I love how in "Buck Rogers", they named the half-bird, half-man character "Hawk". I mean, how long did it take the writers to decide that?

@LiberalLibrarian Depends on if he was a character from the serials in the 1930's. They were not too concerned with sounding erudite for those shorts, they wanted easy to remember character names.

@sentientdessert Oh, good point. I never watched the serials, only the 1970s show, so not sure.

@sentientdessert A cursory investigation shows that Hawk wasn't a character in the serials.

@LiberalLibrarian Yeah, not seeing mention of him. Interesting how things grow and change...

@LiberalLibrarian

They really missed an opportunity by not naming him Captain Flappy or Featherman ;)

@LiberalLibrarian

Talk to Stan Lee. Most boring super hero names.

Guy with super powers? Superman

Guy who dresses up at a bat? Batman

Fast guy? Flash

Guy who can be as small as an ant? Antman
