Chopper, Helo, Copter - the bloke who always hovers around.
ET - spaced out bloke - lights on but nobody home
Magnet - the bloke who has everyone's gear or sticky fingers.
Target - the bloke who always ends up in strife.
Cyclone , Typhoon or just plain Ty - the bloke, usually an expert = drip under pressure] who comes from nowhere, rushes in , screws everything up and disappears as quickly as he came.
Lightning - can't hit twice in the same place.
Astray or just Tray - the bloke with the dirty mouth especially around ladies.
Pistol, Smith & Wesson if there happen to be 2, Colt - the bloke[s] who constantly shoot off their mouth.
Trowel - the peacemaker - smooths everything over.
Mirror - the bloke [boss] who constantly says he'll look into it - but usually does nothing.
Bundy - the rum bloke - a real good bloke.
Webster or Oxford - the bloke who claims to know everything.
