Another online list of Avengers name for anyone to comment on: https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-every-avenger-of-all-time/super-hero-teams Captain America a.k.a. Nomad, The Captain Steven Rogers -wasn't it confirmed by Stern/Byrne that it was officially just "STEVE"? Black Widow (Claire Voyant) Natalia Alianovna Romanova (a.k.a. Natasha Romanoff) -wow, that's just embarrassing. She never used the Golden Age name even as an alias, afaik. Mantis Mandy Celestine (alias) -"CELESTINE"? Never happened, right? Ya'd think since we learned Duquesne's name that we'd have learned her full family name by now. Sheesh. Moondragon Heather Douglas (a.k.a. H.D. Steckley) -remind me what issue she went by "STECKLEY"? Sersi Circe (a.k.a. Sylvia Sersi) -remind me what issue she went by "SYLVIA"? Captain Britain a.k.a. Lionheart Kelsey Leigh Shorr -wow, that's just embarrassing too. Her file photo is of Brian. Other wrong photo matches are bad too but this is wrong gender! Ares Ares (a.k.a. John Aaron) -remind me what issue she went by "JOHN AARON"? Magdalene Marissa Darrow -is Magdalene her realname or codename? Deathcry unrevealed -bring back Sharra Neramani! It'd be so easy after Chaos War aftermath. Ravonna a.k.a. Ravonna Lexus Renslayer -remind me what issue she went by "LEXUS"? Here's a 'fun' alphabetical infographic list by somebody online that might get your nitpicking juices flowing: https://i0.wp.com/img14.deviantart.net/4877/i/2015/113/7/4/the_avengers_hand_drawn_characters_by_moviemaniacuk-d5rk680.jpg http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/015/2/0/the_avengers_hand_drawn_characters_by_moviemaniacuk-d5rk680.jpg ![]() I miss Dad & Dan.

Steve's middle name isn't Grant. He doesn't have a middle name. 2. Steve doesn't have an older brother named Mike that died at Pearl Harbor (supposedly Cap took the Super Soldier Serum BEFORE America entered WW2) 3. Steve's father wasn't a diplomat and his parents weren't named Walter and Elizabeth. 4. Cap didn't grow up in Maryland. I don't think whether Steve was short for Steven came up. The broad details the government came up for Cap's backstory was based on the family of a man named Walter Rogers from the State Department. He lost his sons Mike and Grant a few weeks earlier at Pearl Harbor. Steve meets Walter before he gets the false memories. ![]()

Quote: Another online list of Avengers name for anyone to comment on:https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-every-avenger-of-all-time/super-hero-teams Just going to say I would never trust ranker.com information of anything except the voting they collect. Of course, they run the votes though some arcane algorithm so... Quote: Captain America a.k.a. Nomad, The CaptainSteven Rogers Quote: -wasn't it confirmed by Stern/Byrne that it was officially just "STEVE"?Yeah. What Rev said. Quote: Black Widow (Claire Voyant)Natalia Alianovna Romanova (a.k.a. Natasha Romanoff) Quote: -wow, that's just embarrassing. She never used the Golden Age name even as an alias, afaik.Yes, never Claire Voyant. Totally different character. Quote: MantisMandy Celestine (alias) Quote: -"CELESTINE"? Never happened, right? Ya'd think since we learned Duquesne's name that we'd have learned her full family name by now. Sheesh.Does it ever really matter to anything? The character as she exists now may as well not have any human past whatsoever. And maybe she could change her name to This One. Quote: MoondragonHeather Douglas (a.k.a. H.D. Steckley) Quote: -remind me what issue she went by "STECKLEY"?Early Quasar. Sorry can't be more precise. Quote: SersiCirce (a.k.a. Sylvia Sersi) Quote: -remind me what issue she went by "SYLVIA"?Mid-80s (circa Avengers #250), the name that the public knew her as was Sylvia Sersi. Quote: Captain Britain a.k.a. LionheartKelsey Leigh Shorr Quote: -wow, that's just embarrassing too. Her file photo is of Brian. Other wrong photo matches are bad too but this is wrong gender!Yeah. Ranker does this sort of thing a lot. For some movies, they will rank a remake, but list the actors from the original (or vice versa). Quote: AresAres (a.k.a. John Aaron) Quote: -remind me what issue she went by "JOHN AARON"?It's the alias he used when he was raising Alexander. The Ares mini and for a good piece of his Avengers career. Quote: MagdaleneMarissa Darrow Quote: -is Magdalene her realname or codename?The $64k question. Popular theory is that she is the alt-universe Marissa Darrow. Quote: Deathcryunrevealed Quote: -bring back Sharra Neramani! It'd be so easy after Chaos War aftermath.Meh. No birds, kthx. City of Heroes is BACK!

Mantis Mandy Celestine (alias) Hmm...well, her father's last name was Brandt. Maybe he named 'Mantis' after her mother/his wife in honor of her memory. Lau was her mother's name. Lau Brandt? At some point she was renamed by the Priests of Pama though.

Lau Brandt? At some point she was renamed by the Priests of Pama though. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis_(Marvel_Comics) Mandy Celestine was the name Mantis took when she lived in Willimantic, CT, for a year after giving birth to Sequoia (aka Quoi). I would guess the name "Mandy" puns on "Mantis" while "Celestine" alludes to her status as the Celestial Madonna

Lau Brandt? At some point she was renamed by the Priests of Pama though. Marvel's official site says Lua's maiden name is Nguyen (probably a detail invented in a handbook entry). I wonder if that means Mantis's maternal uncle (the one who pimped her out) is named Kruuhl Nguyen or he's just her mother's half brother and Kruuhl's a last name. He went by Monsieur Kruuhl so Kruuhl's probably a last name right? http://marvel.com/universe/Mantis ![]()
