* Several of classic ''ComicBook/Superman'' spinoffs would put his name first, giving us titles like ''Superman's Pal ComicBook/JimmyOlsen'', ''Superman's Girlfriend ComicBook/LoisLane'' or ''Superman's Archenemy ComicBook/LexLuthor''. Nowadays this is mostly averted, outside of occassional throwbacks or LampshadeHanging, like when after a team up, Superman offers ''ComicBook/{{Sideways}}'' to become a team.
