When you see the word "chairman", do you sometimes get confused into thinking that it might be someone in a wheelchair?

Wouldn't a better name for that hero be "Chair-man"?

Just with a man in a wheelchair.

A woman in a wheelchair would be "chairwoman".

those people are called physically disabled or injured

im guessing usually it would be people that dont know about corporate structures that would get confused by the term chairman

When you hear oxymoron?
Do you think it is someone who is a moron and lacks oxygen to their brain?
