* Paperinik (DonaldDuck's superhero/antihero alter ego) is also knows as the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Devilish Avenger]] (from which the English name Duck Avenger). Notable because he came up with it himself, and it caught on after he used it in public off-screen.

* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', [[TheParagon All Might]] is known as the Symbol of Peace. Several heroes have additional titles, even class 1A dips into it. Some examples include Miss Joke, the Smile Hero, and the "18+ Only Hero", Midnight. Apparently these titles are retained even when they're clearly no longer accurate, since [[TheMedic Recovery Girl]] is still known as the "Youthful Heroine" despite being [[MiniatureSeniorCitizens visibly quite elderly]].
