Line 32:
* The main character of ''[[Kick-Ass]]'' was named by the winner of a contest, who chose his own name, essentially Tuckerizing himself.
* ''[[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]'' encountered a retired comic book artist named ''Gardener'' Fox after aforementioned comics creator Gardner Fox. Gardener Fox then proceeds to outline a theory of alternate dimensions originally devised by his namesake. (And, obviously, [[Species Surname|he's a fox]]).
* Marc Spector, the main persona of [[Moon Knight]], was named after a friend of creator Doug Moench.
* In ''[[PS238]]'' there's a villain named Von Fogg who flies around in an airship and wears a helmet shaped like a bowler hat. Comics artist Phil Foglio wears a bowler at all his public appearances, and his comics imprint is called Airship Entertainment. (See Webcomics below for the flip side.)
* Carlie Cooper of ''[[Spider-Man]]'' was named after [[Joe Quesada]]'s daughter. The fandom was not amused.
* A few members of the Sinestro Corps in ''[[Green Lantern]]'' were named after DC staff members. Bur'Gunza (Eddie Berganza), Schlagg-Man (Adam Schlagman), Scivor (Ethan Van Sciver), and Duel Eknham (Doug Mahnke). Another member, Imecsub, was based off of actor Steve Buscemi.
== Fan
* Fans of ''[[Touhou]]'' often put the nickname of the series' creator, ZUN, into their derivative works—most often as an [[Unsound Effect]]. Strangely enough, ZUN's real name, Oota Jun'ya is rarely used, if ever.
* In L-Dog Z's ''Spider-Man Evolution'' series all minor mooks that are not pre-existing
* The author of the ''[[Drunkard's Walk]]'' fanfic series has admitted in [[All There in the Manual|his concordances]] that some of the minor original characters bear the names of his coworkers or former coworkers.
