Maybe he could and then make some pun about Red Volcano's name when he fights him. Or maybe just "Vulcan", as they also dropped the Black for Vykin (even thought I'm aware they dropped every New Gods' first names). And honestly, calling a black character "Black Something" is incredibly racist. You don't see any White Lighting or White Manta. So why the distinction? Black Canary is the only one I know that breaks the pattern. SonicFan wrote: Personally, I think Slade is a better name for the villain than Deathstroke. Slade is not a better name, it's his real name. And it's lame. Villains need monikers.
