How about Farnoq Dahn from the "War and Pieces" storyline from PAD's Hulk? Strong Guy christened him "Stupid-Head." I know it's obscure, but it's the best I can do.
Perhaps the Iron Man nickname of "shellhead" didn't mean that his head was shpaed like a shell, but the fact that his helmet covers his whole head and face LIKE a shell. Thus, "shellhead." Seems rather obvious, to me. ;)
I think you we on the money with Marvels' heroes not being the most creative when it comes to nicknames. Heh.
Hmm. A more pertinent question might be why it's only Marvel that does these "head" nicknames.
Come to think of it, I don't know that DC are traditionally that big on giving their characters nicknames at all.
