Fighting over villain names must be like fighting over band names. There must be some criminal super-lawyer somewhere who makes sure each villain has a(n il)legal right to the name. But when a villain abandons the name (by dying or going to prison, perhaps), the name is up for grabs. So some newcomer grabs it. And then--what do you know?--the original owner comes back to life or gets out of prison and a fight ensues.
Hey, if names like The Byrds, Jefferson Starship, and The Guess Who are worth fighting over, then Starfinger surely is.

So, I've had this vision for a really cool version of Starfinger the past couple of days. It's kind of Tony Stark combined with the Moriarty from the BBC Sherlock series.
It's like this really well-dressed, flamboyantly gay criminal mastermind with tons of little gadgets at his disposal, from a powerglove and genie-summoning ring to a full-blown suit of armor that he can don when necessary, and who runs his criminal empire from a groovy base in one of the domed cities of Mars.
