List some cool Joes and Cobras (or uncool Joes and Cobras, for that matter) who are saddled with lame names.
I've always thought Croc Master looked cooler than he had any right to look, but that name is too corny for a He-Man character, let alone Cobra's head of security. (I guess he'd be Gat-Or if he was one of the Masters of the Universe). I also still feel that "Enemy Leader" and "Cobra Commander" both lack that certain flavor one expects from a flamboyant terrorist leader. "Chuckles" isn't particularly intimidating, though it somehow matches his Hawaiian-print shirt. "Big Boa" sounds like a clumsy sexual euphemism. On the other hand, "Roadblock" is a great name and a fitting one for the character, and whenever I stop and really think about it, "Storm Shadow" is still a shockingly poetic name for a children's comic book villain. But cool names'll have to be the subject of another thread. Hit me with some lame names! |

There's some that are the other way around.
Cool name but crappy figure. Rapid-Fire Grid-Iron

What is wrong with Skidmark? Yeah, there's the juvenile association with streaking underpants, but a skidmark is a term connected with driving.
Did you ever leave a skidmark with your car or bike when younger?

I think Firefly is a strange name for someone so badass.
I also think Big Ben could have a better name. Or they coud have done more to make him a legitimately really big guy. Like almost Roadblock-sized. Lady Jaye and Crazylegs have silly names. And Scarlet and Cover Girl too, come on Hasbro. And what's the deal with the Cobra Mortal? |

Ice Cream Soldier is by far the worse. Hasbro had completely given up on the ARAH line at the point and it was totally apparent with that character.
