  1. most liekly , storm is storm, wolverine is wolverine.


  2. Yes it is most likely that way. Please rate best answer and ill do the same 4 u =D

  3. it's not always like that. some people have power types that keep them from being able to come up with cool sounding power-scpeific names. For example: Superman. He chose not to call himself superstrongflyinglaservisionfreezebreath... The are other characters such as Marvel Girl, Wonder Man, Rogue, Prodigy, Shadowcat, Mr. Fantastic, Bishop, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Guardian, Sentry, Vindicator, Paladin, Daredevil, Thunderbird, Gambit, Power Man, and many others who just couldn't have names that want specifically with their powers.

  4. no, not always but, they usually do :) and if their name doesn't pertain to their abilities it almost always has something to do with their appearance

  5. Hardly, although some have been. Consider names like Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Captain Triumph, Mister Justice, Captain Freedom, the Patriot, Amazing Man, The Clock, and even Superman. If you weren't familiar with the characters, I doubt you could guess what specific abilities they have (for the record,  Captain Freedom, the Patriot, and the Clock,  don't have any "powers" and nearly as many "superheroes" are more-or-less ordinary men who have no "super" abilities as "superheroes" who have one or more inhuman ability). Granted, some "superheroes" do name themselves after their powers, like Lightning, the Flame, Doctor Frost, Hydroman, and Lightning Lad, but even some heroes whose nom du costumes do stem from their "super" abilities aren't precisely descriptive; would you know the exact abilities of The Iron Skull, Green Lantern, Quicksilver, The Flint Man, Dynamo, the Spirit, and so on if you had never seen or heard of them? I rather doubt it. Most "superheroes" do use names that are evocative of power but that doesn't mean they have any besides the ability to roll with the punches and throw a good left hook.

  6. no atleast i dont think so  

  7. No, not BATMAN. Most superheroes' powers are thought of before there origin or motives. But rare cases like Spawn and BATMAN are exceptions

  8. Yes usually they do and only suck up wanna be's use bribes! Or people who give such bad answers that nobody picks him!!!!! Here like take Iron Man for instant he's called that because on his suit looks like it's made out of iron. And Cyclopes from X-Men, they call him that because of him glasses because it's like he has one eye because of his glasses (i can't explain it that well. Sorry.) And Storm they call her that because she can control the weather. Whether you are talking about DC or Marvel it usually is named after their power. Even Batman because he decides to make himself like bats.

    Hope you got what you needed!!!!
