Know what though? DC's naming game is sometimes pretty fucking lame and weak. "Starro?"

Starro first debuted in 1960. It was probably edgy back then. Now it'd be named McKenzie or something.
To be fair to DC, both DC and Marvel have long lists of absolutely terrible and/or cheesy names. For fuck's sake both have several characters named Captain Marvel or some variant of it.

And I thought he "Shazam" movie was really bad and cheesy, too. Like something you'd see made to air on Nickeloden. Like the Shakboy and Lavagirl sequel had money left over, so they made Shazam over a long weekend.

Marvel: "Here's how you do it correctly, step by step."
DC: "Nah fuck that."

DC didn't have the bravery to put a creative person in charge of creative decisions, and instead let the accountants do it.

Ok, so in Peacemaker his Bald Eagle sidekick is named "Eagle-y." eeg-lee. So these names are retarded on purpose.... ok. Slightly less lame.
