ERMAC: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermac https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermac “ The character originated from rumors alleging he appeared in the original 1992 game as either a glitch or a hidden character, which were perpetuated by video game magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM). His name was derived from a diagnostics menu in the first game that displayed the text "error macro" as ERMACS. Although the rumors were false, growing interest led to him becoming an official playable character.” So this reflects both the original “ermac” macro usage in the assembly code as well as the perpetuation of the rumors which led to an actual ERMAC character :)
