History FanNickname / ComicBooks

* "'''D'''istinguished '''C'''ompetition" - a phrase occasionally seen in Marvel comics. [[CaptainObvious Guess whom they mean.]]

* Shady - Shadow Lass (very near-lying)

* ''ComicBook/SpiderGwen'': The ComicBook/SpiderWoman of Earth-65, introduced in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' as a Gwen Stacy that was the one who was bitten by a radioactive spider, not Peter. In an interesting example of this trope, it was quickly canonized when she gained her own solo series entitled ''Spider-Gwen''. The character is almost ''never'' referred to as Spider-Woman [[IAmNotShazam except in her own comics]]. And even then, that's just in her own dimension, with other Spider-Heroes having no qualms with just calling her Gwen when she visits. And even ''then'', people in her home dimension start calling her Spider-Gwen too [[spoiler: after she publicly reveals her identity and the truth behind Peter's death]]. The third volume of her series, ''Ghost Spider'', begins with her lamenting about that last point and casually thinking about getting a new codename circulating (which ends up being Ghost-Spider).

** The ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel'' relaunch is even launching a book ''titled'' "Spidey".

* Spider-Gwen: The ComicBook/SpiderWoman appearing in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'', which is a Gwen Stacy that was the one who was bitten by a radioactive spider, not Peter. This was quickly canonized when she spun off into her own book titled ''ComicBook/SpiderGwen'', to the point that she's almost ''never'' referred to as Spider-Woman [[IAmNotShazam except in the comics themselves]].

** Retroboot / Deboot / Johnsboot - The version of the original continuity Legion that appeared starting in 2007's "The Lightning Saga", branching off from the preboot continuity just before [=5YL=], masterminded by writer GeoffJohns.

** Some of his detractors also know him as Dankor, because he [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Om8bnRjTT6s/SicfW3Zc7_I/AAAAAAAAAQY/X-fLfWmmXfA/s400/Dan_didio.jpg bears a strong resemblance to]] [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Xm3zx2GA3o0/SdjytvBw67I/AAAAAAAAAVY/uYMBzvCNhns/s320/Phantom+of+Krankor.jpg Krankor]], the villain of Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 film ''Film/PrinceOfSpace''.

[[CassToons One webcomic]] draws Dan Didio in an identical outfit.

* Nu252 - the post ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide'' universe for ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'', due to the fact that the start of its "reboot" occurred on issue #252, also a play on ''ComicBook/TheNew52''.

* Rohmagol - The fan theory that "Rohlan Dyre" in the ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' comics, starting with issue 14, is actually Demagol in his armor, posing as him.

* The Moose - the monster in the wall in ''ComicBook/JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac''. So called because one character says it sounds like either [[Creator/HPLovecraft rats in the walls]] or possibly a moose, and later there's a note saying 'definately not a moose'.

** The MoralDissonance version of the term Superdickery also has the derivatives [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batdickery]] [[note]]which can refer to dickery committed by Batgirl, Oracle, or Tim Drake's Robin too[[/note]], [[WonderWoman Wonderdickery]], [[TheFlash Flashdickery]], [[GreenLantern Lanterndickery, Guardiandickery]], [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Arrowdickery]], [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Wingdickery/Robindickery/Dickdickery]], [[SpiderMan Spiderdickery]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Fourdickery]], [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Capdickery]], [[ComicBook/IronMan Irondickery]], [[ComicBook/XMen X-dickery]], [[TheHulk Hulkdickery]], and finally the catch-all terms "Herodickery" and...

More rarely, ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven'', after the movie of the same name.
* The Brave and the Bold - GreenLantern and TheFlash when they team-up. It also referred to an old team-up book and, of course, WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold.

* The Three Old Men - Comicbook/GreenLantern (Alan Scott), Comicbook/TheFlash (Jay Garrick) and Wildcat (Ted Grant), the three remaining [[Comicbook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica JSA]] members from its 1940s origins. Occasionally, Hawkman is the fourth old man, but due to the various retcons and reimaginings of his origins, he may not still count as the same 1940s incarnation.

* Shulkie - ComicBook/SheHulk. Amusingly, the [[JohnByrne official writer]] that coined the term later went on a huge rant about people using fan nicknames like "Bats" and "Supes", saying it was disrespectful. This from the guy that nicknamed one "Shulkie".

** Some of his detractors also know him as Dankor, because he [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Om8bnRjTT6s/SicfW3Zc7_I/AAAAAAAAAQY/X-fLfWmmXfA/s400/Dan_didio.jpg bears a strong resemblance to]] [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Xm3zx2GA3o0/SdjytvBw67I/AAAAAAAAAVY/uYMBzvCNhns/s320/Phantom+of+Krankor.jpg Krankor]], the villain of Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 film ''PrinceOfSpace''.

*** As this was an increasingly annoyed Joe Quesada (also nicknamed Joe DeSade), said threat would be for Thone to stand for Thor-One and debut more Thor Clones unless everyone stopped complaining about Civil War..
