Line 14:
**** 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-Vell]]. The name was also taken up by another woman who briefly joined the [[Fantastic Four]]. During [[Dark Reign]], Moonstone, a member of the [[Thunderbolts]], took the name Ms. Marvel as her identity in the [[Dark Avengers]].
* Multi-Man of DC Comics (debuted 1960) and Multi Man of the ''Impossibles''
* [[There Can Be Only One]] [[Spider-Man]]. However, there has been multiple identities of his somewhat "[[Distaff Counterpart]]" Spider-Woman: Jessica Drew (black
* 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 ''[[Tom Strong]]'' and ''[[Project Superpowers]]''.
* Changeling is either: a minor ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' adversary from the [[The Sixties|
** Morph from the
* [[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 ''[[Tom Strong]]'', his name was changed to ''Tom'' Strange, probably in part to avoid confusion and otherwise because he was in that story the alternate universe counterpart to Tom Strong.
Line 29:
* 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]].
* There is the [[Cult Classic]] ''[[Madman (Comic Book)|Madman]]'' comic and a [[Slasher Film]] from [[The Eighties|'80s]] called ''[[Madman]]''. They are both very different.
* Do not pick up the award winning graphic novel ''[[Jimmy Corrigan, The Smartest Kid On Earth]]'' expecting Jimmy to have any connection to [[Gotham Central|the Gotham City Police Department]] or [[The Spectre]].
* There seems to be no relation between Cain Marko (aka [[X-Men|The Juggernaut]]) and Flint Marko (aka [[Spider-Man|The Sandman]]), apart from the fact that both have fought [[Spider-Man]] and were co-created by [[Stan Lee]]. Flint Marko's name has since been retconned.
