SOME of the names MIGHT be a little goofy (Absorbing Man) but for the most part, it would not at ALL be difficult to throw out a character's name and get it to be palpable.
Fin Fang Foom is his NAME, it's not even like he has an alter-ego or anything, he's an alien for crying out loud.
It just bothers me that some of these characters have absolutely badass or awesome names and instead they get referred to as "jimmy" or whatever because that's their alter-ego name.
Obviously, for some characters, it's ok. Like The Lizard. I'm fully expecting him to be referred to as both The Lizard and Dr. Connors, because that's sort of part of his character...but c'mon, NOBODY is bothered by Ice Man routinely being called Bobby, Pyro being referred to as John, Nightcrawler never being called anything but Kurt, Whiplash never being named...I mean...COME ON these are (except for Whiplash) iconic characters with (including Whiplash) awesome names and they never get called by their names.
