Marvel’s Deadpool (Wade Wilson) was initially a parody of DC’s Deathstroke (Slade Wilson).
JoJos Bizarre Adventure has a sizable chunk of characters whose names are 80s bands or musicians.
Quite a few stories have biblical names or classical god names for their characters when not depicting the original, but that’s even more of a stretch than my other examples.
