Line 66:
* Classic ''[[Strontium Dog]]'' had an organisation called the '''C'''ommittee for '''U'''ltimate '''R'''etribution.
* Marvel's super-man Sentry had a super-computer which allowed him to decide which disasters to respond to in order to save as many lives as possible - '''CLOC''', the '''C'''entrally '''L'''ocated '''O'''rganic '''C'''omputer, which only received this illustrious name with the second volume of the series. In the same series, the Sentry's [[Evil Twin]] the Void was revealed to possess '''COLC''', the '''C'''omputer for '''O'''bliterating '''L'''ife '''C'''ompletely.
* Not sure if this falls under Comics or Real Life, but, once after Hal Jordan went crazy and Kyle Rayner became the only [[Green Lantern]], the real life organization dedicated to undoing this development was called '''HEAT.''' '''H'''al's '''E'''merald '''A'''dvancement '''T'''eam. Their website's mostly a Hal fanpage now, but it's [https://web.archive.org/web/20140607202311/http://www.glheat.cjb.net/ here].
* ''[[Empowered]]'' has the [[Pirate]]-themed group '''A'''dvanced '''R'''estraint '''R'''esearch.
* And then there's DC Comics itself. When the company first began in 1937, it was called "Detective Comics, Inc." Fans quickly began calling it "DC Comics," and eventually the company took this name officially. This has the unfortunate side effect of the company's full name being "[[Department of Redundancy Department|Detective Comics Comics]]."
