{{quote|'''Kari:''' What does the 'S' stand for?

Superheroes are in many ways much like athletes. Both frequently perform amazing physical feats we envy; both often collect themselves into teams with fancy names; both wear colorful, form-fitting uniforms.
And both have a tendency to adorn those uniforms with single letters of the alphabet. Stumped for a [[Chest Insignia]]? Just style up the first letter of your [[Code Name]] in sufficiently distinctive [[Useful Notes/Fonts|typeface]], and have at it!
{{examples|Examples:}}▼
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Ichi of ''[[Ichi the Killer]]'' wears a big "1" on his back, since [[Meaningful Name|his name]] means "one" in Japanese.
* Similarly, ''[[Ah
* ''[[
* The big red R for Rocket of Team Rocket, general bad guys of the ''[[Pokémon (
** Team Rocket had a form of [[Lampshade Hanging]] of this in an episode. They set up a fake Pokemon Center by covering part of the letter 'R' painted on the wall with a piece of paper, making it look like the 'P' associated with Pokemon Centers.
* Gai Shishioh from ''[[
** "G" is for the entire [[
* "G" is for... ''[[
** The late 80's comic version of ''Speed Racer'' by NOW Comics claimed that the "G" stood for Greg, which was Speed's real name in the comic (making him Greg Racer).
* [[Chargeman Ken]] has a large letter "K" on his orange sweater.
* ''[[Bleach]]'''s Ichigo Kurosaki has a 15 on his room's door. It becomes kind of a pun if you realize "Ichi" is 1 and "Go" is 5. Plus he's 15.
** His sister refers to him as 'Ichi-nii', which, while short for 'Ichigo-niisan' (big brother Ichigo), is also similar-sounding to ''ichi-ni'', which translates as "1-2". ''Ichi-niisan'' itself sounds a lot like ''ichi-ni-san'', which is "1-2-3".
* The Straw Hat Pirates of ''[[
** Luffy wears a '01' because he is captain or a '56' which reads 'go-mu'.
** Zoro, next in command wears '02'
** Nami wears a '03' as well as '73' (Na-mi)
** Usopp wears a '04'
** Sanji sports a '05' as well as '32' (San-ji) and '56' (Ko-kuu/kokku)
* Dr. Minami in [[Heroman]] has an M on his shirt. Wonder why.
* In ''[[
** The "S" in later Asurada models stands for "Sugo", the racing team the main character, Hayato is in. Shoemacher/Osamu in 11, also has the letter "S" in his racing suit. And Kaga's racing suit has the letter "Z" in it, as he belonged to Aoi ZIP formula.
** Some of the team logos also has letters in it, like the "S" for Sugo and "Z" for Aoi ZIP.
* "A" is for [[Crayon Shin
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* In [[The DCU]] ...
** "A" is for [[
** "E" is for [[Legion of Super-Heroes (
** "G" is for [[Green Arrow]]
*** When his former sidekick, Speedy/Arsenal/"Red Arrow", adopted a red version of GA's costume, it included the "G"-shaped buckle at first. When the moniker "Red Arrow" became official, the belt buckle became a distinct "R".
** "GG" is for Guy Gardner, during the period when he was operating as a superhero (using Sinestro's yellow ring) with no codename other than his own name.
{{quote|
"Remember what he said it stood for?"
"Yeah. 'Girl-magnet'." }}
** "GF" is for Geo-Force.
** "i" is for [[Legion of Super-Heroes (
** "L" is for the [[Legion of Super-Heroes (
** "P" is for [[Legion of Super-Heroes (
** "R" is for Robin. The resemblance of the original "R" logo to the official "registered trademark" symbol is uncanny, and has been the source of some humor in the past.
*** 'Registered
** "S" is for [[Superman]] (and "family"). He may possibly have been the [[Trope Codifier]], since he is such a prominent example. Bizarro uses a reversed (twisted in the DCAU) "S".
*** Oddly enough, Superman's Jewish parody Shalomman uses the Hebrew letter shin, which is the initial letter of the word "Shalom." His bizarro-equivalent had the Hebrew letter sin, which in addition to being a shin-with-a-backwards-dot also made a pun on the word "sin."
*** [http://www.the-isb.com/?p=20 No, Superman, the "S" does] ''[http://www.the-isb.com/?p=20 not]'' [http://www.the-isb.com/?p=20 stand for Shakespeare!]
*** "S(blank)" is for too many homages/parodies of Superman to count.
*** In the 1978 film they make it clear that the reason for the S symbol is that traditional Kryptonian garb always included a chest insignia with a family seal on it, and the seal of Jor-El's clan just happened to look kind of like what we think of as the letter S. This is why Superman's outfit has that symbol on it already when it was made out of the
*** In ''[[
*** Superman once defeated a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]] called Draaga in gladiatorial combat on Warworld. In the comics, Draaga wore a replica of Superman's costume, while on the ''[[Justice League]]'' cartoon he actually burned an "S" symbol onto his chest - in both cases this was so he wouldn't forget his failure.
** "T" is for Tasmanian Devil (of the [[Global Guardians]] and Justice League Europe) and Red Tornado. The current Mr Terrific has a T-shaped mask. Well, unless that's just facepaint.
Line 70:
** "?" is the Riddler.
* In the [[Marvel Universe]] ...
** "A" is for [[Captain America (comics)]] (on his head) and Apocalypse (on his belt buckle).
** "D" is for Demolition Man (sometimes just called "D-Man"). ''Two'' means [[Daredevil]]... though this gets a little complicated when you realize that Daredevil's original costume really did have the one "D", and is in fact the very same costume worn by D-Man.
** "F" is for Flatman, a member of the less-than-astounding [[Great Lakes Avengers|Great Lakes]] <s>Avengers</s> <s>X-Men</s> <s>Champions</s> [[Great Lakes Avengers|Initiative]].
** "G" is for Galactus (on his belt buckle in his first appearance).
** "H" is for Hawkeye. And Hardball.
** "I" is for [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|Mr Immortal]], the Man Who Can't Die [[Blessed
** "N" is for Nomad.
** "P" is for Puck (of ''[[Alpha Flight]]'').
Line 84:
** "X" is for the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'s "x-factor" or "extra factor" in their mutated genes.
** Not a letter, but each member of the [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]] goes into battle with a large "4" emblazoned somewhere on their uniform.
* "MM" is for [[
* [[Archie Comics|Jughead Jones]] typically wears a sweater with the letter "S" on it...the meaning of which is known only to Jughead.
* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20190216202011/http://www.johnnysaturn.com/ Johnny Saturn] the Utopian, as an example, wears a stylized "U" on his chest. A variation of this would be Titanium Tom, who wears a patch on each shoulder with ''Ti''
* The revived ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' comic books featured many Darkwings. If they were Darkwing versions of other heroes, they'd have a 'DW' or 'D' on them (such as the Incredibles version). {{spoiler|One exception is a result of the entry under Western Animation; one of the infinite Darkwings took over Gosalyn's identity of Quiverwing Quack.}}
* In ''Son o' God'' comics (from the ''[[National Lampoon]]'', of course), [[Jesus]] wears spandex with a cape and a "JC" on his chest.
* In ''[[
== Fan Fic ==▼
* [[Hard Light|Holographic Retro]] of ''[[Calvin and Hobbes The Series (Fanfic)|Calvin and Hobbes The Series]]'' has an "H" on his forehead.▼
▲* [[Hard Light|Holographic Retro]] of ''[[Calvin and Hobbes
* When he's actively doing super-hero-type stuff, Doug "Looney Toons" Sangnoir of ''[[Drunkard's Walk]]'' swaps the Harley-Davidson patch on his leather jacket for a [[Warner Bros]]-styled shield with the letters "LT" in it.
== [[Film]] ==
Line 101 ⟶ 100:
*** "EG" is for Elasti-Girl; she dropped this after the intro of the movie, for plot-explained reasons.
** "S" is for Syndrome.
* "G" is for G-Girl, from ''[[My Super Ex
** Interestingly, she never explains what the G stands for.
* "1" in an "engraved" style similar to that on the one dollar bill for U.S. Bill of ''[[The Specials]]''.
* "M" is for both [[Megamind]] and Metro Man. {{spoiler|After Metro Man [[Faking the Dead|faked his death]] he chose to change his name to "Music Man" and pursue a career as a singer.}}
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (
{{quote|
** And in [[Harry Potter and the Philsopher's Stone (
* The eponymous letter in ''[[The Scarlet Letter]]''. It's a red 'A', which is supposed to stand for "adulteress", but since Hester, the woman sentenced to wear it, is so helpful to the people in her community, they start to believe it stands for nicer things, such as "admirable".
* "?" is used by the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors in ''[[
▲== [[Live Action TV]] ==
▲* "?" is used by the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', possibly related to the fact that his signature contains a question mark.
** The Cybermen of series 2 and the 2008 Christmas Special feature a 'C' on their chests, standing for Cybus Industries, the organization that created them. The Doctor lampshades this, saying that they have been 'franchised'. The Cybermen that appeared in "The Pandorica Opens" still used this design, despite being the original Mondas Cybermen, due to budget issues.
* "CH" is for [[El Chapulin Colorado|Chapulin Colorado]].
* "G" is for Super Grover.
* "V" is for Major Victory, a season 1 contestant on ''[[Who Wants to Be
* From ''[[Kamen Rider]]'':

Line 125 ⟶ 122:
** "S" is for [[Kamen Rider Stronger]], with "T" used in sidekick Tackle's breast designs.
** "RX" is for [[Kamen Rider Black RX]]
** In a non-Latin example, the Greek letter "Phi" is for [[Kamen Rider Faiz]].
*** "Chi" is for Kaixa
*** "Delta" is for [[Shaped Like Itself|Delta]]
Line 132 ⟶ 129:
*** "Omega" is for Orga
** [[Kamen Rider Decade]], [[Milestone Celebration|celebrating the 10th year of the show's Heisei era]], sports an "X" for 10.
** "W" is for [[Kamen Rider Double]] (the Japanese often use the letter "W" as a shorthand for the word "double"). All the show's Riders and [[Monsters of the Week]] fall under this trope, as their [[Transformation Trinket
*** "A" is for [[Second Rider|Accel]], [[Kaiju|Anomalocaris]], and [[Weapon of Choice|Arms]].
*** "B" is for [[Feathered Fiend|Bird]], [[Beast Man|Beast]], [[Stuff Blowing Up|Bomb]], [[Joke Character|Bean]], and [[Bat Out of Hell|Bat]].

Line 159 ⟶ 156:
*** "Y" is for [[Mental Time Travel|Yesterday]].
*** "Z" is for [[Villain Teleportation|Zone]].
* Non-superhero example: In ''[[Laverne and Shirley]]'', "L" is for Laverne DeFazio. She has a cursive "L" on every blouse, shirt and sweater she owns. This was carried over to her ''[[Nonuniform Uniform|military uniform]]'' in the [[Animated Adaptation]].
* In the 1970s PBS children's series ''[[The Electric Company]]'', a recurring cartoon feature, "The Adventures of Letterman", had the eponymous hero sporting a different letter on his "varsity sweater" each episode; his power was the ability to [[Reality Warper|change one object into another by replacing a letter in its spelling]]. When his arch-enemy, the Spellbinder, fired a '''dart''' at him, Letterman replaced the 'd' with a 't', turning it into a '''tart''', which he then ate.
* [[Saturday Night Live|The Ambiguously Gay Duo]] have G for Gary and A for Ace. Unsurprisingly, there happened to be times when they had to stand next to something large and Y-shaped.
* Betty Suarez of ''[[Ugly Betty]]'' wears an identical "B" necklace.
* From ''[[Super Sentai]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers]]'':
** The members of [[Himitsu Sentai Goranger|Goranger]] all wear belt buckles shaped like a "5" ([[One, Two, Three, Four, Go|as in "Go" for five]]), while each of their helmets are individually numbered from 1 through 5.
** The four main members of [[JAKQ Dengekitai|J.A.K.Q.]] wear belt buckles shaped like a "J", as well as individualized helmets and badges engraved with the first letter of their respective "rank" ('''J'''ack, '''A'''ce, '''K'''ing and '''Q'''ueen). Big One wears a belt buckle shaped like a "B1" and a helmet with a "1" engraved on it.
** "BF" is for [[Battle Fever J|Battle Fever]] on the chest of the Battle Fever Robo. The individual members of the team have the first letters of their respective countries engraved on their belt buckles as well ('''{{color|red|J}}'''apan, '''{{color|fuchsia|A}}'''merica, '''{{color|green|K}}'''enya, '''{{color|blue|F}}'''rance and '''{{color|orange|C}}'''ossack, who represents the Soviet Union<ref>or is it CCCP?</ref>).
Line 180 ⟶ 177:
** "D" is for [[Gosei Sentai Dairanger|Dairanger]]. Its counterpart, ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' Season 2, dropped this but added a villainous version with "Z" for Zedd.
** "N" is for Ninjaman (in ''[[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger]]'') and Ninjor (in ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' Season 3). Oddly, when Ninjaman powers up into Samuraiman he changes his emblem, yet it still resembles an "N" instead of an "S". (''Power Rangers'' doesn't have this problem because Ninjor keeps his name in both forms.)
** [[Chouriki Sentai Ohranger|King Ranger]] had 王, the kanji for "king", on the face of his helmet and on his staff. It provides a [[Bilingual Bonus]] in ''[[Power Rangers
** "C" is for [[Gekisou Sentai Carranger|Carranger]]. (''[[Power Rangers Turbo]]'' ignores this completely and it's just a generic logo.) Also (in both shows), "S" is for Signalman and Blue '''S'''enturion.
** "M" is for [[Denji Sentai Megaranger|Megaranger]] (again, just a generic logo in ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]''). This also shows up on the mecha in non-logo forms, though the later ones' "MV" and "MW" (Mega Voyager and Mega Winger) do apply to ''Power Rangers'' as those names weren't changed. In addition, "N" is for Negiranger, but this also is ignored in the US as we call them the [[Psycho Rangers]] instead.
** "H" is for [[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger|Hurricaneger]] or, probably more accurately, Hayate Ninja Academy. (Once again, it doesn't stand for anything in ''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm]]''.)
** "SPD" is for [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Special Police Dekaranger]] or [[Power Rangers SPD|Space Patrol Delta]]. They also have numbers on their chests, "1" to "5" for the main team and "100" and "VI" (6) for the [[Sixth Ranger|extra members]], plus the occasional [[One
*** "M" (1000), which some also take in a roundabout way as 7 (M -> IVI -> VII).
*** One with no blatant number, but the design on the chest can be interpreted as "8", "白" (the kanji for "white" - which resembles 百, the kanji for a "hundred" minus one stroke, [[Stealth Pun|making her 99]]), or a heptagon representing seven.
Line 190 ⟶ 187:
*** ''SPD'' only: A Ranger wannabe wears, appropriately enough, 0.
** "M" is for [[Mahou Sentai Magiranger|Magiranger]] and [[Power Rangers Mystic Force|Mystic Force]]. In the same series, "W" is for Wolzard and Knight '''W'''olf and "S" is for Magi'''S'''hine and Solaris Knight.
** AkaRed, the living embodiment of every red ranger in history, originally wore a badge engraved with the number "30" during his first appearance in ''[[Go Go Sentai Boukenger]] vs. Super Sentai'' (which commemorated Sentai's 30th anniversary). This was updated to "35" when AkaRed returned as a semi-recurring character in ''[[
** The main [[Engine Sentai
** The [[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger|Shinkengers]] and [[Power Rangers Samurai|Samurai Rangers]] wear the appropriate Japanese kanji (火 fire, 水 water, 木 wood/forest, 土 earth, 天 sky, and 光 light) on the visors of their helmets.
** "B" is for Basco in ''[[
** "GB" is for [[Tokumei Sentai Gobusters
** "A" is for [[Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger
* ''[[Seiun Kamen Machineman]]'' has "M" for the titular character, in both his superhero form and his [[Cool Car]]-[[Cool Plane]] vehicle.
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* "H" is for Hurricane, former resident superhero of the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]. "R" is for Rosey, his boy (well, 300-pound Samoan who acts like a boy) sidekick.
** "R" may have been Rosey's insignia once he graduated from sidekickery, but first he was a [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|"Super Hero In Training" (S.H.I.T.)]].
* Scott Steiner used the Superman S — actually the full Superman logo, until the expected legal action forced a change to an S in an ellipse.
* In another non-superheroic example, during his WWE tenure, the number "13" was for Tazz. According to Tazz, the "13" represented the bad luck his opponents must have had to have drawn him as their opponent for the evening.
* Some of [[Kurt Angle]]'s singlets featured an "A" inside a Superman-esque shield, obviously standing for Angle. In his typical smartass fashion, [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] came up with his own vulgar ideas of what the "A" stood for.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'': H is for Elemental Hero, but D is for Destiny Hero and N is for Neo-Spacian (although just to be confusing, one Elemental Hero works with all Neo-Spacians). Not to mention that each of the letters of the word 'Hero' has its own card. Since one of them gets any Elemental Hero from the deck to your hand, and another Special Summons an Elemental Hero from the Graveyard, this could be a literal case of Brought To You By The Letter S (or in this case, E/O).
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Akuma from ''[[Street Fighter (
* "M" is for [[Mario]], "L" is for Luigi, "W" is for Wario, and logically enough, "Γ" (capital Gamma) is for Waluigi. All these symbols appear on characters' [[Nice Hat|hats]], rather than on their chests.
* ''[[City of Heroes]]''' ridiculously extensive costume creator gives you a choice of the entire uppercase Latin alphabet and figures 0–9. After six months of subscription, players get to access all letters of the Greek alphabet, uppercase and lowercase.
** Although ironically for a superhero game, not many players follow this trope.
* Klavier Gavin (Kyouya Garyuu in the Japanese version) in ''[[Ace Attorney
* DK! [[Donkey Kong]]! On his tie, uniquely enough, but it's also his only piece of clothing.
* In ''[[
* Marisa Kirisame's design in the 12th ''[[
** Hina Kagiyama, a curse/misfortune goddess, has a stylized kanji 厄 (''yaku'') on her dress, meaning "misfortune".
* In ''[[Space Channel 5]] Part 2'', "P" stands for Purge.
* ''[[Twilight Heroes]]'' features the "letter shirt" for its superheroes, which can be customized to show any capitalized letter in the English alphabet.
* Picky Minch from ''[[
* As a parody of ''[[Kaiketsu Zubat]]'' in ''[[Battle Golfer Yui]]'', Wonder Man Dibot's outfit is covered with the letter D.
== [[Web Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', "M" is for Strong Mad. Coach Z wears a medallion with a stylized letter "Z" on it.
** "TH" is for Bubs' alter ego, the Thnikkaman.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[
* Mister Mighty, of ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'', of course wears a gold "M" in an oval.
** His teammate, Dot Dash, wears a dot-and-dash on her chest; Morse code for the letter "A". This is one of the most convoluted [[Punny Name]] references ever: The dot is for her first name Dorothea, the dash is for her super-speed, the "A" is for her maiden name of Axel, and Morse code for her married name of Morse.
* In ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]],'' after Bob very briefly becomes a [[Superhero]] and then loses his powers, he says his one real regret is that he used a permanent laundry marker to make the "B" logo on his shirt.
* Evan from ''[[
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'': "50", as found on the back of
* ''[[
** The actual trolls themselves are this as well, in a strange and roundabout way. The symbols the trolls wear on their shirts are twelve out of thousands which just so happen to coincide with our own zodiac symbols. Each color acknowledged by the hemospectrum has a library of hundreds of symbols associated with it; every troll is assigned one after they pupate, and they must wear it somewhere upon their person their entire lives. This symbol acts as a single-character signature for them and they may, in fact, sign documents with it.
== [[Web Original]] ==
Line 250 ⟶ 242:
** 'V' for Velocity.
** There's even one villain with a number: '8' for Eight-Ball.
* 'S' for Simon of the ''[[Yogscast]]'' in real life: He wears a distinctive blue [[Superman]] hoody. For a time in 2011, Simon's character Honeydew in the ''[[Yogscast Minecraft Series]]'' had a metallic S symbol over his chest, which Simon claimed was for Simon AND Superman.
* In ''[[Neopets]]'', most Aishas have collars with the letter 'A' on them. The Darigan-colored one has a 'D' instead, and the Snot-'colored' one has an 'S'.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* "A" is for Alvin, as in ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks]]''.
* "R" is for [[Richie Rich (comics)|Richie Rich]], at least as [[Hanna-Barbera]] animated him.
* "M" is for Marvin White, the aspiring superhero in the first season of ''[[
** "J" and "Z" are for Jayna and Zan, the Wonder Twins.
* In the classic [[Looney Tunes|Bugs Bunny]] short "Super-Rabbit", "S" stands for Super too.
* All Canadians on ''[[
* I.R. Baboon from ''[[I Am Weasel]]'' has an upside-down "IR" scribbled on his shirt.
* After fiddling around with casual outfits for José Carioca's comic book series, they eventually settled on a T-Shirt with a "Z" on it, for "Zé".

* "DP" is for [[
** And [[Opposite

* "M" is for Multiple Man of the Impossibles, for his namesake of the Super Globetrotters and for Moe Howard of the Robonic Stooges.
