In response to someone saying Ms. Marvel was a bad superhero name (personally, I think it's great), it had me thinking what superhero names people disliked the most.

I'll start off the one that tops my list: Thor Girl.

Spider-Man,Girl,Woman, the Legion of Superheroes names, even She-Hulk doesn't really bother me that much. But Thor Girl to me is a really bad name.

Why? Because Thor is his NAME, not his superhero identity. Everyone in Asgard goes by their name. Sif is her name. Odin is his name. Loki, Balder, Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg (okay Amora goes by Enchantress instead of her name) are their names. So why doesn't Tarene just go by Tarene? Thor Girl makes no sense.

It would be like if they made a male version of Emma Frost and called him Emma Boy. Or if a female Adam Strange was named Adam Girl.

Lol, you're right "Thor Girl" is a terrible name. I never thought of that.

My least favorite names are when they have "Black" in the title because of their skin color: Black Manta, Black Lightning, Black Panther. No one else has their skin color in their name. Besides Perry White.

One that I don't like/care for is Fire from the DC side of things. It just sounds bland, I don't mind Storm, Toad, Iceman (yes I know these are Marvel people =D), but for some reason the name "Fire" for someone sounds dumb to me lol

The Whizzer.

'nuff said.

I'd go with "Mister Fantastic".
I say that only because he chose the name for himself and he comes off sounding egotistical for naming himself that.
Admittedly, he hardly ever uses the name, but still, issue #1 he goes and names himself that.

That's not too bad.
Think about it.
If you're a criminal and some guy comes at you and announces he's the Whizzer, you might just give-up whatever criminal activity you're engaged in simply because you don't want this guy to pee on you.
He's got a costume, he's obviously a superhero, he calls himself "The Whizzer". You might think he will not only pee on you, but pee on you with super pee and who knows what's involved with that kind of super power.
He might kill you in a way that involves urine and then all your friends would laugh at your for being pee'd to death.

Time to give up your life of crime when some superhero with that name comes after you.

Repent thy evil ways.

Or, become a super villian, take the name "Depends" and try your luck at defeating him.

Matter-Eater Lad. I think the thing about that name that bothers me most is that you would expect him to be a big fat guy like the Blob since his power is eating, but you look at him and he's regular sized. False advertising.

As much as I love the character, being named after a worm puts "Nightcrawler" on the list.

I know it was because she would foul up her father's heists, but I always though Spoiler was a terrible name.

Also, despite being a cool character, The Silver Surfer. Just think about it.

Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man!

Composite-Superman.
Tho, that is still better then Compost-Superman.
And even better then Compost-Sewerman
And then there's Constipated-Superman. I don't even want to know what his super-powers consist of. I just know I don't want to be around him when someone attacks him with a glowing green ex-lax tablet.
Plus, he has a nasty attitude. He's always so irritable.

If you try to look at the names objectively and ignore how much you like/dislike a particular character...

It doesn't get any cheesier than Captain America...

Blue Beetle...next question

SUPER PRO :knockedou

I thought Black Manta's name didn't have anything to do with his skin color, he just happened to be revealed to be black later on down the road long after the fact.
