So, Homer and Bart Simpsons' real names are Radioactive Man and Radioactive Boy?

Which Oliver Queen ? The Adams/O'Neil version from the late sixties – who would get my vote – or the modern Tony-Stark/Bruce-Wayne-a-like who wouldn't.

With all the reboots that probably applies to a lot of characters – and actually sometimes the latest incarnation is the best. IMHOAATJ.

Britt Reed (Green Hornet)

By the way, Britt Reed was the Lone Ranger's grand nephew. His nephew was Dan Reed (whose hose WAS named Victor), and Dan was Britt Reed's grandfather.

The Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, and Sergeant Preston of the Yukon radio shows all originated from WXYZ in Detroit with the same production crew; hence, the relationship.

Bond, James Bond (007, though hardly "secret", since everyone seems to know who he is. Of course, if he wouldn't blab it every time he meets someone…)

Dredd doesn't have an alter ego…

Concur, many of the above really aren't alter egos. My fave character up there is Ororo Monroe/Storm, but those two names don't really reflect two personalities.

I would go with the quintessential alter ego … Dr. Henry Jekyl and Mr. Edward Hyde.

Dennis, from Worm. He was a teenager on the teenage superheroes team – well, the "keep the teenagers out of trouble and teach them to use their powers safely" team that just happened to fight crime quite often, because Brockton Bay? It's a Bleeped texthole. His power was freezing objects and people in time. Unfortunately for the Wards' PR people, during his first press conference he announced his cape name was…

Clockblocker.

After that, they made sure to include a PR-approved name in the pre-conference press releases.

Trying to track down the meme that a number of kings and emperors liked to hang out with the common folk in secret (Charlemagne, maybe?) the only guy I could come up with was (supposedly) Chris Columbus's dad--Henrique Alemao/Polish King Wladyslaw III, in exile. According to Manuel Rosa.

Everyone knows that you have to wear a mask to not be recognized!

Worst – Clark Kent "I'll put on glasses and no one will recognize me"

Actually, the Superman comics explained why that works. It is a fairly sound explanation compared to the sun in my native solar system is a different type so I can fly here.

I pick Bruce Wayne with Tony Sparks a close second. Just because they have more money than God.

Milhouse played Fallout Boy to Rainier Wolfcastle's Radioactive Man. Bart and Homer had nothing to do with it. (Episode 130).

This gets a little confusing. Homer Simpson is defiantly Radioactive man. Not sure if there was ever a Radioactive Boy. But there was a Fallout Boy at first played by a non-Simpsons Character but eventually Milhouse took over the part. Bart would become Bartman. So my apologies.

I thought Homer Simpson was PieMan. Now that was a vigilante you could rally behind!
