* Iron Spider/Iron Spidey - The name for the suit worn by Comicbook/SpiderMan during the Civil War. It was designed by ''ComicBook/IronMan'' and even used the same colour scheme. It's since been made official by merchandising and ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance 2''. However, in at least one comic, guys dressed in copies of the suit are referred to as "the Scarlet Spiders" instead. This is fitting, considering that they're clones like the original Scarlet Spider, though not of Spidey himself.
* [=SpOck=] - The Comicbook/SuperiorSpiderMan, as a combination of Spider-Man and [[spoiler:Doc Ock]]. [[spoiler:Spider-Ock]] is also used.
** Inferior Spider-Man
** [[FreakyFridayFlip Freaky Friday Man]]
** SS-Man is also common.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderGwen'': The ComicBook/SpiderWoman of Earth-65, introduced in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' as a Gwen Stacy that was the one who was bitten by a radioactive spider, not Peter. In an interesting example of this trope, it was quickly canonized when she gained her own solo series entitled ''Spider-Gwen''. The character is almost ''never'' referred to as Spider-Woman [[IAmNotShazam except in her own comics]]. And even then, that's just in her own dimension, with other Spider-Heroes having no qualms with just calling her Gwen when she visits. And even ''then'', people in her home dimension start calling her Spider-Gwen too after [[spoiler: she publicly reveals her identity and the truth behind Peter's death]]. The third volume of her series, ''Ghost Spider'', begins with her lamenting about how embarrassing it is have her real name as part of her hero identity, casually thinking about getting a new codename circulating (which ends up being Ghost-Spider).
[[AC:Franchise/XMen]]
* Claremazon - Quite a few female characters (including but not limited to Storm, Sage, Shadowcat, and Psylocke) when written by Creator/ChrisClaremont, [[AuthorAppeal who had a knack]] for creating strong super-heroines, and powering up established ones (such as Marvel Girl becoming the Universe-Smashing Phoenix, or Moira [=MacTaggert=] now jumping into battle with an assault rifle). Also referred to as "Claremont Woman", to distinguish from the subdued damsels characterized as "Stan Lee girls".
* [[ClaremontCoefficient Claremontization]]: the accumulation/development of increasingly entangled continuity complications such as {{Kudzu Plot}}s, {{Continuity Snarl}}s, {{Retcon}}s, {{Tangled Family Tree}}s and {{Love Dodecahedron}}s over the course of a run on a title. Claremont is possibly the most famous instigator of this effect, during his ComicBook/XMen runs.
* Boobilie[=/=]Boobilee, Wondra Bra- ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics of the ''ComicBook/XMen''. The Decimation event making her lose her superpowers seemingly granted her the MostCommonSuperpower in exchange by the time she appeared in the latest ''New Warriors'' revamp as "Wondra", hence the name.
** Vampilee - Vampire Jubilee, her post-Wondra status quo.
* Pooky - ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}. Mostly given the cute nickname due to how often he jobs.
** Also "Pocky" and "Ole Pokey Lips", the latter of which was coined by Deadpool (and Apocalypse does have some gigantic blue lips).
* Nimbo - ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} of the X-Men in her ninja incarnation. Portmanteau of "{{ninja}}" and "bimbo", inspired both by her LeotardOfPower and her playing the FemmeFatale trying to seduce Cyclops in the '90s. The term has been used for similar characters (e.g. ComicBook/{{Elektra}} and Zealot of the ''Wild C.A.T.s'').
* Sniktbub - Comicbook/{{Wolverine}}; coined on Website/FourChan from his two favorite catchwords, with inspiration from PokemonSpeak.
** Sniktdud (when people didn't like him much) and Sniktpunk (in reference to his hair)
** Sniktling - for Wolverine's son {{ComicBook/Daken}}. May also be used for X-23, as a general term for Wolvie's spawn.
*** Trollverine has become the popular name for Daken.
** Sniktboob, Sniktloli, Girlverine, or Wolverine Girl for Comcbook/{{X 23}}, Wolverine's genderswap clone. The last one was used in-continuity in ''ComicBook/AvengersAcademy'' #35. Currently, she's simply "Wolverine" (since the original holder of the name is dead).
*** Pejoratively, Honey Garbage for X-23's clone Honey Badger.
** Also just "Wolvie" or "Our li'l Berserker-rager".
* Cyke for ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}
** After the events of the Mutant Messiah storylines, and everything after (when he developed an in-universe reputation as mutant Hitler and starting feuding with the Inhumans), fans started calling him "Rightclops."
* Due to the five original X-Men having been displaced in time to the present in ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen'', they are collectively called the O5 whenever they need to be referred to as a group. I mean... what's the alternative? Actually calling them the "All-New X-Men"? [[NonIndicativeName That wouldn't be very appropriate]].
* X-Men Corrections: Given to Creator/ChrisClaremont's WordOfGod FixFic ''ComicBook/XMenForever'', which attempts to convey how Claremont would have handled the X-Men franchise had he not departed the X-Books in the 1990s.
* The Heckfire Clubhouse - The ReplacementScrappy Hellfire Club made up entirely of [[EnfantTerrible Enfants Terrible]].
** Also [[SpinoffBabies The Hellfire Kids]] or Hellfire Brats or Hellfire Babies. They get a lot of derisive nicknames.
* ''Wolverine and the X-Men'' new recruit Ira Dos Santos, due to her preview images, managed to pick up the nickname "Shark Tits". She was effectively a [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent were-shark]]. [[NonMammalMammaries Who retains her breasts in shark form]].
* "The Pissing Contest" or "The Dick Measuring Contests", and various similar titles are often used to describe Cyclops and Wolverine's recent spat in the main comics and their split. Whenever the two meet and start arguing, usually someone will make a crack about them 'having another Pissing Contest'.
* The Juggernaut, Bitch - The Juggernaut, based on [[WebVideo/MyWayEntertainment the parody]]. Some people actually refer to him by this in full.
** On a similar note to Darkseid (see DC), the Juggernaut since his HeelFaceTurn has been known as Jobbernaut, though since he got his powers back and it is implied that he will make a FaceHeelTurn, the name may soon be nonapplicable.
[[AC:Assorted Marvel]]
* Marvel comics deserves special mention in that it propagated the use of nicknames to refer to many of its own characters with their "next issue" blurbs. For the record, Iron Man is Shellhead, Daredevil is Hornhead, Thor is Goldilocks, Hulk is Greenjeans, Jade Jaws, or the Jade Giant, Spider-Man is Webhead, the Webslinger, and Wallcrawler, etc, etc.
* If a franchise has multiple books with TheAdjectivalSuperhero titles and one without, fans will term the one without as "The Adjectiveless [Hero(es)]".
* The Big Three - ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, ComicBook/IronMan, and Thor; generally considered the cornerstones of the Avengers.
** Namor, the original Human Torch and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica when referring to Timely Comics (Marvel's Golden Age precursor).
** Teamwise is Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men
* Bleedball - When Speedball had his powers changed during [[MarvelUniverse Marvel's]] ''Comicbook/CivilWar'' [[CrisisCrossover crossover event]], to the extent where he had to wear a iron-maiden-esque suit and was renamed "Penance". [[DorkAge This wasn't well received by comic fans]], when a otherwise [[FunPersonified happy-go-lucky character]] got changed so that he needed to feel pain for his powers to work.
* King of Everything - For ComicBook/NormanOsborn when the US Government decided he should be in charge of everything concerning supers.
* Rulk (the ComicBook/RedHulk) was originally a fan nickname but has since gained official status in the books.
* Before even being confirmed as a real deal, a group of the most powerful villains in MarvelUniverse [[spoiler: Including Molecule Man, the Beyonder and Mephisto]] that appeared at the last page of ''Dark Avengers'' #10 were nicknamed ''The League Of Ultimate Evil [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Enchantress]]''.
* Shulkie - ComicBook/SheHulk. Amusingly, the [[Creator/JohnByrne official writer]] that coined the term later went on a huge rant about people using fan nicknames like "Bats" and "Supes", saying it was disrespectful. This from the guy that nicknamed one "Shulkie".
** To be fair, it would hardly be the only example of rampant hypocrisy stemming from one of Byrne's rants against anything and everything he finds wrong with the comic world.
** Let's not forget "I've come to enjoy being called Polly," from Hippolyta. At least Jen is a deliberately playful character who doesn't take herself particularly seriously. The [[Franchise/WonderWoman Queen of the Amazons]], less so.
* Clor - The clone Thor, from Marvel's ''Comicbook/CivilWar''.
** This one may have since gained semi-official status, as Spider-Man has recently been cited as referring to him in universe as such.
** At one point, Joe Quesada threatened to have him officially named "Thone" (i.e., "Thor Clone"). His canon name has since been established as Ragnarok.
*** As this was an increasingly annoyed Joe Quesada (also nicknamed Joe [=DeSade=]), said threat would be for Thone to stand for Thor-One and debut more Thor Clones unless everyone stopped complaining about Civil War..
* Earth-666: the ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'' reality.
** The Marvel Zombies official, canon reality number is actually 2149, as stated by the official website. Absolutely no idea where Earth ''666'' has come from.
*** "Earth 666" is a play on "Earth 616", which is the mainstream Marvel Universe. Sources have been mixed as to why it's "616" but it generally is thought to do with the first publication date of Fantastic Four (In 1961, in the 6 month (June))". Generally, Marvel Universes are labeled by arbitrary numbers, though most have a connection to the publication date of the first comic to to take place in that Universe, though this isn't always the case.
*** Funnily enough, in older translations of the Bible, 616 is the NumberOfTheBeast, not 666. It works on multiple levels!
* Iävengers - The 'evil' Avengers from the Marvel Cthuluverse as seen in RealmOfKings.
* Subby - [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor The Submariner]]. Also used in-universe; ComicBook/BuckyBarnes is particularly fond of it.
* Fightbolts, Ellisbolts, Cagebolts - Various incarnations of the ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}, referring to the decried retool of the original series, Creator/WarrenEllis' run and Creator/JeffParker's current team led by Luke Cage, respectively.
* Cosmic Avengers - The Annihilators, an alliance of Marvel's space heroes. Started when the team was teased but an official name hadn't been released yet.
* Fans are fond of referring to the 2011 run of ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMystery'' as [[DownerEnding Journey]] [[BreakTheCutie Into]] [[TearJerker Misery]]
* [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]] - Julie Power, a.k.a. Lightspeed of ''ComicBook/PowerPack'', who leaves a rainbow trail behind her when she flies.
* [[Film/TheLittleRascals Alphalpha/Alfalfa]] - Alpha
* Hawkguy - ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, thanks to Creator/MattFraction's son.
** And before that, Lady Hawkeye for Kate Bishop, to differentiate her from Clint Barton. Became especially necessary once they ''both'' started using the name. Matt Fraction himself refers to her as Lady Hawkeye, as seen in the letters column.
* "Barakapool" for the InNameOnly version of Deadpool seen in ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine''. Headpool for the zombie version of Deadpool after he had his head chopped off.
* Nicole Fury/Nick Fury Jr. is used to refer to Daisy Johnson (Quake), since ComicBook/NickFury is her mentor and she uses his methods just as he would. "Nick Fury Jr." has since been claimed as the real name of an actual biological son of Fury's.
* As a very broad example, thanks to the All-New Marvel NOW! relaunch adding ''All-New'' to the beginning of several series' previously established names, fans generally just remove it altogether. For example, ''All-New X-Factor'' is generally referred to as ''X-Factor''. The only series exempt from this are ''All-New X-Men'', since there's already a comic called ''X-Men'' and the fact that it was the first title to use the adjective (it was launched with Marvel NOW! as opposed to All-New Marvel NOW!), and sometimes, ''All-New Invaders''.
** ''All-New Ghost Rider'' is referred to as ''Ghost Rider'' or ''ANGR''
* Snortblat: Thor. When the new, female Thor was revealed, a commenter on themarysue.com proposed the original be renamed "Snortblat", and site members gleefully adopted the name. While he has dropped the "Thor" name in canon, his official replacement name is "Odinson".
* Some fans have actually refer to Jane Foster/Female Thor as '''W'''oman t'''hor'''. Beta Ray Bill is Thorse, and more often Beta Ray Bro.
* In his Maker guise, Ultimate [[spoiler:Reed Richards]] is sometimes referred to as [[spoiler:"Mr Creeptastic"]] in the fandom.
* The Social Justice Warriors - referred to the Avengers team of Captain America (Sam Wilson), Thor (Jane Foster), Nova (Sam Alexander), Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan), and Vision.
* The community has taken to calling the terrigen mist clouds the "fart clouds."
[[AC:Franchise/CaptainAmerica]]
* Cap - ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. Has been canon for awhile, but still one of the most popular nicknames fans use for him.
** ComicBook/CapsKookyQuartet - The all-new, all-different Avengers lineup from 1965 consisting of Captain America and then [[HeelFaceTurn newly reformed]] ex-villains Hawkeye, [[SuperSpeed Quicksilver]], and the [[WindsOfDestinyChange Scarlet Witch]].
** Bucky Cap - [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Bucky as Captain America]]. Another ascended nickname.
*** Robo-Arm of Doom - Bucky's bionic left arm.
** Captain Falcon - Sam Wilson, the Falcon, in his role as the current Captain America. The joke writes itself, people(apologies to the ''Videogame/FZero'' series).
*** Falcap, Sam Cap, Snap Cap - other nicknames for Sam-as-Captain-America: a portmanteau, a pastiche of "Bucky Cap," and a pastiche of "Bucky Cap" combined with Sam's pimp name, mainly because it rhymes.
** [[spoiler:Captain HYDRA]] - the nickname given to Steve after [[spoiler:it's revealed that he was a ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} agent the entire time.]]
* The Mighty Shield - Carried by ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. Never referred to as such in the comics. ''Often'' referred to as such on fan discussion boards. Comes from the theme song to a '60s cartoon: "When Captain America throws his mighty shield!"
* Steeb - This nickname seems to be more popular in the movie fandom. It's just a cutesy mispronunciation of "Steve," useful when cooing over Creator/ChrisEvans being alternately heroic and dorky.
[[AC:Franchise/IronMan]]
* Shellhead - Affectionate nickname for ComicBook/IronMan, used by his allies.
* Also often referred to as "Tin-Man", though less frequently.
* Der Eisenfuhrer - Tony Stark, after leading the effort to throw fellow heroes into the Negative Zone prison camp and becoming head of the Initiative. Usually used derisively by fans as a reference to bad writing (see also: [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batdickery]]).
** Also known as "Bureaucrat in Chief" during his 'Director of SHIELD' era
* When his armour became sentient and insanely possessive it became known as Tony's "Abusive Boyfriend".
[[AC:Franchise/SpiderMan]]
* Spidey - Comicbook/SpiderMan, though this one has been canon for a while.
** Spidey is even used in Marvel's handbooks, especially the ''Official Index to Amazing Spider-Man''.
** The ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel'' relaunch even launched a book ''titled'' "Spidey".
* Doc Ock - ComicBook/DoctorOctopus; another one that's become ubiquitous both in- and out-of-canon.
* Iron Spider/Iron Spidey - The name for the suit worn by Comicbook/SpiderMan during the Civil War. It was designed by ''ComicBook/IronMan'' and even used the same colour scheme.
