  It is my understanding that XKCD’s “characters” are somewhere between an actual character and an archetype. It isn’t clear…and kind of doesn’t matter, if Black Hat is the same guy in every comic or if he’s a different devious schemer in each. Randall hasn’t bothered to name any of them so the community has given them unofficial nicknames.

    Megan is actually named in multiple comics though, so is Danish (Black Hat’s girlfrenemy). Cueballs also have names occasionally but they’re all drawn the same.

      Yeah Black Hat called her “My dearest darling danish” after she called him “my cutie pie.” Closest thing she’s had to a name.

  I remember reading about their names in explainxkcd. I think the only one never named in the comics is Cueball.

  For a while, there was a blog, but I don’t think it named any character.
