* Used frequently in ''ComicBook/AstroCity'', but these are one of the the least obvious examples - '''C'''harles and '''R'''oyal Williams from "The Dark Ages" grow up to become a '''c'''op and a '''r'''obber.
** In a meta-example, the '''Silver Age'''nt is named because after the Silver Age of comic books, which he embodies via his actions. [[spoiler:It's also fitting that the "Silver Age" era of ''Astro City'' ends when he was executed for a crime that he didn't commit.]]

Added "Sleepless" Example to Works List

Added DiffLines:

* The protagonist of ''ComicBook/{{Sleepless}}'', Lady Pyppenia, is nicknamed Poppy. Poppies are the flowers from which opium (a drug that relieves pain and causes unconsciousness) is derived, and are associated with sleep or drowsiness. Lady Poppy is guarded by a Sir Cyrenic, a knight of the Sleepless Order whose magic vow prevents him from falling asleep.
