Huh, I wrote a reply but it didn't seem to post? Weird. But yeah obviously that would be the real world explanation for the similarities, but it's still fun to theorize the possible reason for it in-universe.
 * 1) In-universe, that's a possible explanation as to why their names are so similar, though Sucker Punch likely did the exact opposite, naming the Slytunkhamens after Sly.

On Clockwerk's origin, the theory that Penelope provided his mechanical 'suit', while I'm not a fan of the idea, seems most plausible to me.

Some people think that Clockwerk could be Penelope herself, which I can't get behind ''at all. ''I can't see her hating the Cooper clan as much as Clockwerk did just because she thinks Bentley's talent being limited because of Sly (or even because the two defeated her in Thieves in time).

Hopefully we'll get some answers about him in the movie, or even Sly 5.
