MF DOOM had an entire mythos going with several aliases including: MF DOOM (sometimes credited as just “DOOM” like on Born Like This), King Geedorah, Vicktor Vaughn (clever play on “Victor Von Doom,” aka Dr. Doom), Metal Face, and Metal Fingers (used for production credits only, I believe). Also, can’t forget his original moniker, Zev Luv X (with his late brother in the group KMD).
Then you have his collabs like: Madvillian (DOOM + Madlib, and probably the best hip hop album ever produced - Madvilliany),
DangerDOOM (DOOM + Danger Mouse),
DOOMStarks (DOOM + Ghostface Killah. Honestly wish there was more of this),
Aquaman’s pops can’t water check me\
Disrespect me (Yo), indirectly (Yo)\
I seen his feet and they both lefty, he steppin’ half correctly\
As I stroll the globe and terrorize the planet\
With a Bill Clinton mask and them Playskool hammers\
Me and DOOM, always be the best on the landing\
Superheroes for life until our souls vanish
That bolded line is one of my favorite lines ever.
I am gonna be that guy though and point out that it’s Viktor Vaughn (looking at my copy of Vaudeville Villain right now)
and probably the best hip hop album ever produced - Madvilliany

And all of it is top notch.
We lost a literal genius when he passed. RIP.
Ghostface being the Tony Stark to MF DOOM’s Viktor von Doom was always the sickest shit.
One of my favorite tracks with them together was on The Mouse and The Mask by DangerDOOM.

EDIT: Hot Guacamole
Ugh shit I knew that.
The Mask is such a good track. GFK’s verse is so sick (and the beat is amazing).
