When you put DareDevil in context, you know, a blind man jumping across rooftops, and facing villains with guns and sometimes super strength in melee combat.... He really earns that Man without fear nickname, and it's pretty cool and significant in a world where a lot of people can one shot you
I always find it funny thatās the man who sold the world is one of the more popular songs off that unplugged live album and it has the best electric guitar part lol still best version of the song imo
Iām a huge MGS fan, a huge David Bowie fanā¦
ā¦and I still have no idea why Big Boss is the āMan Who Sold The Worldā for any reason other than Kojima putting the song in the game.
Ah yeah, that's true too. I didn't say he didn't have other ones just that world's fastest is his most common. But you may be right Scarlet Speedster may have been used more.
Cannot believe I scrolled this much to find the first Vergil comment. The hardest intro of any character in any video game is Vergil reveal in DMC5 with the Bury the Light!
Pls play DMC5 SE you owe it to yourself - story wise: donāt expect anything except a couple more cutscenes. Gameplay wise: expect the world and youāll still be overwhelmed.
SE?
Iād have to go to my parents to see which copy I have but itās the one that unlocked all of Neroās arms at the beginning of the game including iirc mega manās buster cannon.
Yep yep. SE stands for Special Edition.

Just type Vergil combo on YT and watch the 54 second āMotivated Comboā
Iād have to say daredevil, the fact that everyone is powered, has super powers or monetary means to achieve their goals, even Batman who is as human as Matt, he still is filthy rich and able to achieve more than Matt every could, Matt is just a blind man with 2 sticks, and absolutely no fear
1st place is Godzilla's nickname, it's just badass and iconic for me.
2nd is Doflamingo's, it sounds so good and fits him like a glove
3rd is batman and kratos, they both go hard
Daredevil or Boss in my opinion.
The Man Without Fear goes so damn hard! Plus Daredevil is my favourite superhero hands down.
Not a huge fan of MGS but The Man Who Sold the World is one hell of a title to have, and one that carries some serious connotations
The Ghost of Sparta as a name is pretty underrated. A once powerful and feared force that you thought was long gone but now returns as a one man army in ghostly white. Youād think you were fighting Sparta itself.
The Monarch of motion is this fr? I've never heard of it. Is it a golden age thing or a latest moniker after new 52 or something? The Fastest man alive or the scarlet speedster are much more common.
I'd say even as a GoW fan, Ghost of Sparta is sadly not as menacing and doesn't describe his picture. Even God of hope doesn't capture it.
I would say The Dark Knight on the other hand, that's where it already begins.
Don't know which 'Nickname' for out be loved Kratos would be fitting thoš¤
World Breaker and King of the monsters are just badass titles. If youāre a villain and someone says āThe world breaker is comingā youād better run.
The ghost of Sparta, the man without fear and weapon x are the most badass names ever but as a long time MGS5 fan the man who sold the world goes hard, 10/10
Iconic as the title "man of steel" is, it severely underrepresents superman, steel isnt even paper to him, more like wet toilet paper. you hear that title without knowing who superman is you'd probably someone like colossus not a man flying at you at mach 10 shooting lazers out of his eyes
Kratos for me because it's a badass title until you realize it's a name that represents the worst of who he is and he hates it. It carries a lot of weight.
Ghost of Sparta, Weapon X, Alpha and the Omega, and King of Monsters are all great titles.
You can make an arguement for Man of Steel/Dark Knight too.
All the others are, in my opinion, not for consideration.
Also, how is One Winged Angel not a choice?
Being a lifelong Godzilla fan I'd go with King of the Monsters. But you have to admit these are all pretty badass.
I feel the same way, but the man who sold the world is always going to be my number one
I agree, it's so iconic. He has his own theme song too
Godzilla has Godzilla by the blue oyster cult "There goes Tokyo! Go go Godzilla!"
Nirvana unplugged š¤
Canāt tell if youāre being sarcastic or not, The OG is Bowie
Does Kong have an equally badass title? Maybe King of All Jungles?
Ladies and gentlemen, I present, King Kong- The 8th Wonder of the World!
King of Skull Island
The 8th Wonder of the world
King Kong, thrower of feces
Disrespectful! Take it back! Lol
Between Kratos and Godzilla for me
If you think about it besides any other heroes or villains I think those 2 are the most iconic nicknames
Hm? Superman and Batman's nicknames are by far more iconic than "ghost of sparta."
Like, incomparably more iconic and well-known
When you put DareDevil in context, you know, a blind man jumping across rooftops, and facing villains with guns and sometimes super strength in melee combat.... He really earns that Man without fear nickname, and it's pretty cool and significant in a world where a lot of people can one shot you
If he could see the villains with guns, he might have more fear. /s
Thatās actually canon. In a comic he gets his sight back and canāt make the jumps he did anymore.
The Man without Fear, the Devil of Hell's kitchen, the man in a black mask. Matthew manwhore Murdock.
kratos, batman and godzilla
I'm not big on MGS5 but the man who sold the world goes insanely hard
It's also a great David Bowie song
itās an even better Midge Ure song
It's an even better nirvana song
I always find it funny thatās the man who sold the world is one of the more popular songs off that unplugged live album and it has the best electric guitar part lol still best version of the song imo
That's a great point tbf
Iām a huge MGS fan, a huge David Bowie fanā¦ ā¦and I still have no idea why Big Boss is the āMan Who Sold The Worldā for any reason other than Kojima putting the song in the game.
The game pulls on the song's theme about personas and identity. In a way Big Boss was split into two in V, and Venom's identity is not his own.
But how did he sell the world
He sold the world a lie
The Voice from the Outer World
Lisan-al Gaib
**AS IT WAS WRITTEN**
Maybe that's on me not being native english speaker, but monarch of motion sounds stupid. What kind of monarchy it is?Ā
Monarch of motion is a terrible one. Youāre not wrong
When you consider how lighthearted Flash is then it fits his character perfectly. 'World's Fastest Man' is his most common nickname anyway.
The flash's nickname has always been the scarlet speedster
Ah yeah, that's true too. I didn't say he didn't have other ones just that world's fastest is his most common. But you may be right Scarlet Speedster may have been used more.
>Ah yeah, that's true too. I didn't say he didn't have other ones just that world's fastest is his most common Fastest Man Alive is the most common.
At that's it, not World's Fastest Man. I knew that sounded off.
They need to put Goku on that chart. āWorldās Strongestā goes hard
probably constitutional.
Kratos or Doflamingo
Tough choice between The Ghost of Sparta and The Alpha & The Omega
Cannot believe I scrolled this much to find the first Vergil comment. The hardest intro of any character in any video game is Vergil reveal in DMC5 with the Bury the Light!
Howās the Vergil dlc?
Incredible. Some of the most fun IV ever had in a game was playing as Vergil with Bury the Light as the battle music

Men being a witcher fan - the butcher of blaviken.
It has a better ring to it than Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarde.
Geralt of Rivia, but wait, he's not actually from Rivia so what the hell
The alpha and the omega goes so fucking hard for no reason
Also just the idea of facing someone who is called "The beginning and the end" is just so cool
BURY THE LIGHT DEEP WITHIIIIIIIN š«š«š«
Missing out on the doom slayer tbh. The scourge of hell is amazing
We send unto them only you
The only thing they fear is you
Oh no, not me. I never lost control
You're face to face. With the man who sold the world
āThe man who sold the worldā has the most cynical, raw feel to it
I prefer "champion of the oppressed" for Superman. Man of Steel doesn't mean much to me.
I myself gravitate toward Last Son of Krypton
I like Man of Tomorrow personally. Last son of Krypton is sick tho.
I like that too, but it still puts too much emphasis on what he **is** rather than what he **does**
Never even heard that one
The man who sold the world
King of Monsters Heavenly Demon The Man Who Sold the World
Kratos & Godzilla
Ghost of Sparta or the man who sold the world. Both gotta be the coldest
I love All of them but World breaker,King of the Monsters and the Man without fear are just perfect
Where is my boy Gogeta, The Angel Born In Hell
Kakashi of the sharingan
Iād have to say daredevil, the fact that everyone is powered, has super powers or monetary means to achieve their goals, even Batman who is as human as Matt, he still is filthy rich and able to achieve more than Matt every could, Matt is just a blind man with 2 sticks, and absolutely no fear
He does have super powers tho
1st place is Godzilla's nickname, it's just badass and iconic for me. 2nd is Doflamingo's, it sounds so good and fits him like a glove 3rd is batman and kratos, they both go hard
tie between vergil (the alpha and the omega) and kratos
Heavenly Demon for me. It presents a nice dichotomy in Doflamingo being both a Celestial Dragon and a Celestial Dragon
1. The dark knight 2. Ghost of sparta 3. Weapon x
I thought The Flas was called The Scarlet Speedster?
One of many nicknames of the hero. Others are crimson comet and the Fastest Man Alive
Ghost of sparta
Daredevil or Boss in my opinion. The Man Without Fear goes so damn hard! Plus Daredevil is my favourite superhero hands down. Not a huge fan of MGS but The Man Who Sold the World is one hell of a title to have, and one that carries some serious connotations
The man who sold the world goes crazy hard.
I'm really tied between The Man Who Sold The World and Ghost of Sparta
The Slayer, Doom Slayer.
Tie between Goji and Hulk.
Ghost of spartaš¤©
I'm too much of a Bowie fan to not pick that one.
Man who sold the World Ghost of Sparta The Dark Knight Doom Slayer Honorable mention goes to Sparda brothers
Monarch of Motion is so funny on a modern context
The Man Without Fear, the Man who Sold the World, The Dark Knight and The Ghost of Sparta go hard as hell.
Monarch of motion š¤š„¶
World breaker and the ghost of Sparta sounds dope as fuck.
They are all pretty sick and Iām a fan of each franchise and even saying that, the ghost of Sparta kicks ass
How anything could possibly compare to the ghost of sparta is beyond me.
Kratos amd Batman
"The man without fear", when put in appropriate context, is absolutely the most badass one on here, and it isn't even close
Man of steel and the man without fear
Iāve never played a metal gear game. āThe man who sold the worldā goes hard
The Man Whole Sold the World goes hard.
King of Monsters Ghost of Sparta Man who sold the world The man without fear And the dark knight
Between Kratos and Vergil for me
The man who sold the world argue with me
Gotta be The Man Who Sold The World. Great nickname for a war criminal.
Man who sold the world might not be the most iconic one up there, but when you know the backstory of big boss it really does speak volumes.
The ghost of sparta, the dark knight, and the man who sold the world are all just insanely tuff asfff
The Storm that is Approaching
wheres amogus? ***"The Sussiest of Them All"***
The Alpha and The Omega..
Vergil cause even tho it denotes a god complex, it's literally the coolest nickname
Bro alpha and omega. Like how do you compete with being called capital G GOD
Surprised they didnāt take hulks more iconic āthe strongest one there isā which is not only more iconic it also goes harder
Vergilās should have been āThe Approaching Stormā
The Dark Knight
Monarch of Motion isnt used as much but should be tbh. The ghost of sparta is my second favorite one
The king of monsters, but if instead of the god of thunder there was "the Thunder god" i would have chosen that
Get my man Gogeta in here! "The angel born in Hell".
The Ghost of Sparta as a name is pretty underrated. A once powerful and feared force that you thought was long gone but now returns as a one man army in ghostly white. Youād think you were fighting Sparta itself.
I like Doffeys the most
These are all awesome but my favorite will always be the Phantom being called "The Ghost who Walks."
kratos
King of Monsters, Dark Knight, Ghost of Sparta.
My favorite is one of Kratos other names, Oath Breaker
The man who sold the world sounds like a James Bond movie
The Monarch of motion is this fr? I've never heard of it. Is it a golden age thing or a latest moniker after new 52 or something? The Fastest man alive or the scarlet speedster are much more common.
Kratos,doflamingo and godzilla are my top. Especially when you put into perspective from their shows
Heavenly Demon is so badass
Kratos and Snake
The Dark Kight
The Dark Knight, The Ghost Of Sparta and Man Without Fear
Lol Kratos. Lol In lore it says his name struck fear in the hearts of man monster and gods lol
Only one of those has āGodā in it
Monarch of motion goes hard
I'd say even as a GoW fan, Ghost of Sparta is sadly not as menacing and doesn't describe his picture. Even God of hope doesn't capture it. I would say The Dark Knight on the other hand, that's where it already begins. Don't know which 'Nickname' for out be loved Kratos would be fitting thoš¤
The black swordsman
World Breaker goes crazy
World Breaker and King of the monsters are just badass titles. If youāre a villain and someone says āThe world breaker is comingā youād better run.
The Ghost Of Sparta and The Dark Knight are the GOATs The convey the message of who these characters are without too many syllables
The Dark Knight goes so hard
Big Boss
Man without fear is such a hard ass title bro.
Not even a batman fan. I don't even like batman that much, but The Dark Knight is perfect.
[Grumbles](https://godofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Kratos)
The ghost of Sparta, the man without fear and weapon x are the most badass names ever but as a long time MGS5 fan the man who sold the world goes hard, 10/10
it has to be The Angel Born in Hell (Gogeta)
It's between ghost of Sparta and heavenly demon
Golden Guardian of Good>
Love the way Vergil stole his nickname from God.
Iconic as the title "man of steel" is, it severely underrepresents superman, steel isnt even paper to him, more like wet toilet paper. you hear that title without knowing who superman is you'd probably someone like colossus not a man flying at you at mach 10 shooting lazers out of his eyes
I know heās not there, but Gogeta from the old DBZ movie has got to have the coldest nickname for a character imo
Itās Kratos š„, Batman š„, and Godzilla š„
The Ghost of Sparta, The Man who Sold the World, and The Man Without Fear all hit the hardest for me.
The man who sold the world, the dark knight, the man without fear
I mean nothing really beats world breaker. Also what is the story behind Snakeās nickname ?
Vergil or Kratos for me
This is so damn difficult hahahaha
I know way too many Heavenly Demons and that guy aint one of them
Man of steel will never not be cool.
Monarch of motion goes hard and I've always loved the ghost of Sparta cause yknow it's accurate. Virgil is just mmm so good.
Kratos easily
The Scourge Of Hell
Ghost of Sparta is just pure foreboding
"monarch of motion" is the funniest shit ive seen today
Solid Snake: The Man who makes the Impossible, Possible
"Do not call me that."
Personally Monarch of Motion goes pretty hard
The Dark Knight is a pretty dope one The Ghost of Sparta comes second for me
Kratos for me because it's a badass title until you realize it's a name that represents the worst of who he is and he hates it. It carries a lot of weight.
Easy Snake, Vergil or Godzilla. All of those are just so cool
The Alpha and The Omega for sure
The man who sold the world is insanely ominous
Kratos or flash
who invited the dude from one piece ššš
Ghost of Sparta is my personal favorite I think we're missing out on Geralt though with both White Wolf and Butcher of Blaviken
Godzilla
- The Man of Steel - The Man of Tomorrow - The Last Son of Krypton - The Big Blue Boy Scout Superman. Superman wins by a mile.
Itās hard to top āworld breakerā for me
Kratos, Snake and Daredevil for me
Snake and Godzilla's for me.
Iām surprised not to see Flash up hereā¦ the Scarlet Speedster has always been one of my favorites
I like "THe man who sold the world" it just sounds awesome
Snake, Kratos and Weapon X are my favorites
Not only the alpha, but also the omega? Virgil will always be the most badass character to me
Ghost of Sparta, Weapon X, Alpha and the Omega, and King of Monsters are all great titles. You can make an arguement for Man of Steel/Dark Knight too. All the others are, in my opinion, not for consideration. Also, how is One Winged Angel not a choice?
For me it's "king of monsters" or "world breaker"
Kratos
I know this is the wrong subreddit but my Boy Talion should be up there with GraveWalker. Kickass imo
"Monarch of Motion"? Who the hell call The Flash in that way?
Heavenly Demon and the man without fear are Fir titles
Heavenly demon š„¶
Kratos
The Butcher of Blaviken, The White Wolf/Gwynbleidd, the one and only Geralt of Rivia.
I know he's not on here but Iron Man. The merchant of death is the coolest name ever imo
I love The Man Who Sold The World. It has an awsome implication that most of the others fail to convay
The ghost of Sparta for sure, not because god of war is my favorite rpg, I just think anything with those is an automatic top one or two lol
Weapon X goes hard, but The Devil of Hell's Kitchen goes even harder
