A Comic Book Naming Convention - sort of - with roots in the Silver Age. The superhero's name is preceded by some sort of silly, over-the-top adjective such as "The Egregious Trope-Man". Usually in the actual book's title even if rarely used in the story. Keep in mind that not just any descriptors qualify for the trope — "New Trope-Man" is too simple, but "All-New, All-Different Trope-Man" can be sufficiently over-the-top. Now mostly used in the modern day either due to the Grandfather Clause or as a deliberate homage to the Silver Age. If the superhero gets a movie, expect the descriptor to be used at least once. Comes from the same era as Something Person names and Superhero Sobriquets, and often is an Alliterative Name. Replace a team's name with the number of members, and you have The Notable Numeral. Also compare other name and title tropes involving adjectives, Adjective Noun Fred and The Magnificent. Contrast the Dark Age of Supernames. See also The Fantastic Trope of Wonderous Titles. Not to be confused with The Adjectival Man, where the adjective is the main part of the character's "name". In this trope, the adjective is just thrown in for the heck of it. |

The Mighty Thor During The New '10s, Comic Book/Jane Foster took over as the new Thor, along with the "Mighty" title, after the original lost his faith in the gods and could no longer lift his hammer. When the original Thor got a series of his own again to complement Jane's, it was titled The Unworthy Thor. In The New '20s, The Immortal Thor was published by the same team behind Immortal Hulk. |

Miraculous Ladybug. Although within the setting, the term Miraculous is not just an adjective, but also a noun. In the pre-production stage, when Ladybug was only conceptualized in mock comic book covers by Astruc and a friend, she was referred to as the Mini Menace Ladybug. |

The Fearless Defenders, a short-lived Amazon Brigade team. The name comes from a Fear Itself spinoff, The Fearless; and is likely doomed to be shorthand for "not that Defenders team, the all-girl one". | |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, as a Reconstruction of the Super Robot genre, would be a callback to this - the protagonists' main mecha is the Gurren Lagann, and "Tengen Toppa" means "Heaven-Piercing". However, as the Gurren Lagann keeps gaining upgraded forms later in the series, its final formnote at least in the main series - the Compilation Movie gives it a stronger "Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann" form is dubbed the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, turning this trope into a straight-up Title Drop. | |

Robin: Tim introduced himself as "The Spectacular Sunbird" when he needed to distance himself from Robin for secret identity purposes and was dressed in most but not all of the Robin costume.

Any character's counterpart from the Ultimate Marvel universe is invariably referred to as "the Ultimate [X]" when put beside their normal-universe counterparts; though the books themselves have technically dropped this kind of title system for a while in favor of Ultimate Comics: [X]. | |

When Blade needed to hide his identity, with the help of a Bland-Name Product Spider-Man outfit from a costume shop, he became the Splendiferous Spider Hero. With "Spider Hero" written across his chest. The Superior Spider-Man was not amused. | |

The Invincible Iron Man. It briefly ran alongside an International Iron Man book in 2015. He briefly became the Superior Iron Man shortly after Spider-Man ended its own Superior run. There was no direct connection between the two, but both books involved their protagonists dropping their usual principles - Spidey due to a body-swap, Tony due to having his morals magically inverted. The Infamous Iron Man is Doctor Doom trying to lay claim to the name while Tony Stark is taking a break from heroics. (Lucky for everyone, Ironheart picked up the slack and acted as an actual heroic Iron (Wo)Man in the Invincible book.) |

The Astonishing Ant-Man. This adjective serves as a reference to the fact the original Ant-Man, Hank Pym, made his first appearance in the anthology comic Tales To Astonish. One Ant-Man, Eric O'Grady, was a complete Jerkass, so his series was titled The Irredeemable Ant-Man. "Irredeemable" is still used to differentiate him from the other Ant-Men, Pym and Scott Lang. There's also his partner, "The Wondrous Wasp". "The Winsome Wasp" has also been used once or twice. Her successor is The Unstoppable Wasp. |

He may not be Exactly What It Says on the Tin, but so far he's pretty much Made of Iron and seems to be fully capable of going toe-to-toe with jaegermonsters, the elite soldiers and barbarian pillagers altered by mad scientists to form the armies of the Heterodynes. It is later revealed that he is in fact the Jaeger Spymaster, whose human appearance allows him to infiltrate various other factions. | |

The Amazing/Spectacular/Sensational Spider-Man, although Spidey himself prefers to use "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" (which was eventually used as a book title itself). He may well have been the Trope Codifier for this, as his first appearance was in Amazing Fantasy, which was soon after canceled, and replaced on the newsstands with Amazing Spider-Man. When improvising a costume out of a borrowed Fantastic Four costume and a mask out of a paper bag, he became the Amazing or the Bombastic Bag-Man. He is also the Avenging Spider-Man while a member of the Avengers, and the Fantastic Spider-Man while a member of the Fantastic Four. When Venom acted as him during Dark Reign as a member of the Dark Avengers, he was called the Sinister Spider-Man. Sinister has also been applied to Silk as she drifts towards a Face–Heel Turn. The Superior Spider-Man is Doctor Octopus having hijacked Peter's body. When Blade needed to hide his identity, with the help of a Bland-Name Product Spider-Man outfit from a costume shop, he became the Splendiferous Spider Hero. With "Spider Hero" written across his chest. The Superior Spider-Man was not amused. Spider-Girl also eventually inherited Amazing and later Spectacular from her dad. The Radioactive Spider-Gwen (That can't be good!). Miles Morales is often referred to as the Ultimate Spider-Man, referring to his original book, to distinguish him from Parker. |

The Incredible Hulk. This one has been used as the title of three television shows and a movie. Lampshaded by Peter David (who else?) in a story where the Hulk meets Rick Jones' mother-in-law. When she exclaims "Green skin! Amazing!" he replies "No, Spider-Man is amazing. I'm incredible!" The most well-known incarnation of the Hulk, the green, childlike one who (typically) speaks Hulk Speak, is known as the Savage Hulk, which has been used as a title for a series at least once. The Hulk has flirted with a few other descriptors, Rampaging and Indestructible, but neither lasted very long. There's also the 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 Immortal Hulk, referring to a tweak to Banner's powerset and a genre shift towards horror. |

There's also the 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. | |

Averted with Doctor Strange, who uses Superhero Sobriquets instead, but his enemies often fit this trope (the Dread Dormammu, the Unrelenting Umar). | |

NOBY NOBY BOY in Japanese. "Nobinobi" is an adjective that means "to grow quickly", something the extremely elastic BOY does very well. | |

The Infamous Iron Man is Doctor Doom trying to lay claim to the name while Tony Stark is taking a break from heroics. (Lucky for everyone, Ironheart picked up the slack and acted as an actual heroic Iron (Wo)Man in the Invincible book.) | |

In City of Heroes, starting at level 15, you can choose an adjective title for your character. At 25, you can add a second adjective (or just choose from a separate list). The complete list of titles is here. | |
