While any givenMarvelhero’s character design, superpowers, and storylines are incredibly important to establishing that hero as a fan-favorite, there’s also another factor that comes into play: the hero’s name. There’s a reason heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America have stood the test of time, while the likes of Major Maple Leaf and the Whizzer have all but been forgotten. Names are very important, but what’s arguably even more important are the origins of those names, and almost nothing beats one iconic Marvel movie hero, who was named after a kickass ‘90s song (and she’s not alone)....
