In comic books, this is especially true of the names of {{Super Hero}}es or their close hangers-on. It was a favorite tool of Creator/StanLee's, since, swarmed with projects, he often had trouble remembering the characters' names, and the alliteration worked as a mnemonic device. (Though it didn't always work perfectly — Lee occasionally referred to "'''P'''eter '''P'''almer" and "'''B'''ob '''B'''anner")
