Maybe that's the case but I've never heard of anybody being a II if they weren't the next in line. In those cases, the naming skips a generation. Perhaps Iris wasn't the best example. See Jackal for a better one. There is a Jackal I, II, and III. None of them are related by family and none of them are legacy villains. Without using the numerals you get something like Jackal (Superman villain) (New Earth), Jackal (a different Superman villain) (New Earth), Jackal (Hangman villain) (New Earth).
