* Pepsi Man, the soft drink's Japanese mascot. There was also an earlier Pepsi Man who was played by Paul Rodriguez in Spanish-language American commercials.

* He-Mom, the no-nonsense mom of the superhero team ''The Ripping Friends''. And yes, it ''is'' worse than it sounds.

* Male Man from the webcomic ''I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space''.

* Strong Sad's fictional superhero persona: Twelve-Times-A-Day Man!

* Henry Danger's Captain Man

* DC's Amazon princess, WonderWoman, and Marvel's completely unrelated character, ComicBook/WonderMan.

Compare CaptainSuperhero (perhaps the second most common superhero naming trope), LukeNounverber (this trope's counterpart in SpeculativeFiction), TheAdjectivalSuperhero, TheAdjectivalMan, SpeciesSurname, JustForFun/TVTropesSuperheroTeam (a JustForFun page imagining any trope with a "something person" form was a superhero). Often, an AnimalThemedSuperbeing might use this sort of naming scheme.

** Also, during the episode featuring guest star Creator/RobinWilliams, the "Scenes From a Hat" game had the players making up unlikely superheroes, such as Creator/ColinMochrie's "Run Away From Danger Man."

* Oddly enough, ''Series/WhoWantsToBeASuperhero'' rarely has contestents with names like this, as the applicants are mostly GenreSavvy and consider these names overused. On rare occasion, however...

* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', an affectionate parody of the genre, used this in the in-world style; note Darkwing ''Duck'', as well as Gizmo''Duck'', a somewhat more respected crimefighter, and Nega''Duck'', his EvilTwin. And then there's the aliens from Mertz, all of whom are superheroes. The only named natives were Comet Guy, Official Guy, and Ordinary Guy (the only one on the planet without superpowers).

** During the Joel era, he and the bots came up with ludicrous superheroes for The Fantastic 85, with such heroes as "Lint Attachment-Man", "Jazz Trio-Man" ("Able to trade thirds with himself,"), "Really Deep-Man" ("He's really deep, man!") and "Always Smells Like Maple-Man". (And Man-Man, described above)

* {{Deadpool}} once had a short lived sidekick. His name? You guessed it: Pool-Boy.

*** This is particularly hilarious, as Captain Marvel was the name of one of ''DC'' Comics's flagship heroes long before Marvel made it big. Marvel managed to secure the rights to the name and the DC comic is now sold under the name "Shazam"...but the character is still called Captain Marvel. (Whereas in Marvel's universe there are about four Captain Marvels.)

* Plant Lady, Corncob Man, and Question Mark Man/Puzzlement Dude, Calvin's nicknames for [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and]] The Riddler in ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries''.

* Matter-Eater Lad.
* Calendar Man from Batman.

* Crazy quilt Man from Batman.

** Music/TheBreeders--sounds like a superhero team, but...as for what their '''power''' oughta be...[[{{Squick}} let's not go there]]--began as a one-off including members of Music/ThePixies, though finally '''way''' outlasting their progenitors. Debut CD ''Pod'' closes with "Metal Man", the lyrics an odd hybrid of SuperHeroOrigin and AlienAbduction. Unusually subdued for the Deal sisters, though before it's over they shoehorn an EpicRiff in the mélange. Only a bit of singing; most words are spoken by Josephine Wiggs, the band's "Coastal cutthroat" bassist (for details on said epithet, ask Kim what the song "Hag" means). Wiggs' deadpan Brit mumble adds an air of mystery to a track already notable for its [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible opacity]].

* ''VideoGame/SonicBlastMan''

* ''VideoGame/Dark Cloud'' has enemies named "Bombman" "Tuesday" "Friday" "Monday" and so forth. A lot of them aren't so unbearably dull but still.

** No connection to [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos another tall man.]]

** Element Lad of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuper-Heroes

** Element Lad of the Legion of Super-Heroes

* Negative Man from ''WesternAnimation/ TeenTitans''.

* Particle Man, Triangle Man, Universe Man and Person Man from the song "Particle Man" by TheyMightBeGiants.

* The Literature/LegionOfNetHeroes is filled with these. They're often either outright parodies or just plain silly. The list includes [[TheyMightBeGiants Particle Man]], [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Bicycle Repair Lad]], and [[NoFourthWall Fourth Wall Lass]].

* The Civic-Minded Five on TheTick included The Carpeted Man. Don't let him rub up against you, or you'll get a nasty static-electric shock!
** Also Four-Legged Man in the TV series, Oddman in the Comic Book, and Feral Boy in both.

Often, an AnimalThemedSuperbeing might use this sort of naming scheme.

** Not to mention Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham, the Spider-Man analog from a world of FunnyAnimals.

* Perhaps the most famous of them all, predating Superman by more than half a century: Joseph Merrick, "TheElephantMan"
* Also, Grady Stiles, aka "Lobster Boy". Suffering from ectrodactyly, he was born with his fingers (save for the thumb) fused together, causing his hands to look like the claws of a lobster.

*** KryptoTheSuperdog

* DC's Amazon princess, WonderWoman, and Marvel's completely unrelated character, WonderMan.

* [[SurvivalOfTheFittest Blood Boy]]
