Another superhero thread!

[Vegosiux]

Well, inspired by the superpowers thread, I noticed that one aspect of superheroes gets always neglected, while it's still so important.

The name.

As a superhero, you need a catchy name. Maxim 16: Your name is in the mouth of others. Make sure it has teeth. [http://static.schlockmercenary.com/comics/schlock20021121.jpg?1297712538]

So, what kind of a toothy name would you pick for your superhero persona?

Me, I'd likely go with something like The Restless Vagabond. Now I know that's just a classy name for a hobo, but the essence should be that I'll go wherever the need takes me, and not operate from one single base.

Heh, while I know the actual meaning of Vagabond the only thing I can ever think of when I hear the word is this:

Spoiler

It suddenly becomes so much more bad ass.

OT: My super hero name? Pale Horse, for with me I bring death. Though I'm going to go out on a limb and say theres already a comic of that somewhere, which makes me sad. =/

 

[Guffe]

man-man
Because I'm a normal man and every (famous) superhero name needs to end with man right? (Superman, Batman, Spiderman...)
No idea, it would have to be connected to my powers somehow I guess...

 

[The Funslinger]

I'd say The Gunslinger, but that's cheating what with my love of Dark Tower. So...

The Agent of Retribution.

It's a shame OP went with Restless Vagabond, because I can't put anything similar without seeming unoriginal and I always imagined my hero persona being some sort of experienced, perhaps quasi-ancient drifter.

 

[Edguy]

That would depend on my powers and what I do, I'd say.

 

[Froggy Slayer]

Personally, I'd go out, save people and do other super heroics, and see which name stuck.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis-Man

No rhyme or reason, I just want to hear how many people get that right when calling for my aid.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

It probably would depend on my power. So If I had element manipulation powers, I'd be Elemental, is I was a shapeshifter, I'd be called Shift, and if I could warp reality, just call me Chaos.

...Yeah, I'm not very creative.

 

[Aerosteam]

I'd just go with Aerosteam, since it's the only name people address me as that isn't exactly my name at all. Also it's pretty cool.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Well for one thing, if I ever had electric powers or electricity related, my superhero name would be "Conjurer" (short for Conjurer or lightning).

I pretty certain that whatever superpowers I would get, I can come up with an hero/ villain like super name for it (I have a creative mind with it come to ideas).

 

[BabySinclair]

I wouldn't have a name, at least not one that I personally ascribe or recognize. Unless my powers force me to be operating openly anonymity would be my friend. "Anonymous" would be funny if I had to leave a note just because the internet would have a field day with it.

 

[serious biscuit]

Yeah, I couldn't think of anything better or more appropriate.

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

Assuming I'm the first superhero around, Advent. If not, then something related to my powers, whatever they may be

 

[Mordekaien]

Mr. Awesome of course, the blatant superman rip off... now I miss City of Heroes.
Or Ravenstaff, a staff using gadget wielding hero!

 

[Vern5]

Two ideas:

The Synapse - Able to project his mind in the minds of others in order to investigate their dreams and memories.

Take-Away - Able to telekinetically eat things at long-distances.

 

[Darkasassin96]

Well when I eventually become a masked vigilante I am probably going to use the name Azazel. It means "the one whom God strenghtens" for those who don't know your Hebrew and it sounds pretty awesome too.

Or like someone else said I will see what the media has decided to call me and if I like that I will go by that name. If not then I will scratch my name in to the chest of a criminal and say call me this.

 

[Tiamattt]

Admiral Marvel

Take that Shazam/all you weird Kree ppl

 

[Proto Taco]

I'd totally go with "Oh Snap" because it'd totally table flip the mood.

Potential Lines:



-"Oh Snap, you've come to save your love"

-"The city will be decimated in 5 min! You've failed Oh Snap!!!"

-"There's no way you can stop me now Oh Snap!!!!"

-"Oh Snap, save me!!"



And on, I could do this all day. Anyway, yeah, my super name:

~Oh Snap!~

 

[dementis]

Someone recently called me The agent of chaos, I really think it has a nice ring to it so I'd probably go with that.

 

[Demolition_Human]

Well like most said, it depends on the power I have. If I gotten the ability to create items from energy, like weapons and such, I would call myself arsenal or something silly like that.
