Marvel seems to be really straining for Super Hero names. . .

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2016)

. . . since it has sunk as low as DEADPOOL. I guess that that's what happens when you're bored with the 18 billion names already given to Real Life People on our planet (including Rocky Rhodes and Chastity Bordello), and you concoct an infinity of Alternate Universes. Because the Artist Formerly Known as Prince already has exhausted Society's patience for Hieroglyphical Names, since numeric monikers become monotonous after about three digits (just try to imagine telling someone that two social security numbers kissed each other), and with names composed of random letters (such as a-s-d-f-g-h-j-k-l) largely viewed as being both crude and unwieldy, Marvel is forced to resort to the DEADPOOLS of this world. With Ryan Reynolds making a couple of post-credits appearances here to promise a DEADPOOL sequel including new Super Hero characters, I'm willing to contribute a few free suggestions to the obviously depleted Marvel Brain Trust. First off, "Braintruss" seems perfect (sort of like a jockstrap for your mind). As Marvel values testosterone so highly, why NOT add "Jockstrap" and "Testes" to its Pantheon, as well? They'd make a great team. Finally, I once ran across an "Alice" limerick that could provide Marvel with a real thumper--they only have to beat out D.C. Comics in the race to be the first to trademark "Phallus!"
