Can't think of any for those, but Superman and Batman bring Trinity to mind, which had some great nicknames.
Ra's A'Ghul was using Bizarro as a weapon, and there were some moments where Biz was narrating in first-person, and he refers to Ra's as "Racer Cool", which is just about the best name ever.

There were also the early Teen Titans nicknames--Flasher, Robin-O, Wonder Chick... I forget what they called Speedy and Aqualad.

Ben Grimm sometimes refers to himself as "the blue-eyed idol of millions."
Ben often called Reed "Stretch" or "Stretcho.""Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

Church: So it is a sword, It just happens to function like a key in very specific situations.
Caboose: Or it's a key all the time, and when you stick it in people, it unlocks their death.

I at least remember a comic bearing that title starring Caps. Garney and Waid might have been the creators on that title. Originally Posted by SKETCHSANCHEZ

They were - for the first storyarc at least. Garney left after #3 and Waid stuck around for the rest of the pretty lackluster run. Originally Posted by Sleeper
