5) CELESTE – Real Name: CELESTE NOBLE
Part of the sprawling, soap opera-inspired Noble clan from ‘Noble Causes’, Celeste actually married her way into the family, after a torrid romance and bitter divorce from the powerhouse Rusty Noble. The source of her power to absorb and fire bolts of stellar energy (as shown by her really cool nebula-space hair) is unknown, but there’s not a lot of chance that she intentionally engineered it to fit with her real space-stuff-invoking first name…

Although fun set, Matthew, thank you!
Fun trivia: there’s actually a word for this. An aptonym is a name that corresponds to a career or skills.
From the webcomic world, Goblins Comics takes an interesting approach to this. The central characters are from a village with a shaman, who names every newborn according to her visions of the child’s future. So there’s Complains Loudly, who protests every nonsensical thi g about the world; Dies Horribly, who lives in constant fear; and… Chief. Who is now the village chief. Because he was named Chief upon birth.
Ha! That sounds really cool…
