If you were a superhero... (#2)

[Dannyalcatraz]

would you have a name that said something about your powers? No "super" name at all? Something enigmatic or jokey? Something that confuses opponents about your powers?

(In that last category, I was just thinking that "Atomic Beaver" would be fun to work with, even if my powers had nothing to do with nuclear energy or beavers.)

That said, I'd probably go with something enigmatic or descriptive...I'm a traditionalist in that regard, at least.

Ohhh, I want to be "Blademaiden"!!

 

[Heckler]

I'd probably keep "Heckler." I chose it for the super hero aspect in the first place.

I can see it now (In a cheesy French accent) "Go away! or I shall taunt you a second time"

The Power Pessimist. "Downer Power!"

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Heck...now that I think about it, I'd probably just use my screen-name!

(That, or the aforementioned Atomic Beaver.)

I like names that have something to do with the hero's power, even if it's subtle.

Back in high school/early college I used to have a hard time falling asleep at night and would make up stories to amuse myself, usually based on TV shows or movies I liked. After the X-Men movies came out I made up a mutant that could manipulate computers just by touching some metal part of them. I called her simply, "Tech." She usually wore a geeky t-shirt and jeans, to touch on the other superhero thread.

 

[megamania]

megamania's powers are like Taskmaster in Marvel comics. If he sees something down within non-super human means he can now do it.

As an example- never seen someone play basketball. He watches a player sink a freethrow. He picks up the ball and sinks ten freethrows in a row.

One problem- this happens also with personalities. sooooooo......

Mega = x1000

Mania= explosive outbursts of physical and emotional energy.


With other characters I use various naming types. I avoid the whole "super" or "Captain" thing whenever I can but sometimes will do it.

So, you have the ability to cast maze on your opponent, imprisoning them there.
