* On ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', Franchise/WonderWoman is never "officially" given the name Wonder Woman. She is addressed as such on only extremely rare occasions and only by people who are not very close with her (e.g., a bouncer at a nightclub, the obnoxious host of a talk show actively slandering the League, and ComicBook/LexLuthor in the midst of battle); in every other situation she is simply "Diana". J'onn J'onzz is addressed as the ComicBook/MartianManhunter only once in the entire series, in the briefing for [[ComicBook/SuicideSquad Task Force X]] in the second season of ''Unlimited''. These two characters do not have a SecretIdentity or any life outside heroics, so they have no need for code names or hiding.
