Ralph 124c41+ was the hero of the book of the same title by
Hugo Gernsback (the man the hugo was named after). He could "forsee" for
the "people".

Re:Weirdly named heros
Ralph 124C41+(To Foresee For One) was the hero of Hugo Gernsback's
story of the same name (I believe it was first published in Popular
Mechanics),and the plus signified that he was one of the world's
most gifted/rich individuals.
Uncle Walker(*)
(*For the ghost who walks)

Best answer received, and nearly correct. Ralph was One to Forsee for
One (his light of love). The + indicated that he was indeed favored by
the powers that be.
