Magneto. They've gone back and forth as to whether the name "Erik Lensherr" is actually his real identity or not. The other big one is the Joker. The Joker has never had a definitive origin story; The Killing Joke has been retconned as the Joker lying about his actual identity. And no, his real name is not Jack Napier. There are a ton of characters whose real names were not revealed in their first appearances, especially "mysterious villains".

I assume you mean protagonists/heroes, since your examples are all such. Protagonists Unidentified to this Day -- Deadpool, as the OHOTMU has confirmed Joe Kelly's version of his origin such that "Wade Wilson" is not his real name. -- Straw Man/Scarecrow (may not have a real name in any meaningful sense) -- Sir Steel and the Silver Squire of Freedom's Five; this is a bit of a cheat in that the characters were only seen in cameo flashback's to Union Jack (Montgomery, Lord Falsworth)'s World War I career. Protagonists Unidentified in First Appearance -- Wolverine would be an obvious case; even his longtime alias, "Logan," didn't turn up until Uncanny X-Men #103. "James Howlett" is obviously a later revelation still -- Hawkeye's real name was not revealed until Avengers v1 #64 -- Solo; real name wasn't revealed until his miniseries -- Cloud, of the New Defenders -- Moondragon -- Drax the Destroyer - Omar Karindu "For your information, I don't have an ego.

What's the current status of Longshot? Omega the Unknown? (Maybe one or both of these two should be put in the following section)
Clea (did not get a name until Roy Thomas took over writing Dr. Strange) Rogue (only got a name after the first movie) Silver Surfer Spider-Woman? (Didn't they at first believe she was a mutated spider?) Stranger (well, not sure if he counts as a protagonist, but he did defeat Magneto at his first appearance)
