Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yuan-Ti" data-source="post: 606979" data-attributes="member: 4483">Interesting idea! I used to have an old comic book which depicted Captain America and his buddies (I forgot what the name of the group was, but there was his sidekick Bucky, Miss America, Torch... Union Jack? A few others, including I think Sub-Mariner) fighting against a Nazi super-hero team. I cannot for the life of me remember any of their names, aside from Red Skull who was the leader of the group. There was definitely a guy in a powered armor suit. There was a guy who was supposed to be like a human torpedo (U-Boot might have been his name). There was a vampire... Okay, my memory failed, so I went looking for it on the internet. Success! This page has a list of all the opponents of the Invaders (the group of superheroes fighting for the Allies): <a href="http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/4775/villains.html" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/4775/villains.html</a>I was thinking of (name, what is s/he, German version of name):Baron Blood (vampire) (Baron Blut)Iron Cross (armored suit) (Eisenkreuz)U-Man (was also Atlantean, like the Sub-Mariner) (U-Mann --pronounce the U like OO)Warrior Woman (basically like Miss America, only Nazi) (die Kriegerin)Master Man (basically like Captain America) (not a good direct translation, but you could call him Supersoldat, meaning super soldier -- remember to pronounce those Ss like Zs!)You can find a description of all these villains at <a href="http://www.users.xeroanime.com/~handbook/" target="_blank">http://www.users.xeroanime.com/~handbook/</a>Except that Maus means mouse in German. I know there was a big panzer called that, but still...Given that the Nazi party was really into Norse mythology, I think using some of these names is very appropriate. Maybe Ragnarok could be the name of the group? Sort of the "super weapon" to win the war? A couple other thoughts regarding names and using German words. For a Flash-like character, the best German word is "Flink" But that does not sound too evil, does it? Blitz would be better than, since it refers to lighting, is familiar and easy to say and still refers to something fast. If you want help coming up with German-language names, let me know. I would be glad to help.</blockquote>
