Characters THE DESTROYER, otherwise known... as eric.

Basically, really intimidating nicknames used instead of birthnames, the likes of which aren't intimidating at all.

Title taken from this video (timestamped).

  • LORD VOLDEMORT (Harry Potter): otherwise known as Tom.
  • MISTER INCREDIBLE (The Incredibles): otherwise known as Bob. My man was genuinely named Robert Regular lmao
  • THE SON OF GOD (New Testament): otherwise known as Yeshua, an extremely common name back then.
