I have a new player who is running the oddest Legacy hero I have ever seen. His PC is a clone of a WWII Nazi Super who was a result of a Steve Rodgers-style Super Soldier program. He was lab-raised but the conditioning didn't take and he's on the loose now, still dressed in the WWII costume, but looking to fight evil.
Neither the player or I have come up with a decent name for the original villian. I have a PC in the campaign who is a golden age leftover and will have fought the original Herr Docktor Klonus der UberFusion or whatever.
He was a light brick/martial artist with flight.

There's always the simple names like "Hauptman Sieg" (As I get it: Captain Victory). You could go with "Donnerschlag" for thunderclap. I think that Champions Universe has a few names for Nazi supers, and you can always use one of those names also.

Well if you wanted a pair of weather controllers you could call them Sturm und Drang. Well actually that means Storm and Urge [I just checked it with Babelfish] so I guess one would be a weather controller and another a mind controller?
Nacht und Nebel, translates as Night and Fog, would be fairly good names for assassins. That would be from Hitler's Night and Fog decree [think that was what it was called, got it out of 4ED Golden Age Champions] concerning spies.

He could be a clone of Der Sturmvogel (Storm Bird) if you're using the CU

Ubermensch
Uncle Slam's evil WWII counterpart was named Fatherland. There's a pic of the mini I made for him here (http://home.earthlink.net/~bluegallery/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/clix_fatherland1.jpg). (That is indeed supposed to be a monocle, but I don't have a very steady painting hand).

To steal from the DC Young All Stars of many moons ago, how about Ubermensch (OverMan)?

I have the idea that I have seen "Night" and "Fog" before somewhere. In a comic ? "Mantis'" suggestion sounds good to me too !

There was a Nazi superduo 'Night and Fog' back in (IIRC) 'All Star Squadron.'
That name set is a no-brainer, though, because of the real history behind the term, so I would use it at will.

One of the actual German military decorations of the period was the Ritterkreuz or Knight's Cross; that may play nicely into a "knight-errant" quality for your man.
If the original was more of a dyed-in-the-wool Nazi, perhaps der Alte Kaempfer or "Old Fighter", which I believe was applied to survivors from the earliest days of the NSDAP, the "old guard" of the party.
On the other hand, if misdirection is your thing, the term Werwolf or "werewolf" was given to the pro-Nazi resistance during and shortly after WW2.

There was also a 'Knight and Fogg' in a few issues of Spider-Man. One turned into metal, Colossus-style, though it looked more like a living suit of armor, and the other turned into a strangulating cloud of mist.
As far as the original, I recommend using Das Wall from European Enemies.
No, seriously.
I mean it!
