I got thinking about Wotan a bit more and it obviously is a pun on Odin
(besides spelling the given 5 word title). Wotan controls all else and
has one "eye". His "sons" fire "lightening", carry hammers, and create
mischief.
Anything more that I missed?

Just check any opera in the Wagner Ring Cycle...
