My high school had a teacher named Mr. Senior.

Later his son joined the school, as Mr. Senior Jr.

Not quite a supervillain name but is still makes me smile.

Was the son’s name Scooty Puff?

Because that was an open goal right there.

It's not quite from our time, but there is a German poet we learned about in school who is an import person of "Empfindsamkeit" meaning getting really into contact with your emotional side and his name is "Kloppstock" which in German sounds like a heavy stick used for disciplinary matters. And I don't mean the kind of light slap on the wrist but more "you won't be able to sit for a week at least".

Well yeah, that would definitely be a feeling you could get in touch with!

Though you would probably prefer not to.

My mum used to have a patient called Donald Duckery. Called his son Donald Duckery Jr.

A great example of passing on generational trauma.

Imagine if he had a speech impediment!

Not really a hero or villain, but I knew a fellow Marine named Kilgore and thought his name was pretty much perfect for the service.

Does he love the smell of napalm in the morning?

I'm fairly sure he featured in a Marvel film. Those are documentaries, right?
