Moonager has flight, lunar blasts, and energy shields! He charges his power at night by pretty much leaving his bedroom window open while he sleeps and basking in moonlight bwahaha. He has to use his energy conservatively during the day or he may run out. He charges more or less depending on the cycle of the moon as well! I dont really have a power origin for him yet! shall work on it

Oh my fucking god I LOVE cape yuri. Girls in tights kissing? What could be better

UNFORTUNATELY SHE IS NOT DESIGNED YET! I have... very many guys made for my little universe and i would say at least half or more have yet to be designed. But I can tell you a little something about her!

⚠️‼️BODY HORROR WARNING

LADY LIMB (no civilian name) is one of three experiments that make up DR. DEPLORABLE's MENAGERIE of MANGLED MONSTROSITIES

DR. DEPLORABLE (Dr. Heiner Döbereiner) is a one-off villain that gets killed off after The Specialists first encounter him because Hoooly shit fuck this guy. He had three experiments as bodyguards so he could continue his evil science in peace

LADY LIMB is a human centipede-esque worm of torsos, arms and legs that have been stitched together with one head at the very front

DEFACER-MAN i would compare visually to the Rake, but wearing a loin cloth and completely lacking any sort of face. He also has a rot-inducing touch that decomposes organic matter, so stay clear!

KLUDGE, THE EXQUISITE CORPSE is a hulking, 8ish foot tall Frankenstein-like behemoth with immense strength and fortitude!

I mostly take inspo from Silver Age (and earlier) naming conventions!

A large portion of my characters have compound/two part names ending in some variation of Man/Woman/Boy/Girl etc (FOR EXAMPLE: Evolution Man, Cellular Man, Seismic Man, Incino-Woman, Armadillo Girl, Myriad Lad, Ionic Girl, NukeGirl, Megaloman, Nowhere Girl, Modular Man, Non-Newtonian Man, Defacer Man, etc)

Alliteration is also a safe bet (FOR EXAMPLE: Captain Cathode, Mr. Matter, Modern Major, Megaloman, Modular Man, Non-Newtonian Man, Grim Gazer, Daring Darling, Motor Mouth, Dr. Deplorable, Lady Limb, Mad Mollusc)

Rhyming is fun but I only have one off the top of my head (Myriad Lad) but if you can pull of a good one, theyre very memorable

Adjectives or other words that describe your character plus a second word are solid (EXAMPLES: Grim Gazer has fear inducing sight, Cellular Man is a stretcher that specifically has control over his cells, Non-Newtonian Man is also a stretcher but his body acts more like sentient ooblek, Seismic Man causes tremors, Incino-Woman has fire powers, Motor Mouth has verbal telekinesis, etc and so on)

Animals are always solid, even if your hero isnt explicitly animal themed (FOR EXAMPLE: Frigatebird, Cicada, Polecat, Horn Frog, Doberman, Armadillo Girl, Nightjar, Porcupine O'Malley, Boomslang, Sidewinder, Mad Mollusc, Jackdaw, Dogfish, Lyrebird)

Colors are always a SOLID choice. I've actually been meaning to make some more color-named heroes, I only have, like, three (Premier Blue, Blue Yonder, Black Dandy)

Single word/non-compound names are fun if you can think of a cool enough word, I don't have a ton of these just because I prefer smushing words together for my names but they're a solid choice if you can find a good one. Adding a "The" to these also helps (FOR EXAMPLE: Providence, Threshold, The Triad, Quarry, Extravaganza, The Denisovan, Psychedelia, The Waysider)

Taking one word and just adding a lil sumthin' to it (Infinitessa is derived from infinitesimal because shes a shrinker, Kinestro is from 'kinetic', Neurothena is neuro+Athena because she's a psychic and also it just sounds plain cool, Moonager is moonage + teenager, Atomancer is from atom obviously)

Sometimes i just copy Marvel or DCs homework a little (DC has Sinestro and Marvel has Chemistro so I was like. Hey. I want a -stro name. So I made Kinestro.)

SOMETIMES. I just come up with some ridiculous bullshit thats fun (like Kludge, the Exquisite Corpse for my frankensteinian abomination!!!)

Sometimes if I'm really struggling to come up with a name for a themed hero, I'll hop on the wiki page for whatever their theme is and look for a cool sounding word (I hopped on the wiki for radiation and thats how I got Captain Cathode. I looked thru the wiki for lasers and got Threshold)

But I've found thought MOST OF THE TIME, A cool name will come to me and I make a hero surrounding that name

If I think of a name thats already been used, sometimes I'll just add a little something to it (I had a character named Porcupine but that was taken, so I just added a last name to the end and BAM. Porcupine O'Malley.)

BUT. at the end of the day, the Big Two have been around for decades upon decades and have made thousands upon thousands of characters, many of which having been unused for years or only ever had one or two appearances. On top of that, theres dozens of smaller publishers and who KNOWS how many indie creators thatve made their fair share of heroes. Lots of names have been "taken". but for those ultra niche no-ones-ever-heard-of-them characters, youre probably fine if you thought of a cool name just to find out somebody else also thought of it. As long as youre not like "Hey guys this is my new oc, Spider-Man, dont worry about it too much.

Hell, Marvel and DC (and other publishers) rip eachother off all the time. Wonder Woman/ Wonder Man, Power Man / Power Girl, hell I wouldve preferred the world just have two Captain Marvels rather than change Billy to "Shazam" (I will never call him that)! Publishers even have redundant names within their own universe (DC gets to have The Atom, Captain Atom, and Atom-Smasher??? The biggest reason I made Atomancer was to get on that atomic action and that id NOT a goof. And Marvel has about a million Spider-people running around. not name related but why does DC have three guys running around in nearly the same outfit. Booster Gold, Animal Man and Javelin must have the same tailor)
