* [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]] and [[ComicBook/GhostRider Johnny Blaze]] both have fire powers. There was also Pyro, John Allerdyce.
** Johnny Storm isn't even the first Jonathan Storm in the Marvel Universe. That would be Professor John Storm, a scientist who first appeared in ''Mystic Comics'' #5 (1941). His sole contribution to the Marvel Universe was transforming Laslo Pevely, a man who had been injured in a car accident, into the Terror.
* And of course you've got two Hanks running around ([[ComicBook/AntMan Pym]] of ComicBook/TheAvengers and [[ComicBook/BeastMarvelComics McCoy]] of the ComicBook/XMen). And working together in the Secret Avengers, for more name-based confusions since they both fill the scientist role and the team is on a first name basis.
** Lampshaded at one point:
--->'''ComicBook/IronMan:''' Beast, Pym, catch the bomb!\\
'''Beast:''' Wait, he gets to be "Pym," I'm just "Beast"?\\
'''Iron Man:''' You're both named Hank! I have bigger problems!
* In a ''ComicBook/XMen''/''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' crossover, Nurse Chapel asks for "Dr [=McCoy=]?", and both reply with "Yes?" The Beast referred to this at least once (outside the crossover), saying that whenever addressed as "Dr. [=McCoy=], he felt the urge to say, "He's dead, Jim!"
* The X-Men have two Davids. One, David Alleyne (Prodigy), is depowered and rolling with the ComicBook/YoungAvengers, and the other is Xavier's son David Haller (ComicBook/{{Legion|Marvel Comics}}), who deliberately [[RetGone wiped himself from existence]], leaving an aspect of himself in Blindfold's mind.
* Not really noticed much, because they usually use other names/nicknames, but there are ''a lot'' of Jameses in the Marvel Universe. [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} James 'Logan/Wolverine' Howlett]], [[ComicBook/BuckyBarnes James 'Bucky' Buchanan Barnes]], [[ComicBook/XFactor James 'Jamie/Multiple Man' Maddrox]], [[ComicBook/XForce James 'Warpath' Proudstar]] and [[ComicBook/WarMachine James 'Rhodey/War Machine' Rhodes]]. And that's not counting really minor characters like James 'Jimmy/X-Ray' Darnell, James 'Mad Jim' Jaspers, and James Braddock from Captain Britain. People in Marvel '''really''' like the name James.
** And [[ComicBook/AlphaFlight James MacDonald "Vindicator/Guardian" Hudson]].
* They also DO have 3 Steves - Steve Rogers, Stephen Strange and William Burneside who legally changed his name to Steve Rogers. Fortunately, while ComicBook/CaptainAmerica is occasionally called Steve, it's very rare for anyone to refer to ComicBook/DoctorStrange by his first name. And when they do, it's always Stephen, not Steve, most people call William Burneside by his original name rather than the name he has changed it to.
* Incidentally, Marvel refuses to have two active super-heroes by the same name, in two separate collections but in the same universe. They can have, say, the Chameleon impersonating Spider-Man in his series, or a new Captain America while Steve Rogers cannot use the shield. However: When Jim Starlin wanted to resurrect Adam Warlock, the Warlock from the ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' had to go -- and was killed in his own series. Similarly, the return of "the man called Nova" (Richard Rider) meant that the ''girl'' called Nova (Frankie Raye, herald of Galactus) was to be killed. Silly, because like many above examples, not only were the two Warlocks not related in anyway, they both had enemies called The Magus, who also were not related in anyway other than name. Although the New Mutants Warlock was named so as a homage to Adam Warlock, hence why he also had a villain named the Magus. To further the point. Adam Warlock's Magus was a possible future incarnation of himself. New Mutants' Magus is the father of their Warlock and it's their custom for the child to kill the father and then become the new Magus.
** Please note that '''[[NonindicativeName none of these characters use any kind of magic!]]'''
* X-Man Robert "Bobby" Drake aka Iceman and New Mutant Roberto "Bobby" Da Costa aka Sunspot. There is also Barbara “Bobbi” Morse aka ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}}, though connected to the Avengers and not the X-Men.
* Young X-Man Hope Abbott aka Trance and Hope the Mutant Messiah raised in exile by Cable.
* Piotr Rasputin (who is often addressed as "Peter", "Pete" or "Petey") aka Colossus and Peter "Pete" Wisdom. This would not be particularly notable (the X-Books have LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, and Wisdom never uses his full name anyway) except a) they spent a fair amount of time in the same title and b) both of them have dated Kitty Pryde. During the time when they were both on ''Excalibur'', Colossus was generally addressed as "Piotr" or by his code-name. The two also share the name with the Marvel Universe's [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] and the Trapster, formerly known as Paste-Pot Pete.
** When Kitty Pryde started dating Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, one of the character commented that she only ever dated Peters.
* ComicBook/{{Magneto}} shares his first name, Erik, with the Comicbook/BlackPanther villain ComicBook/ErikKillmonger. Amusingly, Erik Lensherr is an alias, as Magneto's real name is Max Eisenhardt, while Killmonger's real name is N'Jadaka. There's also Erik Josten, [[IHaveManyNames A.K.A. Power Man, A.K.A. Goliath, A.K.A. Atlas]], minor X-Men villain Erik the Red, and CanonImmigrant Erik Selvig. Going with the "Eric" spelling, Marvel also has Eric Brooks[=/=]ComicBook/{{Blade}}, Eric O'Grady[=/=]ComicBook/AntMan, Eric Masterson[=/=]ComicBook/{{Thunderstrike}}, and Eric Williams/Grim Reaper.
* Early in ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', Peter Parker dated Betty Brant while his classmate Liz Allan made a play for him. Both girls were called pet forms of the name Elizabeth. Meanwhile in ''The Incredible Hulk'', Bruce Banner's love interest was Betty Ross; and Betty (or Betsy) Ross had also been the name of a Captain America supporting character in the Golden Age, who for a time became his sidekick, the first Golden Girl. Betty Brant worked as secretary to J. Jonah Jameson, a position where after her wedding to Ned Leeds she was replaced by the rather similar sounding Gloria Grant.
** There's something about "Mary" for Peter Parker: His late mother was called Mary Parker, while his Aunt May bears a name that can be a variation of "Mary". Peter went on to date and eventually marry Mary Jane Watson, the niece of Aunt May's best friend, Anna May Watson (and in the New Testament, Anna is the mother of Mary). It later was revealed that MJ's mother was called Madeline (a French variant of Mary Magdalene). And when Peter and Mary Jane had a [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl daughter]], they decided to call her May.
* Penance from ''ComicBook/GenerationX'' came back after Speedball had gone emocore and called himself Penance as well. Nowadays she's called Hollow.
* In ''[[ComicBook/XMen New X-Men: Academy X]]'', there are technically two Joshes in the New Mutants squad - Joshua Guthrie (Icarus) and Josh Foley (Elixir). However, earlier in ''Uncanny X-Men'', Josh Guthrie decided to go by "Jay" because he feels that after his girlfriend died his old name should be left in his past too.
* There is a "Laurie" and a "Laura" in ''New X-Men: Childhood's End'', but [[spoiler:one is dead and one ''can't'' die.]]
* ''ComicBook/XMen'' used an aversion of this as part of Jubilee's backstory -- her parents were murdered because her father happened to have the same name as another doctor who was involved with organised crime.
* Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler and Juggernaut's father Kurt Marko. Nathan Christopher Charles Summers aka ComicBook/{{Cable}}, named after his grandfathers Nathaniel Essex, Christopher Summers, and Charles Xavier.
* Victor Creed aka Sabretooth and Victor Borkowski aka Anole.
* Brian Braddock aka Captain Britain and Charles's father Brian Xavier.
* In ''ComicBook/XForce'', team director/owner Spike Freeman and team member the Spike shared a name. Lampshaded when Freeman says he really likes the Spike, and not ''just'' because of his name. This is pretty much the only time it comes up; the two share very little screen time and never even really talk to each other. Whereas the Spike was a big deal towards the end of the team's run as X-Force, Spike Freeman only became a major character after the Spike died and the book was relaunched as ''X-Statix''.
** The "no shared codenames" rule was abandoned altogether in the 2010s with the two ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}s. Kate Bishop took on the "Hawkeye" identity in ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' at a time when Clint Barton was believed to be dead (and very briefly actually was). However, after he made his resurrection public he gave her his blessing to continue using the identity with no "Young" or "Ms."/"Lady"/"Woman" modifier, and the two have teamed up regularly.
*** And this continued with Peter Parker and Miles Morales sharing the name Spider-Man, Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson sharing the name Captain America.
* The Marvel Universe also has two Gladiators - Kallark, the Majestor of the Shi'ar Empire, and the Daredevil villain Melvin Potter.
** Speaking of which, Sharon Ventura shares her first name with Sharon Carter, aka ComicBook/Agent13.
** Two people used the codename Grizzly; Theodore Winchester, an associate of ComicBook/{{Cable}} and Maxwell Markham, an enemy of Spider-Man. Markham himself shares first name with another Spider-Man rogue, Maxwell Dillon/Electro.
* The ComicBook/IronMan villains Crimson Dynamo (introduced 1963) and Whiplash (introduced 2009) are both named "Anton Vanko," but are otherwise unrelated.
** Tony Stark himself shares first name with Tony Masters/ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}} and Anthony Ludgate/Dr. Druid.
* Marvel also has Sam Wilson (ComicBook/TheFalcon), Sam Guthrie ([[Comicbook/NewMutants Cannonball]]), Sam Alexander (ComicBook/{{Nova}}) and Sam Chung (Blindspot). {{Lampshaded}} in a ''Nova'' issue where Captain America calls the Alexander household looking for Sam, and Nova assumes that he must have mistakenly called while looking for Sam ''Wilson''.
* In the series ''ComicBook/{{Alias}}'' (no relation to [[Series/{{Alias}} the TV series]]), the main character, Jessica Jones, had a run-in with another Jessica, Jessica Drew. Both Jessicas were former superheroes turned private investigators, and Creator/BrianMichaelBendis has stated that he created Jones as an {{Expy}} of Drew after he was [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute denied permission to use the latter]]. This is a plot point, because another character, Mattie Franklin (former superhero turned junkie) broke into Jones' office, thinking it belonged to Drew, whom she knew and was looking for.
** It also may be some LampshadeHanging, as Brian Michael Bendis had actually wanted to write the series about Jessica Drew, but Marvel didn't want to risk her on a MAX title. So instead, the somewhat similar Jessica Jones was created and retconned into the Marvel Universe.
* In Creator/MarvelComics, Cain Marko is the Juggernaut; William Baker, alias Flint Marko, is the Sandman; Michael Marko is "Man Mountain" Marko. This wouldn't be so unusual if the last name weren't so uncommon, really.
** Partially justified: Sandman changed his name to Flint Marko so no one would associate his life of crime with [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas his mother, to protect her reputation]].
* One of Creator/StanLee's earliest creations, for Timely Comics, was the Destroyer, a superhero who operated in Nazi Germany. Later, in the early days of Marvel, he and Creator/JackKirby reused that name for the one-off villain in the first [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Human Torch]] solo adventure in ''Strange Tales''. Then they reused it again for an enchanted suit of armor that [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] has to deal with.

And eventually, in ''ComicBook/TheInvadersMarvel'', the original heroic Destroyer was brought into Marvel canon as well and soon made into a LegacyCharacter.
* ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' has four Victors. Lampshaded when "[[ComicBook/DoctorDoom Victor Von Doom]]" (ActuallyADoombot, but it still counts) claims to be Victor Mancha's father, saying that "[Mancha's] mother was brave enough to anoint you with my name, but not to tell you of her dalliances as a young woman, in Latveria." The other two are evil MadScientist [[DrFakenstein Victor Stein]] and his son (who goes by Chase.)
* Sam Wilson, ComicBook/TheFalcon, and Jim Wilson from ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk''. Eventually revealed to be relatives, but that was a {{Revision}}.
** In ''[[ComicBook/BlackPanther Panther's Rage]]'', Erik Killmonger's superpowered henchmen included guys called [[MyNaymeIs Venomm and Karnaj]]. [[HilariousInHindsight Later]], Franchise/SpiderMan got two major villains called ComicBook/{{Venom}} and Comicbook/{{Carnage}}, also related to each other.
* Speaking of the name Elizabeth, besides Elizabeth 'Liz' Allan, Elizabeth 'Betty' Brant, Elizabeth 'Betsy' Ross/Golden Girl and Elizabeth [[ComicBook/BettyRoss 'Betty' Ross]], there's also Elizabeth 'Betsy' Braddock/ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}, Elizabeth Twoyoungmen from ComicBook/AlphaFlight and Elizabeth Guthrie.
* Jennifer Walters[=/=]ComicBook/SheHulk and Jennifer Takeda/Hazmat, as well as Jennifer Kale and Jennifer Stavros/Roulette.
* ''ComicBook/TheTombOfDracula'' and ''Midnight Sons'' type books(''Darkholders'', ''Night Stalkers'', ''[[ComicBook/GhostRider Spirits of Vengeance]]'', etc) tend to feature Lilith, The [[AntagonisticOffspring Daughter Of Dracula]] and Lilith, [[MonsterProgenitor Mother Of Demons]]. They both showed up at the same time in a ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'' book, although it was it was just as two of [[CListFodder many]] suffering TheWorfEffect.
* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Not Thor himself, but Mjolnir. ''Ultimates 3'' has him suddenly go from using the axe-hammer version to one more like regular Thor's Mjolnir. ''ComicBook/UltimateThor'' covered it by revealing they're separate hammers, which just have the same name.
* [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]] and [[ComicBook/GhostRider Johnny Blaze]] both have fire powers. There was also Pyro, John Allerdyce.
** Johnny Storm isn't even the first Jonathan Storm in the Marvel Universe. That would be Professor John Storm, a scientist who first appeared in ''Mystic Comics'' #5 (1941). His sole contribution to the Marvel Universe was transforming Laslo Pevely, a man who had been injured in a car accident, into the Terror.
* And of course you've got two Hanks running around ([[ComicBook/AntMan Pym]] of ComicBook/TheAvengers and [[ComicBook/BeastMarvelComics McCoy]] of the ComicBook/XMen). And working together in the Secret Avengers, for more name-based confusions since they both fill the scientist role and the team is on a first name basis.
** Lampshaded at one point:
--->'''ComicBook/IronMan:''' Beast, Pym, catch the bomb!\\
'''Beast:''' Wait, he gets to be "Pym," I'm just "Beast"?\\
'''Iron Man:''' You're both named Hank! I have bigger problems!
* In a ''ComicBook/XMen''/''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' crossover, Nurse Chapel asks for "Dr [=McCoy=]?", and both reply with "Yes?" The Beast referred to this at least once (outside the crossover), saying that whenever addressed as "Dr. [=McCoy=], he felt the urge to say, "He's dead, Jim!"
* The X-Men have two Davids. One, David Alleyne (Prodigy), is depowered and rolling with the ComicBook/YoungAvengers, and the other is Xavier's son David Haller (ComicBook/{{Legion|Marvel Comics}}), who deliberately [[RetGone wiped himself from existence]], leaving an aspect of himself in Blindfold's mind.
* Not really noticed much, because they usually use other names/nicknames, but there are ''a lot'' of Jameses in the Marvel Universe. [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} James 'Logan/Wolverine' Howlett]], [[ComicBook/BuckyBarnes James 'Bucky' Buchanan Barnes]], [[ComicBook/XFactor James 'Jamie/Multiple Man' Maddrox]], [[ComicBook/XForce James 'Warpath' Proudstar]] and [[ComicBook/WarMachine James 'Rhodey/War Machine' Rhodes]]. And that's not counting really minor characters like James 'Jimmy/X-Ray' Darnell, James 'Mad Jim' Jaspers, and James Braddock from Captain Britain. People in Marvel '''really''' like the name James.
** And [[ComicBook/AlphaFlight James MacDonald "Vindicator/Guardian" Hudson]].
* They also DO have 3 Steves - Steve Rogers, Stephen Strange and William Burneside who legally changed his name to Steve Rogers. Fortunately, while ComicBook/CaptainAmerica is occasionally called Steve, it's very rare for anyone to refer to ComicBook/DoctorStrange by his first name. And when they do, it's always Stephen, not Steve, most people call William Burneside by his original name rather than the name he has changed it to.
* Incidentally, Marvel refuses to have two active super-heroes by the same name, in two separate collections but in the same universe. They can have, say, the Chameleon impersonating Spider-Man in his series, or a new Captain America while Steve Rogers cannot use the shield. However: When Jim Starlin wanted to resurrect Adam Warlock, the Warlock from the ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' had to go -- and was killed in his own series. Similarly, the return of "the man called Nova" (Richard Rider) meant that the ''girl'' called Nova (Frankie Raye, herald of Galactus) was to be killed. Silly, because like many above examples, not only were the two Warlocks not related in anyway, they both had enemies called The Magus, who also were not related in anyway other than name. Although the New Mutants Warlock was named so as a homage to Adam Warlock, hence why he also had a villain named the Magus. To further the point. Adam Warlock's Magus was a possible future incarnation of himself. New Mutants' Magus is the father of their Warlock and it's their custom for the child to kill the father and then become the new Magus.
** Please note that '''[[NonindicativeName none of these characters use any kind of magic!]]'''
* X-Man Robert "Bobby" Drake aka Iceman and New Mutant Roberto "Bobby" Da Costa aka Sunspot. There is also Barbara “Bobbi” Morse aka ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}}, though connected to the Avengers and not the X-Men.
* Young X-Man Hope Abbott aka Trance and Hope the Mutant Messiah raised in exile by Cable.
* Piotr Rasputin (who is often addressed as "Peter", "Pete" or "Petey") aka Colossus and Peter "Pete" Wisdom. This would not be particularly notable (the X-Books have LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, and Wisdom never uses his full name anyway) except a) they spent a fair amount of time in the same title and b) both of them have dated Kitty Pryde. During the time when they were both on ''Excalibur'', Colossus was generally addressed as "Piotr" or by his code-name. The two also share the name with the Marvel Universe's [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] and the Trapster, formerly known as Paste-Pot Pete.
** When Kitty Pryde started dating Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, one of the character commented that she only ever dated Peters.
* ComicBook/{{Magneto}} shares his first name, Erik, with the Comicbook/BlackPanther villain ComicBook/ErikKillmonger. Amusingly, Erik Lensherr is an alias, as Magneto's real name is Max Eisenhardt, while Killmonger's real name is N'Jadaka. There's also Erik Josten, [[IHaveManyNames A.K.A. Power Man, A.K.A. Goliath, A.K.A. Atlas]], minor X-Men villain Erik the Red, and CanonImmigrant Erik Selvig. Going with the "Eric" spelling, Marvel also has Eric Brooks[=/=]ComicBook/{{Blade}}, Eric O'Grady[=/=]ComicBook/AntMan, Eric Masterson[=/=]ComicBook/{{Thunderstrike}}, and Eric Williams/Grim Reaper.
* Early in ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', Peter Parker dated Betty Brant while his classmate Liz Allan made a play for him. Both girls were called pet forms of the name Elizabeth. Meanwhile in ''The Incredible Hulk'', Bruce Banner's love interest was Betty Ross; and Betty (or Betsy) Ross had also been the name of a Captain America supporting character in the Golden Age, who for a time became his sidekick, the first Golden Girl. Betty Brant worked as secretary to J. Jonah Jameson, a position where after her wedding to Ned Leeds she was replaced by the rather similar sounding Gloria Grant.
** There's something about "Mary" for Peter Parker: His late mother was called Mary Parker, while his Aunt May bears a name that can be a variation of "Mary". Peter went on to date and eventually marry Mary Jane Watson, the niece of Aunt May's best friend, Anna May Watson (and in the New Testament, Anna is the mother of Mary). It later was revealed that MJ's mother was called Madeline (a French variant of Mary Magdalene). And when Peter and Mary Jane had a [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl daughter]], they decided to call her May.
* Penance from ''ComicBook/GenerationX'' came back after Speedball had gone emocore and called himself Penance as well. Nowadays she's called Hollow.
* In ''[[ComicBook/XMen New X-Men: Academy X]]'', there are technically two Joshes in the New Mutants squad - Joshua Guthrie (Icarus) and Josh Foley (Elixir). However, earlier in ''Uncanny X-Men'', Josh Guthrie decided to go by "Jay" because he feels that after his girlfriend died his old name should be left in his past too.
* There is a "Laurie" and a "Laura" in ''New X-Men: Childhood's End'', but [[spoiler:one is dead and one ''can't'' die.]]
* ''ComicBook/XMen'' used an aversion of this as part of Jubilee's backstory -- her parents were murdered because her father happened to have the same name as another doctor who was involved with organised crime.
* Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler and Juggernaut's father Kurt Marko. Nathan Christopher Charles Summers aka ComicBook/{{Cable}}, named after his grandfathers Nathaniel Essex, Christopher Summers, and Charles Xavier.
* Victor Creed aka Sabretooth and Victor Borkowski aka Anole.
* Brian Braddock aka Captain Britain and Charles's father Brian Xavier.
* In ''ComicBook/XForce'', team director/owner Spike Freeman and team member the Spike shared a name. Lampshaded when Freeman says he really likes the Spike, and not ''just'' because of his name. This is pretty much the only time it comes up; the two share very little screen time and never even really talk to each other. Whereas the Spike was a big deal towards the end of the team's run as X-Force, Spike Freeman only became a major character after the Spike died and the book was relaunched as ''X-Statix''.
** The "no shared codenames" rule was abandoned altogether in the 2010s with the two ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}s. Kate Bishop took on the "Hawkeye" identity in ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' at a time when Clint Barton was believed to be dead (and very briefly actually was). However, after he made his resurrection public he gave her his blessing to continue using the identity with no "Young" or "Ms."/"Lady"/"Woman" modifier, and the two have teamed up regularly.
*** And this continued with Peter Parker and Miles Morales sharing the name Spider-Man, Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson sharing the name Captain America.
* The Marvel Universe also has two Gladiators - Kallark, the Majestor of the Shi'ar Empire, and the Daredevil villain Melvin Potter.
** Speaking of which, Sharon Ventura shares her first name with Sharon Carter, aka ComicBook/Agent13.
** Two people used the codename Grizzly; Theodore Winchester, an associate of ComicBook/{{Cable}} and Maxwell Markham, an enemy of Spider-Man. Markham himself shares first name with another Spider-Man rogue, Maxwell Dillon/Electro.
* The ComicBook/IronMan villains Crimson Dynamo (introduced 1963) and Whiplash (introduced 2009) are both named "Anton Vanko," but are otherwise unrelated.
** Tony Stark himself shares first name with Tony Masters/ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}} and Anthony Ludgate/Dr. Druid.
* Marvel also has Sam Wilson (ComicBook/TheFalcon), Sam Guthrie ([[Comicbook/NewMutants Cannonball]]), Sam Alexander (ComicBook/{{Nova}}) and Sam Chung (Blindspot). {{Lampshaded}} in a ''Nova'' issue where Captain America calls the Alexander household looking for Sam, and Nova assumes that he must have mistakenly called while looking for Sam ''Wilson''.
* In the series ''ComicBook/{{Alias}}'' (no relation to [[Series/{{Alias}} the TV series]]), the main character, Jessica Jones, had a run-in with another Jessica, Jessica Drew. Both Jessicas were former superheroes turned private investigators, and Creator/BrianMichaelBendis has stated that he created Jones as an {{Expy}} of Drew after he was [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute denied permission to use the latter]]. This is a plot point, because another character, Mattie Franklin (former superhero turned junkie) broke into Jones' office, thinking it belonged to Drew, whom she knew and was looking for.
** It also may be some LampshadeHanging, as Brian Michael Bendis had actually wanted to write the series about Jessica Drew, but Marvel didn't want to risk her on a MAX title. So instead, the somewhat similar Jessica Jones was created and retconned into the Marvel Universe.
* In Creator/MarvelComics, Cain Marko is the Juggernaut; William Baker, alias Flint Marko, is the Sandman; Michael Marko is "Man Mountain" Marko. This wouldn't be so unusual if the last name weren't so uncommon, really.
** Partially justified: Sandman changed his name to Flint Marko so no one would associate his life of crime with [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas his mother, to protect her reputation]].
* One of Creator/StanLee's earliest creations, for Timely Comics, was the Destroyer, a superhero who operated in Nazi Germany. Later, in the early days of Marvel, he and Creator/JackKirby reused that name for the one-off villain in the first [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Human Torch]] solo adventure in ''Strange Tales''. Then they reused it again for an enchanted suit of armor that [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] has to deal with. Jim Starlin muddied the waters further in the early 70s by basing the original look of [[ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Drax the Destroyer]] on the Timely character. And eventually, in ''ComicBook/TheInvadersMarvel'', the original heroic Destroyer was brought into Marvel canon as well and soon made into a LegacyCharacter.
* ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' has four Victors. Lampshaded when "[[ComicBook/DoctorDoom Victor Von Doom]]" (ActuallyADoombot, but it still counts) claims to be Victor Mancha's father, saying that "[Mancha's] mother was brave enough to anoint you with my name, but not to tell you of her dalliances as a young woman, in Latveria." The other two are evil MadScientist [[DrFakenstein Victor Stein]] and his son (who goes by Chase.)
* Sam Wilson, ComicBook/TheFalcon, and Jim Wilson from ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk''. Eventually revealed to be relatives, but that was a {{Revision}}.
** In ''[[ComicBook/BlackPanther Panther's Rage]]'', Erik Killmonger's superpowered henchmen included guys called [[MyNaymeIs Venomm and Karnaj]]. [[HilariousInHindsight Later]], Franchise/SpiderMan got two major villains called ComicBook/{{Venom}} and Comicbook/{{Carnage}}, also related to each other.
* Speaking of the name Elizabeth, besides Elizabeth 'Liz' Allan, Elizabeth 'Betty' Brant, Elizabeth 'Betsy' Ross/Golden Girl and Elizabeth [[ComicBook/BettyRoss 'Betty' Ross]], there's also Elizabeth 'Betsy' Braddock/ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}, Elizabeth Twoyoungmen from ComicBook/AlphaFlight and Elizabeth Guthrie.
* Jennifer Walters[=/=]ComicBook/SheHulk and Jennifer Takeda/Hazmat, as well as Jennifer Kale and Jennifer Stavros/Roulette.
* ''ComicBook/TheTombOfDracula'' and ''Midnight Sons'' type books(''Darkholders'', ''Night Stalkers'', ''[[ComicBook/GhostRider Spirits of Vengeance]]'', etc) tend to feature Lilith, The [[AntagonisticOffspring Daughter Of Dracula]] and Lilith, [[MonsterProgenitor Mother Of Demons]]. They both showed up at the same time in a ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'' book, although it was it was just as two of [[CListFodder many]] suffering TheWorfEffect.
* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Not Thor himself, but Mjolnir. ''Ultimates 3'' has him suddenly go from using the axe-hammer version to one more like regular Thor's Mjolnir. ''ComicBook/UltimateThor'' covered it by revealing they're separate hammers, which just have the same name.
