** There's also the ''[[ComicBook/{{Totally Awesome|Hulk}} Totally Awesome]]'' Hulk, who is Amadeus Cho, not Bruce Banner; and the descriptor reflects how Amadeus is an immature teenager who enjoys his powers rather than angsting about them as Bruce does.

* The ''Savage''/''ComicBook/{{Sensational|SheHulk}}'' ComicBook/SheHulk

* The ''ComicBook/{{Immortal|IronFist}}'' Comicbook/IronFist. (Ironically, unlike ''Immortal Hulk'' and ''Immortal X-Men'' that came later, ''Iron Fist'' does ''not'' involve literal immortality.)

* The ''Mighty'' [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]]. (There have been other "_____ Avengers" teams, but all their titles ([[TheNewAdventures "New"]], "Secret", [[SpinoffBabies "Young"]], [[PsychoRangers "Dark"]], [[AnimalSuperhero "Pet"]]) are pretty matter-of-fact and don't quite fit the trope.)

* The ''Happy-Go-Lucky'' [[Comicbook/PatsyWalker Hellcat]].

* In ''Comicbook/TheMultiversity'', Earth-8's Spider-Man expy is the Battlin' Bug.

** There's also the ''[[ComicBook/{{Totally Awesome|Hulk}} Totally Awesome]]'' Hulk, who is ComicBook/AmadeusCho, not Bruce Banner; and the descriptor reflects how Amadeus is an immature teenager who enjoys his powers rather than angsting about them as Bruce does.

* The ''Immortal'' Comicbook/IronFist. (Ironically, unlike ''Immortal Hulk'' and ''Immortal X-Men'' that came later, ''Iron Fist'' does ''not'' involve literal immortality.)

** Marvel also uses "[[TheNewAdventures All-New, All-Different]]" from time to time. It originated with a roster overhaul for the X-Men, and is now a go-to phrase to hype up {{ReTool}}s and relaunches. Case in point, 2015's ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel'' relaunch. {{Legacy Character}}s may also get "All-New" in their titles, which then stick as a simple way to differentiate them from the original (such as the cases of [[ComicBook/AllNewGhostRider Ghost Rider]], [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Captain America]], and [[ComicBook/AllNewWolverine Wolverine]]).

* During her time on ComicBook/TheAvengers, ComicBook/MonicaRambeau was referred to as the ''Astounding'' Main/CaptainMarvel.

* Carol Danvers, the ''Mighty'' [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Captain Marvel]]

* The ''Magnificent'' Ms. Marvel, the March 2019 relaunch of ''ComicBook/MsMarvel2014''.

** Though a villain, and he hasn't carried a solo book, Cain Marke is often proclaimed to be the UNSTOPPABLE [[TheJuggernaut Juggernaut]].

* The ''Immortal'' Comicbook/IronFist

* The ''Unstoppable'' [[ComicBook/TheUnstoppableWasp Wasp]].

* The ''[[ComicBook/TheUnbeatableSquirrelGirl Unbeatable]]'' ComicBook/SquirrelGirl

* In general, when a franchise has multiple books, some of them will have adjectives in their titles and one won't; this one is usually given the FanNickname "The ''Adjectiveless'' ________". This was mostly seen in the 90s, with the ''Spider-Man'' series joining ''The Amazing Spider-Man'', ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'', and ''Web of Spider-Man'', and ''X-Men'' Vol. 2 joining ''The Uncanny X-Men'' (originally ''X-Men'' Vol. 1).

* The ''Incredible'' [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]]. This one has been used as the title of [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977 three]] [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1982 television]] [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1996 shows]] and [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk a movie]].

* ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk''

* The ''Incredible'' [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]]. This one has been used as the title of [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977 three]] [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1982 television]] [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1996 shows]] and [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk a movie]].

* Marvel even [[SelfDeprecation made fun of themselves]] for this trope back in the '60s with ''Not Brand Echh''. For example, their [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk muscular green guy in ripped pants]] was the ''Inedible'' Bulk. You [[BrattyHalfPint whippersnappers]] might have seen him in ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}''.

** There's also his partner, "The ''Wondrous'' [[ComicBook/TheWasp Wasp]]". "The ''Winsome'' Wasp" has also been used once or twice. Her successor is the ''ComicBook/{{Unstoppable|Wasp}}'' Wasp.

* Parodied in ''ComicBook/{{Static}}'', where the local GirlPosse all had MyNaymeIs names (Bryttyni, Tyffyni, and Krystyn) and were therefore dubbed "The ''Insufferable'' Y-Wymyn".

Comes from the same era as SomethingPerson names and SuperheroSobriquets, and often provides AddedAlliterativeAppeal. Replace a team's name with the number of members, and you have TheNotableNumeral. Also compare other name and title tropes involving adjectives, AdjectiveNounFred and TheMagnificent. Contrast the DarkAgeOfSupernames. See also TheFantasticTropeOfWonderousTitles.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}''. In fact, "the Ultimate Spider-Man" gets name-dropped several times in-show.

* The ''Terrific'' Whatzit, DC's first FunnyAnimal superhero (named "Whatzit" since he was a turtle who in his superhero identity didn't wear his shell, making it harder to tell what species he was), a turtle with the powers/costume of the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] Flash (and Johnny Quick's flying abilities).

* The ''Immortal'' [[ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist Iron Fist]]

** Though not as prevalent as most examples, the team itself has occasionally beet called "the ''Fabled'' Fantastic Four".

* A one-shot comic parodied the ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' as the ''Mightily Murdered Power Ringers'' ("Teenagers with ineptitude!"). When the entire team dies, the Zordon CaptainErsatz keeps sending in replacement groups. First comes the "Mighty Methane Power Ranges" ("Giving the villains a [[AC:raw deal!]] Heroes that really cook!"), then the "Mighty Morphine-Powered Addicts" ("Taking a shot at evil! They aren't just hyped, they're hypo!"), then the "Naughty Nighty Powder Puffers" ("In the ready and in their teddies! It's [[AC:Victoria's Secret Squadron!]]"), and finally, the non-specific "Something Something Something Somethings" ("The greatest whatevers there ever was! There's [[AC:nothing like them!]]").

* From ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': The ''Unstoppable'' Airman Higgs. He ''may'' not be ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, but so far he's pretty much MadeOfIron and seems to be fully capable of going toe-to-toe with jaegermonsters ([[EpilepticTrees or be one with a somehow-human appearance]]).

* The ''Incredible'' [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]]. This one has been used as the title of [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk three]] [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1982 television]] [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1996 shows]] and [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk a movie]].

* The ''Despicable'' SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}}, christened as such when he decides to [[FaceHeelTurn give up on trying to be a hero]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyDucks''

* The ''Incredible'' [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]]. This one actually transferred to two [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk television]] [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk shows]] and [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk a movie]].

* The ''[[ComicBook/FearlessDefenders Fearless]]'' Defenders, a short-lived AmazonBrigade team. The name comes from a ''Comicbook/FearItself'' spinoff, ''The Fearless''; and is likely doomed to be shorthand for "not ''that'' [[ComicBook/TheDefenders Defenders]] team, the all-girl one".

* From Disney's ''Disney/PeterPan'', the musical number "The ''Elegant'' Captain Hook".
