Sometimes a character is so badass that they don't have just a name. They have their own nickname, one that is so badass that anyone who hears it [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|will crap their pants in fear]]. If they occasionally show up, be prepared to hear this nickname spoken repeatedly whenever they rescue someone.

== Anime and Manga ==
* In the one-shot ''[[Blame]]'' sequel, the lead character is referred to as "The Calamity" by the Silicon Beings. Given his penchant for [[One-Man Army|mass]] [[No Kill Like Overkill|destruction]], it fits.
Line 150 ⟶ 149:
** His cousin, [[Supergirl]], is either the Girl of Steel or the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Maid of Steel]] as a play on Superman's most common nickname.
* One character in the [[Marvel Universe]] is referred to by [[Mooks]] as "The Anti-Life" and "The Slayer of all that Breathes". That character is, of course, [[Squirrel Girl]].

[[Deadpool]]: [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Oh, c'mon, those stories can't actually count in continuity]]. }}
* Speaking of which, everybody give a great big hello to the Merc with the Mouth, the Regeneratin' Degenerate, the Crimson Comedian, iiiiiiiiiiit's...[[Deadpool]]!!!
