Also just for fun:
Arm-Fall-Off-Boy - in similar prose to Bizarro he is a dense person who lacks subtlety but at heart yearns to be a hero. These people are real, they want the pageantry of heroics but lack any real understanding. In other words, their morose comes from ego. In wanting to be seen as a hero, as strong, as a better-than-thou individual they actually show themselves to be the sum of their parts and are deconstructed, he uses his arm as a weapon because he is "easily disarmed" as a character.
Codpiece - As with most gun enthusiasts and people who are military trained the gun is seen as an extension of power, hold the gun and you are powerful - have a big hard penis and you're powerful = the gun becomes man-hood. Killing and fucking become synonymous ("I killed that pussy" - "I killed that pussy last night" - "I want to destroy that girl") hence the women running in fear. And again, this actually happens with people, as with all comic book characters they are based on real individuals or collectives.
Matter Eater Lad - His first name is a play on words that comes from the arabic term to have information from god come to you, home planet: (Pepto) "bismoll" as in the thing you take when you eat too much and as "abysmal" which where his character lays - an emotional eater who turns to food to support him emotionally, all he eats is "junk". God is the comic writer and the message to you the viewer from God is to stop emotionally eating.
Dog Welder - we have tons of colloquialisms involving dogs, sleep with them you wake up with fleas, dog tired, you're my dawg, you're in the dog house, etc. In this case Dog Welder is making an important truth real: these people are worthless like a dead dog, so he makes them in to dogs so everyone knows they're worthless. Its an older term, but for example a baker back in the day would say put the dogs out front so they sell first, denoting in idiom that they are the worst ones.
you're welcome xD
