I only realized it last year or the year before and only because there's an issue of something where a character calls it out. I'm glad I'm not alone in missing the most absolutely loving obvious thing.

Listen, when I first read Ranma 1/2, I thought "Akane" was pronounced "A-Kane" for literally years until I saw a bootleg of the show. What I'm saying is that you should never underestimate a person's ability to be wrong about something very obvious for a very long time.

I think the worst or at least most pointless secret identity is Prince Adam, because a) Prince Adam and He-Man look identical anyway; b) there's no need to protect his loved ones because Skeletor wants to kill them all too; and c) why does he need to have a secret identity when Skeletor wants to kill Prince Adam anyway? Other bad secret identity names include Werewolf-by-Night, whose real name is Jack Russell.

Jack Russell is actually an amazing secret identity name.

Yeah, the only “irreparable damage” was the whiplash of undoing his run as fast as humanly possible.

I'm actually a little surprised nobody's done a reveal where Juggernaut and Sandman are revealed to be brothers based entirely on them having the same last names.

Sandman wasn't born a Marko, he took it as a pseudonym. He was born William Baker, but when he met his biological father in prison, he gave him a fake name as a disguise. Though I do like the idea of Spiderman or some X-Person overhearing mention of an incident involving a Marko, assuming it's the wrong one, showing up to fight him and being in for a surprise, I wonder if that's be done before.

Spider-Man has stopped the Juggernaut, but unless Iceman or one of the more powerful telekinetics (IE, someone with the last name Grey) are there, I could see the X-Men having some problems with Sandman.

I got the Cain part when I was like 11 years old but just got the Mark of part . . . three minutes ago. I haven't thought of Sandman in a long time, he used to be one of my favorite characters.
