Today's trope is the Adjectival Man
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAdjectivalMan

So, you've got a mysterious and strange character that needs a name... Oh, it's a male? No worries, then. Just slap an adjective in front the word "man", place a "the" in front of it all, and bravo! You have a name!
---

Note: This is not for characters like "Spider-Man" and "Superman." There's actually a separate trope for that!
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SomethingPerson

Emphasis here is (for the most part) on mysterious characters not given a real name
---

The Pale Man (Pan's Labyrinth)
The Man in Black (Westworld)
The Faceless Men (Game of Thrones)

HM:
The Man in Black (LOST)
The Rubber Man (American Horror Story)
The Invisible Man (The Invisible Man)

I know The Man in Black doesn't follow the structure exactly, but it's the same idea, and is still The + adjective + man

Faceless Men is a group, but again, following the same idea, where they're intentionally mysterious
---

The G-Men (Psychonauts)
The Pale Man (Pan's Labyrinth)

Seeing this reminded me of a really good example but I can't actually remember who it was <_<

After actually reading the description more I don't feel like Mega Man really counts even though he's on that page.

Mega Man (...Mega Man)

This is one that might be a stretch. Kind of falls into the Spider-Man/Superman category, where it's less of the character not having a real name to identify them by and more about their name just being ____ Man

The G-Men is definitely a good example though (as is Half-Life's "The G-Man")
