How the superhero name generator works
Each hero starts with an element, such as Volt, Frost or Nova, and the element brings the power. The generator then puts it in one of three shapes: element and animal or rank (Frost Falcon), a title and the element (Captain Volt), or one word with an ending (Voltgirl, Voltkid). The origin line says how the hero got the power. There are 72 elements and 24 origins.
Choose a style. Classic heroes are bold and bright. Dark heroes work at night. Cosmic heroes get their power from space. Funny heroes have powers that help with everyday problems, like finding a lost sock. Choose Female, Male or Neutral for the title and the ending: Lady and -girl, Mister and -man, or Agent and -kid.
Tips for a good superhero name
Keep it short: two words or one word with an ending. Say it out loud the way a news reader would. Make the name and the power match, so people guess the power from the name. Check that a famous hero does not have the name already: the generator leaves out the names of the best-known heroes, but not every comic character ever made.
Want a story too? The random backstory generator writes the life before the powers, and the fantasy name generator names the sidekick from another world.
