Curiosity Concerning Consonance
Why is it that many of the famous superheroes have first and last names that begin with the same letter? Consonance is an interesting literary device, and maybe DC and Marvel thought their readers would remember the names more easily. In any case, I was trying to remember all the superheroes that have this characteristic and here is my list:
Clark Kent

Peter Parker
Bruce Banner
Reed Richards
Sue Storm
Matt Murdock
Scott Summers
Or their girlfriends:
Lois Lane

Lana Lang
Betty Brant
Pepper Potts
Vicki Vale
Or Enemies:

Lex Luthor
Green Goblin
Victor Von Doom
Curious, isn't it?

Ha! Good observation.
Thanks! Kess apparently thinks I'm crazy... But I couldn't get the similarity out of my head!
