It is a choice that always struck me as odd. As you say, aliases are chosen because of associations people like. "cosmicforce" is clear enough. X the Unknown is a logical choice for a teacher. I admit I don't know how "Original Mad Dog" came to be. Lawyerly associations? I believe "Jewel of the West" has a special meaning in Islam. I'm a science fiction fan and "Lazarus Long" is one of the main protagonists of Robert Heinlein, a well-known author.

Mephisto I don't get.
