Another one-shot, but this one should probably be a collaboration and could take longer.

Here's a list of thirty names. The puzzle is to arrange them in pairs of two names, where each pair is the secret identity of a superhero.

(Example: if I gave the list

Garth
Krinn
Ranzz
Rokk

the solution would be

Garth Ranzz - Lightning Lad
Rokk Krinn - Cosmic Boy)

I picked out superheroes from comics, movies, TV and even literature. They aren't all the best-known characters, but this crowd should be able to handle that. It's possible that there's more than one way to solve the list; I'm not sure. Good luck!

Banks
Becky
Blevins
Botsford
Brandon
Brenda
Brett
Brewster
Byron
Crowne
Dark
Darryl
Jefferson
Jenny
Jim
Johnson
Jones
Joseph
Judy
Lewis
Lockhart
Matthews
Radley
Reed
Sally
Sam
Walker
Wilkins
Wilson
Woodrow

I guess that, with this puzzle, it kind of gets easier as it goes along.
