"Heat Man" What is this Mega Man? However my favorite is that Lightfoot could've had a name as awesome as "Chain-Fire" makes those rude Gordon Lightfoot cracks a lot worse in retrospect. Also Hardball could've had the most pornoriffic name ever with "High Pop"

Those Night Creeper ones are embarassing, and why did he try to give Zanzibar the name Keel Haul, It's not like Admiral Keel Haul wasn't released or anything! From now on Voltar should be referred too as "MADAGASCAR"

  1. "Armor-Harmer" is the best unused name ever. "Digger/Jackaroo/Dingo" or maybe "Fosters, Sidney Opera House, Botany Bay"...we have to know he's Australian!
