Namor: Namor the Sub-Mariner ( ) (Namor McKenzie) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.  Debuting in early 1939, the character was created by writer-artist Bill Everett for Funnies Inc., one of the first "packagers" in the early days of comic books that supplied comics on demand to publishers looking to enter the new medium.  Initially created for the unreleased comic "Motion Picture Funnies Weekly", the Sub-Mariner first appeared publicly in "Marvel Comics" #1 (cover-dated Oct. 1939) – the first comic book from Timely Comics, the 1930s–1940s predecessor of the company Marvel Comics.  During that period, known to historians and fans as the Golden Age of Comic Books, the Sub-Mariner was one of Timely's top three characters, along with Captain America and the original Human Torch.  Everett said the character's name was inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".  Everett came up with "Namor" by writing down noble sounding names backwards and thought Roman/Namor looked the best.

Auguste Lupa: Auguste Lupa is a fictional character in two pastiche novels by author John Lescroart.  The novels are "Son of Holmes" (1986) and "Rasputin's Revenge" (1987).  Lupa, a secret agent during the First World War, is the son of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler.  It is strongly implied that he is the younger version of fictional detective Nero Wolfe in the mystery series by Rex Stout.  Auguste Lupa is one of many aliases used by the character.  Jules Giraud, the narrator of the books, explains that Lupa always chooses as his alias a first name with a connection to one of the Caesars.  Auguste is the name of a Roman emperor and Lupa means "wolf."  Other aliases he has used include Julius Adler and Cesar Mycroft.  The latter surname indicates a connection to Mycroft Holmes, the brother of Sherlock Holmes.  In "Rasputin's Revenge" it is revealed that his real name is John Hamish Adler Holmes, combining the names of Dr. John Hamish Watson, the best friend of Sherlock Holmes, and Irene Adler's surname with the surname Holmes.

Superman (Earth-Two): Superman of Earth-Two is an alternate version of the fictional superhero Superman, who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics.  The character was introduced after DC Comics created Earth-Two, a parallel world that was retroactively established as the home of characters whose adventures had been published in the Golden Age of comic books.  This allowed creators to publish Superman comic books taking place in current continuity while being able to disregard Golden Age stories, solving an incongruity, as Superman had been published as a single ongoing incarnation since inception.  The character first appeared in "Justice League of America" vol.  1 #73 (August 1969).
