** And, of course, there's the alien android who said [http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/c/capmarv1.htm SPLIT!] Who, in what is surely a complete coincidence, had a young friend named Billy ''Baxton''.
** So Captain Marvel [[The Beatles|zapped him right between the eyes]]...
** And then there's the [[Space Pirate]] [[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
*** [[Overly Long Gag|Aaannd]] we have the name Marvel Boy which has been used by a member of the [[New Warriors]] (who had an [[Alternate Timeline]] double to make things weirder), a teen Marvel superhero from the 50's, and a current Kree hero who also has a [[Ultimate Marvel]] counterpart. Marvel Boys have nothing to do with Captain Marvels, though. Neither does [[X
**** That said, the 1950's Marvel Boy had powerful Quantum Bands which eventually went to the hero [[Quasar]] who also very briefly took the name Marvel Boy before settling on Quasar. The Phyla-Vell Captain Marvel adopted the name Quasar for a while.
**** Speaking of Marvel Girl, this name was also used by [[Fantastic Four|Reed and Sue Richards]]' future daughter Valeria before [[It Makes Sense in Context|she was reverted into fetus inside her mom]], and Jean's [[Alternate Universe]] future daughter Rachel Summers.
** Now that we have the whole Captain Marvel/Photon/Marvel Boy/Quasar thing sorted out, let's turn to [[Ms. Marvel]]. Ms. Marvel was the [[Distaff Counterpart]] to [[Captain Mar
* Multi-Man of DC Comics (debuted 1960) and Multi Man of the ''Impossibles'' cartoon (debuted 1966) have surprisingly different powers.
* [[There Can Be Only One]] [[Spider-Man]]. However, there has been multiple identities of his somewhat "[[Distaff Counterpart]]" Spider-Woman: Jessica Drew (black haired, wears red, can float, super power reels more about spider venom), Julia Carpenter (blonde, wears black, can float, super power is more similar with Spidey (about spider web)), Mattie Franklin (seems to be [[Captain Ersatz|very-directly inspired]] on Spidey himself, uses spider-legs), and Charlotte Witter (Villainess, white haired, wears green-yellow (a bit like [[X
* DC Comics has a Batman villain named Scarecrow and Marvel Comics has a villain named Scarecrow (who bounces around Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Ghost Rider's rogues galleries). They even teamed up in Marvel Vs. DC. There is in fact another Marvel villain known as Scarecrow, but now referred to as Straw Man.
* For whatever reason, [[Green Lantern]] Hal Jordan happens to share a name with ''his own cousin'', Harold "Hal" Jordan, alias Airwave. Yeah, what?
* American Eagle is both the superhero identity of Jason Strongbow in Marvel comics and a [[Public Domain Character]] formerly of Nedor comics who has appeared since in ''[[
* Changeling is either: a minor ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' adversary from the [[The Sixties|1960's]] who underwent an off-panel [[Heel Face Turn]] and died while covering for Professor X; or another name for ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' member Gar Logan. Both have shapeshifting abilities, but they function differently from each other (the former can change into other people, while the latter can transform into animals).
** Morph from the 90's ''[[X-Men (
* [[Nightwing]] used to be Robin, but ''Nite-''wing is a mentally ill man who got his name from a sign advertizing chicken wings all "nite". The latter was a supporting character in the former's series.
* Dr. Hugo Strange is both a [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] hero and a [[Batman]] villain, but neither is to be confused with Marvel's [[Doctor Strange]], who himself should not be confused with one-off [[The Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] [[Iron Man]] villain Dr Strange. When the GA hero Strange was used in ''[[
* In the ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]]'' annual where future ''[[X
** Similarly, before the Jubilee we know debuted, there was an unrelated one-shot character with the same name and power (and even introduced herself with a similar line.) Evidently, it was a "wanted to reuse that character, but it wouldn't work with the way the older story ended" case.
* Fleetway Comics published stories about a kid who played practical jokes on people called...wait for it...[[The Joker|Joker]]. No comment...
* When most comic fans hear the name Starfire, they think of [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|a hot alien babe with orange skin]], who wears a [[Stripperiffic]] outfit and who is usually [[Most Common Superpower|stacked enough]] to rival [[Power Girl]]. The name also belonged to the Russian hero, Red Star at a time, a short-lived [[Supergirl]] villain and also a [[Hot Chick
* In the ''Knighfall'' series of ''Batman'' there is a Dr. Simpson Flanders. (No word on whether he greets himself every morning and then tells himself to shut up.)
* DC's Liberty Belle and Blossom's alter ego of the same name in [[The Powerpuff Girls]] episode "Super Zeroes." [[media:Belle1942_3716.jpg|One fights crime]], the other [[media:LibertyBelleBlossom_4975.jpg|gets held up in traffic while trying to fight crime]].
