Named After Somebody Famous: Difference between revisions

* Stephen Stills of ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]'' is named after the [[wikipedia:Stephen Stills|folk singer]] of the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. There's also a character named "Young Neil", an obvious reversal on Neil Young's name.

* [[Alan Moore]]'s ''[[Promethea]]'' features a female cop named [[Lucille Ball]] in the supporting cast. She frequently has to say, "No relation" and remind people that she has [[No Sense of Humor]].

* James Jesse, the first [[The Flash|Trickster]], invoked [[Steven Ulysses Perhero]] when he decided to commit robberies like his "reverse namesake" Jesse James. In-universe, this was definitely not intentional on his parents' part; a later retcon had it that his father was an Italian immigrant who'd Anglicized their names while unaware of the potential implications.
