When Butch and his friends (Darla, Alfie, etc.) first appeared, they were simply friends who belonged to an informal club of skateboarding kids. The group had no name. Later, in New Mutants Annual #2 and X-Men Annual #10, the group became known as the "Bratpack." Still later, in their appearances in Daredevil, they were known as the "Fatboys" or "Fat Boys."
