For the Riddler, how about Rebus instead?

And for Star Sapphire, how about "Emery", a reference to the material used for emery boards, which is chemically similar to that which makes up sapphire.

I liked "Quiz Kid" who appeared in the Toon Titans book!

Isn't Query one of Riddler's henchwomen? I'm pretty sure those two women that hang around him as named Echo and Query.

Here are a few alternate ideas for villains already mentioned:

Actually, since the Sandman's kid partner was Sandy, maybe Catman's should be Catty, Fisherman's Fishery, and Shaggy Man's...well, that one doesn't really work, does it?

How about Green Lantern's female sidekick: Lady Red Light?

Blockbuster and Indie Kid? B-Movie? Wow, so many bad puns waiting to be made. I'll restrain myself.
