For those of you who have read much Superman, you will be aware of the L pattern; Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Lucy Lane, Linda Lee, Lana Lang, it just goes on and on. So this is obviously a running joke in between the writers. But this pattern of alliterating names goes throughout both the DC and Marvel universes.

Wade Winston Wilson - Deadpool
Scott Summers - Cyclops
Wally West - The Flash
Susan Storm - The Invisible Woman
Reed Richards - Mr. Fantastic
Matt Murdock - Daredevil
Pepper Potts - Iron Mans love interest
Bruce Banner - The Hulk
Peter Parker - Spiderman

Im sure theres more, but at a first glance, arent there alot of them? Its seems that having a non-alliterating name like Hal Jordan or James Howlett is more of an achievement! 

I think that Stan Lee mentioned that it was so he could remember his creations, but that sounds like a bit of a cop out to me. I reckon the writers just thought it would be funny, either that or an in-joke were not in on.

What do you guys think?
