Why are they always doctors, professors or various military ranks? There's so many other titles for example my city of heroes/villains characters; Chairman Slammer and Duke Silence (a ninja covered with barbed wire)
Once; I shit you not. I spent a day at my high school (for a homecoming day gimmick) with a red cape, goggles, and a rubber bass. I walked around and told them I was Capt. South and that this? this was my Lofty Fish of Justice. (which had Justice written on the side in magic marker)
I was also in an over the top metal band (think a crappy version of GWAR) where my stage name was 'Baron Von Fetus'
