What are some good superhero names?
You're going to have to come up with your own names if you're going to be a writer -- asking other people to name your characters always ends up with you not liking the names and the people getting their feelings hurt because you don't like their ideas.
The way to come up with a superhero name is to start writing down everything you think about when you think about their super power. For example, if your character can change his skin into iron, you might list hard, metal, ferrous, impermeable, impenetrable, shield, and so forth -- make a long list of everything that comes to mind.
Now, start combining terms to come up with a superhero name. Sticking with the same example from above, you might name that hero Captain Iron or The Shield. Pick a name you like instead of one that I do.
Depends on the superhero. A nuclear powered superhero could be called Nuclear man.
It depends on either you hero's theme or powers. Below are some examples:
Sun based powers- Helios/Apollo/Solar
Superhuman strong and big- Goliath
Super fast- Blur/Speed Demon/Trail(okay kinda bad)
emotion based- Empath/ Venus/ Aphrodite.
You want Mis- appear. Now you see her now you don't.
