I don't seem to understand the logic behind naming superheroes? Superman gets his name because he is 'super'. Batman because he is like a Bat (nocturnal), Spiderman because he moves like a Spider. Uh!! These are so terribly lame.
But when it comes to naming, the whole 'superhero creating' world is not as creatively crippled as the creators of the above superheroes.
Thinking of the good ones, Marvel Comics' X-Men, I feel, have the best names like Wolverine, Cyclops, Gambit and my favourite, Magneto. The unconventionally spectacular Frank Miller has a class of his own, with the characters of Sin City being on of my all time favourites.
Well, whatever their names are, the superheroes will continue to mesmerise us, but creative heads take note, the audience is getting smarter and from a whole range of Superheroes to choose from, the name is the first magnet you stick out to attract, so it better be good.
