I'm generally in favor of that, but I think some guidelines on what "proven otherwise" means would be necessary.

As an example, I assume this means most Magneto alternates would be "Max Eisenhardt (Earth-XXXX)". But I would defend Erik Lehnsherr (Earth-10005), since he is using that name even as a child in the camps. What about other realities where he is openly calling himself Erik Lehnsherr? Do we assume that's an alias even in those realities and list him as Max Eisenhardt, or accept that Erik Lehnsherr may very well be his real name in that reality?
