rection" for a while, and had as some of his cohorts "Major Gunns" and "Private Stash".
 * They've called the cruel Russian environment "General Winter" and then some. This is because the winter has kept invaders away with frightening success.
 * General Winter is given villainous human form in Silver Age Sentinels
 * General M. Bison
 * General Glory
 * Many Generals in comic books are likely to be actual generals - and most are antagonistic. General Sam Lane, General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, General Dru-Zod, General Wade Eilling, General Demetrius Lazer...
 * The General, a minor Batman villain obsessed with military history and strategy. For the record, he's a very young man who even went by "Li'l General" in his early appearances.
 * Wade Eilling is mentioned above, but in Post-Crisis continuity he simply started calling himself "the General" after being turned into a colossal monster man.
 * Classic Doom Patrol foe General Immortus
 * General Jumbo and his Jack Staff Captain Ersatz General Tubbs. Jack Staff and Captain Cold are sharing a good laugh right about now.
