  • 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.

"What's your name?"

"Snake."

"No, not that name. You're not a snake, and I'm not an ocelot. We're men, with names. My name is Adamska. What's yours?"
