They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

No Ernestos but a repeating last name.

I thought that was because it was a family...so of course the last name is propagated downwards.
I could be wrong though...

Edit: I'm thinking of that story arc where you're saving the WSPDR radio "spy" lady's family...mom, dad and brother I think it was....
I like the catch though OP (about Ernesto).

Penelope Yin and Penny Preston, and isn't there a NPC Villainous named Bad Penny?
Romulus the Warshade and Romulus the Nictus ... which Manti INSISTED were not the same person. Apparently, "Romulus" is the equivalent of "Bob" in Nictese.

"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

And I think there is a Marcus Cole too, you know...fron the dimension where everybody is Marcus Cole.
I hate that dimension. Way too many face plates.
I've seen a lot of repeating names between unrelated characters, but I think the most prominent ones have been mentioned. Thing is, one writer doesn't necessarily know all the names of all the other characters in the game, so a lot of more famous names get repeated without any real connection.
Samuel_Tow is the only poster that makes me want to punch him in the head more often when I'm agreeing with him than when I'm disagreeing with him.

To be on the safe side, we should probably move all the workers in Sharkhead over to that dimension, so they can do a little Cole mining.
Make sure to send them with jackets....I hear it is very Cole...D there.
I am sorry...that joke was just horrible. I mean I usually have standards...but that....I just feel so dirty now.

I think from now on, I'll name all the characters in my MA arcs "Jeff".
Ahem....If you take the letters in Ernesto and shift them around, then change them into number, multiply the numbers by 8, break them down into binary and recode as Hex, then shuffle all non-numbers before combining the numbers and translating into Alpha you get the following:
Lord Nemesis Wuz here.
It's true...
Jeff Nemesis?

While doing Agent G's arc for the first time in about a year last night, I opened up Captain Castillo's bio and learned (or relearned, if I'd seen it before and forgotten) that his full name is Ernesto Castillo.
This leaves us with at least three notable characters named "Ernesto":
Ernesto Hess- Council traitor and contact for a task force on Striga Isle
Ernesto Rodriguez- Black Scorpion's real name
Ernesto Castillo- Captain Castillo of the Sky Raiders
To my knowledge, "Ernesto" is the only name that's repeated across several characters like this. Why, I wonder, is "Ernesto" such a common name in City of Heroes-land? And are there any additional Ernestos I have missed?
