Another superhero thread!

[MiskWisk]

Admiral Wolverine Lightningbolt

That should work fine and strike fear in the heart of the peasants my enemies.

 

[Gunjester]

Enoch, and intelligent scribe and hunter of rogue angels.

I'd love Angel-themed powers, wings, maybe my halo is a massive chakram or something. Hunting demons would be more the focus than crime.

As for old-school heroes, maybe somethign simple like "The Vizard", I like me some old world charm.

 

[StormShaun]

Archangel. (Or Barachiel the Archangel of Lightning)

Not because of Garrus, but because of my love for them.
And that if I had superpowers it would be a combination of lightning and archangel powers.

Now that i think about it . Superhero names all sound so corny . The best i can come up with is No-man . Because no man can stop me . Hopefully my power is to be able to stop and resume time at will . Actually now that i think about it . I wouldn't be a superhero, i'd easily be corrupted . And become a villain .

 

[Edguy]

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.

Why isn't there an actual superhero named "Anonymous", consisting of a large group of vigilantes operating under the appearance of one individual? It's just too obvious, or would that clash with V for Vendetta?

Oh, admit it, it's totally because of Garrus.

Come to think of it, "Vakarian" would be a pretty decent superhero name.

 

[Treeinthewoods]

Side-kick man.

With the power to join up with and follow any other superhero at a moments notice.

Going to need some type of person who will work with me and follow my lead as I crusade against crime though.

 

[snappydog]

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

That is possibly the best thing. No further qualification to that statement, just the best thing.

I'd like to be a shapeshifter called John Doe, because that's presumably what I would be if anyone tried to identify me and I'd changed into someone who didn't already exist.

 

[kypsilon]

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...

You'd have to fight it out with this guy...

No two heroes can have the same name without throwing down for it.

I'd call myself Mr. Unexplainium. WTF does that mean? I don't have to tell you.

 

[MartianWarMachine]

I will be... The Anvil. I will fly/teleport around Scotland with a great big hammer and a suit of golden power armour. Maybe wings too. Alternatively, I will be The Martian War Machine, and walk around Horsell Common with metal flesh and a heat ray for an arm.

I'd call myself Mr. Unexplainium. WTF does that mean? I don't have to tell you.

Does that mean you're related to Miss Explodium and Captain Unobtainium?

 

[Galletea]

The thing about names is that when you're a hero, the name is made up for you by the public. So it would depend on what I did and who saw it.

Good idea, and given they would all use the same identity but show different powers villains would have no clue what to expect. Making sure they stay in touch well enough to know what each other is up to to maintain the illusion of singularity however could be problematic without a psychic.

 

[Kolby Jack]

My personal name plan if I ever happen to become a superhero (yes, I've thought long and hard about this, shut up): Let the public name you. That's how all the great superheroes do it. They just start saving people and fighting crime, and the press or the public attach a good name to him/her and if it sticks, it sticks. That way you don't have to worry about copyrights; if the public names you, who can stop them? And the press would be wary of such legal issues before proposing a name. Besides, imagination and creativity are much better when crowd-sourced.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Thanatos, the Angel of Death. Because it sounds cool.

They could recruit people and have some of their psychic members connect them all in a semi-hive-mind, so they would all know the plan, their part in it, everyone else's part in it, what they have to do, what everyone else has to do, where everyone else is, and what they're all doing and thinking. So if one of them is in trouble, the nearest non-occupied members can head over there and help them out, or if they get captured, then they would be disconnected from the hive-mind so that they can't be used to gain information on the others.
