Referencial names for Warforged

I thought of a few more:

The original Human Torch and his sidekick Toro (from the Marvel comic series The Invaders, both were flaming androids)

Not to quibble (okay, I'm quibbling :p) Toro was not an android, but rather a human boy who had worked with his parents in the circus as part of a fire-eating act. In the '40s this was considered sufficient explanation for why he could burst into flame & fly like his android idol, the (admittedly poorly named) Human Torch. :confused: Eventually Roy Thomas would explain this to modern minds by retconning that Toro had actually been an early mutant, like the Sub-Mariner. So Toro was arguably the first of the X-Men. ;)

An excellent quibble! I didn't know that. (And here I was all proud of myself for having remembered Toro's name in the first place.)
