The only reason is simplicity: Take for example Mrs. Colchiss (Earth-616). That article has no other possible name, fine. Then, if I were going to créate the article for a male Colchiss, what would be the name?

Most logical choice would be, if the female uses "Mrs.", for the male to use "Mr.", instead of Mister, so we have Mr. Colchiss (Earth-616).

Great! That makes sense.

So now, how to know where to use Mr. or Mister? Let's take a look to Reed Richards, Marvel's most famous "Mister". Umm, that links to a full Mister Fantastic article...

So, would it be crazy to consider Mr. for surnames and Mister for codenames with the precedent that wiki already had looong before this discussion? No, not crazy at all, in fact it would be logical.

But what with other ranks? Well, they don't have that gender distinction, and they don't have to be mandatorily in a contracted form, such as "Mrs.", so there is no need to make that distinction...

(Writing mostly addressing myself and with maybe a little bit too much of sarcasm, so no offenses intended, but I think that most points are clear there too...)
