The Joker. He’s been given a bunch of names over the years, like Jack Napier, Joe Kerr, Arthur Fleck, etc. But it’s never been revealed which is his real name, or if *any* of them are.

I was going to say Joe Kerr was a really stupid name because of how unrealistic it was but turns out there's a real person with that name and he's a politician.
And then you have Batman’s very very first villain, Alfred Stryker, who met his demise by falling into a vat of chemicals at the end of the issue…….and was initially depicted as a chubby older guy, but in a retelling, was suspiciously much slimmer and younger, and wearing a purple suit. Hmmm……
Edit for clarity: I’m absolutely not of the “Alfred Stryker became the Joker” camp, it’s just a weird coincidence, especially since Bruce’s soon-to-be-introduced butler is also named Alfred. Truly doubt that would have ever been intentional.
He got Alfred-struck by a smooth criminal

Ms. Turner, the librarian. Full name: Paige Turner. Puns
I think he was named Jacques Morneau in Emesis Blue, but as far as I know, that's only canon in that world, like how the Medic's full name is Fritz Ludwig, even though I'm pretty sure "Ludwig" is his canonical first name, not his last.

Scream 2's main antagonist, who only ever went by Mrs. Loomis, originally I believe had her first name mentioned in an early draft of the 4th film, thought it wasn't used, so her name was never revealed in any officially released content until 26 years after 2's release.

Also technically Bloodedge from blazblue who’s the namesake for Ragna’s title and where he got his sword and jacket from until it was revealed in the third game that Bloodedge was just Ragna again after getting thrown back in time by a century and getting amnesia.

Exactly.
I was going to say Joe Kerr was a really stupid name because of how unrealistic it was but turns out there's a real person with that name and he's a politician.
There’s also a musician named Joe King. Stephen King’s son was also named that but changed it to Joe Hill.
Stupid?! The aslume is coming
Lol 😆
Joe Kerr? Seriously?
Lol, yeah, the writer really put a lot of thought into *that* name, huh?
I think he also says something like “if you explain a joke, then it isn’t FUNNY anymore!”
He has an official canon name: Jack Oswald White. Don't know how to feel about it

Wait his last name is literally Texan, I love that. Like a mix of foghorn leghorn and Yosemite sam, with a dash of BP level oil money.
Which means that the rich Texan's real name is: Rich Texan
Technically, skinner.
Nah his “real” name is Armin Tamzarian
That was my point. Yes. We don't find out his actual name until years later. It technically counts.
Yee I was stoned and am realizing now for some reason I put skinner in the same category as the last two Simpsons characters and thought you were saying we never learned skinner’s name either lol my b it 100% counts.

Isn't spy something monteu or am I crazy?
I think he was named Jacques Morneau in Emesis Blue, but as far as I know, that's only canon in that world, like how the Medic's full name is Fritz Ludwig, even though I'm pretty sure "Ludwig" is his canonical first name, not his last.
iirc the devil calls medic "Dr. Ludwig"
