* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** Clark Kent/Superman. For that matter, Superman's entourage of people with the initials "LL"; Comicbook/LoisLane, ComicBook/LexLuthor, Lucy Lane, ComicBook/LanaLang, Lara Lor-Van, Lori Lemaris, Linda "Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}" Lee, Lyla Lerrol, Letitia Lerner, Lee Lambert, Luma Lynai, etc. The first two were coincidence; after that, the writers picked up the theme and ran with it. Also note that Kal-El read backwards also has two L's.
** There was a Superman story back in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|OfComicBooks}} that involved a threat against "someone close to Superman". There was a clue left in the form of two steel girders formed into a giant LL. Superman's reaction was along the lines of "Oh, great, ''that's'' real helpful."
** Lampshaded by Superman himself in ''ComicBook/ActionComicsNumber252'':
--->'''Supergirl:''' While you were gone, I used my super-hearing and heard many Earth-girls' names! I thought of a good one for myself... Linda Lee! How's that?\\
'''Superman:''' Er... As good as any! (thinking) Lana Lang was my girlfriend when I was Superboy, and Lois Lane replaced her when I became Superman! By sheer coincidence, she picked the same initials... L. L.!
** In ''Comicbook/KryptonNoMore'', Superman arrested a mob boss called Samuel Simeon.
** Talking about Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}, one of her best friends back in the Silver Age was Lena Luthor.
** AlternateCompanyEquivalent Hank Henshaw/Cyborg Superman.
** ComicBook/PostCrisis continuity included a Superman fanboy named "Bibbo" Bibbowski, who was a longshoreman and former boxer. (Even though "Bibbo" is a a nickname based on his last name, he still counts because his actual first name is Bo).
** Lampshaded in ''Superman #141: ComicBook/SupermansReturnToKrypton'', when Kal-El meets Lyla Lerrol, and before being properly introduced he just ''knows'' what her initials are on account of her being a beautiful woman who is drawing his attention.
--->'''Jor-El:''' Kal-El, I want you to meet...\\
'''Kal-El:''' Don't tell me her name...yet! I'll bet her initials are "L.L."! (thinking) Astonishingly, every girl who ever meant anything to me has alwayd had those initials![...]\\
'''Jor-El:''' Of course you know her initials! Who doesn't? Lyla Lerrol is Krypton's most famous emotion-movie actress!
** In Pre-Crisis comics, Lana's father was called Doctor Lewis Lang.
** ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' continues the double-L theme: Lana Lang's parents are Lewis and Laura Lang, and Lex's dad is Lionel Luthor. ''Lionel's'' parents? Lachlan and E'''l'''iza. (Several of these were already obscure comics canon.) Lex's mother name was Lillian and in a dream universe his daughter with Lana Lang was named Lily, and his hallucination on a desert island that was obviously himself was called Louis Leery.
** Subverted by Lex's actual given name: Alexis/Alexander Joseph Luthor.
** ''ComicBook/StrangersAtTheHeartsCore'': When posing as a human, Kryptonian villain Shyla Kor-Onn goes by "Sylvia Shadow".
** In ''ComicBook/SupermanSmashesTheKlan'', Roberta's full Chinese name is Lan-Shin Lee. [[spoiler: At the end of the story, Lois reveals that she gave her a case embroidered with "LL" because she knows Roberta's Chinese name.]]
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
** Similarly to Clark, Bruce Wayne once had a series of alliterative romantic interests, including Vicki Vale (played by Creator/KimBasinger in ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}'') and Silver St. Cloud. While Batman's own name doesn't directly count, one of his common monikers, "the Caped Crusader", is also alliterative.
** Cassandra Cain, the third ComicBook/{{Batgirl|2000}}. Cass went on to use the hero name Black Bat after leaving Batgirl to [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Stephanie Brown]].
** Katherine "Kate" Kane, the Pre- and Post-Crisis Comicbook/{{Batwoman}}. Post-Crisis, Kate Kane takes this an extra step with the nickname "Candy" from her time as a cadet boxer.
** The ComicBook/RedRobin title, which was first used by and Elseworlds version of [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]] before being brought to the main continuity as a costume and code name for [[ComicBook/RedHood Jason Todd]] and being taken up by [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim Drake]] after Todd abandoned it.

* Creator/AlanMoore references this trope in ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' by naming one of his heroes Daniel Dreiberg.
** There's also a minor side character, "Dr Manhattan's Buddy" Wally Weaver.

* The original characters in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse co-created by Creator/StanLee were often given alliterate names as a mnemonic device.
** Peter Parker/''Franchise/SpiderMan''. Among others, he had to deal with J. Jonah Jameson and Otto "[[ComicBook/DoctorOctopus Dr. Octopus]]" Octavius. Jonah himself has a son named John Jameson by his first wife, Joan, he later married Marla Madison, his editor-in-chief is Joe "Robbie" Robertson (who has a son named Randy), and secretaries have included Betty Brant (whose brother was called Bennett) and Glory Grant. The Bugle staff absolutely adores alliteration. In fact, JJJ is actually J. Jonah Jameson, ''Junior''. We have also Curt Connors, the Lizard, and Cletus Kasady, a.k.a. ComicBook/{{Carnage}}. This reached the height of absurdity with a splash page showing the characters attending a Bugle funeral. Of the ten characters named, ''nine'' had alliterative names, with only Aunt May not fitting in.
** Based off this, there was a FunnyAnimal version, named [[ComicBook/SpiderHam Peter Porker, The Amazing Spider-Ham]], who worked for J. Jonah Jackal.
** The novelization of ''Film/SpiderMan1'' [[LampshadeHanging hung a lampshade]] on this, by having Jameson name the Green Goblin in a headline. This resulted in a brief discussion on alliteration between J. Jonah Jameson, Peter Parker, the Bugle's editor Robbie Robertson, and Jameson's secretary Betty Brant... none of whom seemed to notice they were examples. The same point is made in ''Spider-Man 3''.
** As if to make his Expy-ness of Spider-Man more obvious, Hazmat of the Imperfects has the alter ego of ''Keith Kilham''.
** Scott Summers/ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and Warren Worthington III/Angel of the ''ComicBook/XMen''.
** ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' members Susan Storm[=/=]ComicBook/InvisibleWoman (although she changed her name when she married) and Reed Richards[=/=]ComicBook/MisterFantastic
** Doctor Otto Octavius aka ComicBook/DoctorOctopus.
** Oliver Osnick/Steel Spider. Formerly known as Spider-Kid and Kid Ock.
** Griffin Gogol/Captain Ultra (Marvel might be running out of names).
** Matt Murdock/''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}''. His mom is named Maggie Murdock.
** Stephen Strange/''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'', Master of the Mystic Arts (and sometime Sorcerer Supreme.) The various principalities and powers, and the effects they conjure, tend to be alliterative as well (e.g. the Blinding Brazier of Balthakk, the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth). Justified, since magic involves chants and spoken spells, and alliteration is a memory aid.
** ComicBook/PepperPotts, Tony Stark's assistant and/or love interest from ''ComicBook/IronMan''. (Although her first name is actually Virginia, she is best known by her nickname.) Doubles as a PunnyName. She is the team coordinator for [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Order_(Initiative)_(Earth-616) The Order]], which had a distinct majority of this among its ranks. Henry Hellrung, Rebecca Ryan, Magdalena Marie (born Magdalena Marie ''Neuntauben'', though), Avery Allen, Pamela Pierce, and Carlos Carvaho were all members of the team at some point or another -- just under ''two thirds'' of its all-time roster.
** ''ComicBook/MillieTheModel'', as well as other "career girl" features that Creator/MarvelComics debuted around the same time: ''Nellie the Nurse'', ''Sherry the Showgirl'' and ''Tessie the Typist''.
** Bruce Banner/''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk''. (The alliteration didn't save Stan from calling him "Bob Banner" in an early story, thus enshrining in canon the full name of "Robert Bruce Banner".) [[labelnote:on TV]]In [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977 the TV series]], it was changed to David Banner (with Bruce still as his middle name) because of directorial distaste for this trope. At least that's what Kenneth Johnson (the producer and writer of the bulk of the series) says. Stan Lee says that [[ExecutiveMeddling the producers]] thought the name "Bruce" sounded gay. See, back in the funky '70s the name Bruce was thought of as a "gay" name the United States.[[/labelnote]]

** Clark Kent/Superman. For that matter, Superman's entourage of people with the initials "LL"; Comicbook/LoisLane, ComicBook/LexLuthor, Lucy Lane, ComicBook/LanaLang, Lara Lor-Van, Lori Lemaris, Linda "Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}" Lee, Lyla Lerrol, Letitia Lerner, Lee Lambert, etc. The first two were coincidence; after that, the writers picked up the theme and ran with it. Also note that Kal-El read backwards also has two L's.
