Line 91:
* [[Green Lantern]] Hal Jordan, whose real name is "Harold" but is never addressed as such, ''ever''.
** His friend Tom Kalmaku once had the nickname "[[Unfortunate Names|Pieface]]", and he was referred to as such constantly. It was a more ignorant time.
* For the first two decades of her published existence, Rogue of the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] was known just as "Rogue", even to her nearest and dearest (which according to at least one version of her origin published before 2001 was shown to be her nickname before she discovered her powers). Only after the makers of the first movie decided to saddle her with "Marie" did that eventually bleed over into the comics, [[Chris Claremont]] eventually naming her Anna Marie Raven. (The surname is almost certainly an assumed name, it is identical with the the first name of her adoptive mother, Raven Darkhölme aka Mystique).
* The [[Daredevil]] villain Bullseye, is only known by that name and when asked for his name, "Bullseye" is what he always responds with.
** Turns out his first name is ''Lester''. again with the nickname being an improvement.
