Thought the LEGION UNIVERSE code-names were already bad? Let's see how much worse they can get...

CALAMITY KING easily could have been...

It wouldn't have been absurd at Silver Age DC for SATURN GIRL to have been called...

Mind-Zapper Lass

Lightning Lad - Static Boy

Porcupine Pete = Ouch King

Nura as YOU-DON'T-GOTTA-TELL-US QUEEN

Could KARATE KID have cut it as...

Kid Unarmed Combat

Nobody yet gave my sister the moniker Injun Guide? Good! Still, I'm glad she wasn't around in the (29)50s ...

Actually, in her debut story (by Paul Levitz), minutes after her introduction, an exasperated Sun Boy said, "Perhaps Little Mary Sunshine would like to play navigator or pilot!" That referred to a stereotypical Indian maiden in a 19th Century melodrama. Never again did Levitz come anywhere near that close in using something as denigrating or obscure for describing any character.

This thread made me laugh several times re-reading it!

Just by adding suffixes or prefixes we can come up with some pretty good ones:

Off-white Witch

Bipolar Boy

Colorful Kid

Stoned Boy

Nightly Girl

Duplicating Dude

Half-Life Lass

Beastly Boy

Gaseous Girl

Lighten Up Lass

Cosmical Boy

Foreshadowing Lass

Well, he looks like you.
(Have I said that before? Strong DJV!)
