Better question is why the Fantastic Four arent just called the Four?  No one says hey look its the incredible hulk hey look its the amazing spiderman hey look its the mighty thor so wtf do they say hey look its the fantastic four?????

Imagine if there was a Fantastic Thor book?

I always thought it would be cool to have a 1st issue where the #1 is crossed off and the word "Won" is marked over instead.. Like.. Harley Quinn Won

All of my friends grew up pronouncing Liefeld as "Lee-field". Makes no sense. Lie-feld. It's right there. Why were we overcomplicating it?

Sub-mareener and Magnet-o were common, it appears. I hung with those until I saw some episodes of those old Marvel cartoons that weren't really cartoons.

For some reason I thought Byrne was "By-ron". Not sure why. I'm probably just an insufficiently_thoughtful_person.

Here's one that I've never been 100% on: Mazzuchelli. Is it Mazz-oo-CHelli (CH like "chair") or Mazzu-kelly? Or something else entirely?

Another classic example is Cat Yronwode, whose surname is apparently pronounced 'Ironwood'.

@ADAMANTIUM touched on this one already but, it drives me crazy when I hear people say THA-nos.  People I see in my LCS on a regular basis and others online.  I don't know why it drives me crazy but it does.  

I'm confused about how you've broken that out. 

Tha (like ant)?  Tha (like thaw)?  Tha (like flay)?

Nos (like nose)?  Nos (like the thing that makes your car go faster pronounced 'nawse')?
