This is a sister-trope to RedBaron. While RedBaron is about when a person is so badass, they receive a badass nickname, this is not about in-story nicknames, but rather various names superheroes are given by writers. They don't have to be badass and, in fact, many of the nicknames aren't that badass at all, but rather just descriptive (because many, of course, derive from the SilverAge). Often used in narrative boxes.

* ComicBook/{{Batman}}: The Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, the World's Greatest Detective, the Dark Knight Detective. Also called the Gotham Goliath in some late GoldenAge and early SilverAge stories.

* ComicBook/{{Superman}}: The Man of Steel, the Man of Tomorrow, the Last Son of Krypton, the Metropolis Kid, the Big Blue Boy Scout. Other nicknames seen in the SilverAge and BronzeAge were the Metropolis Marvel and the Action Ace.
