ii. choosing an alias
One of the hardest things to think of is superhero names. Depending on the gift or skill your OC has, you have to think of a suitable name while also not copying another characters name.
1) Synonyms;
Searching your power into Google and looking up synonyms is one way to find a hero name.For example if your hero can manipulate light, search synonyms for the word light. Words like blaze, illuminate & starlight which you could use as a name.
2) Different Languages;
I find putting your power or word that links to your character into a translators is another way of creating names.Finding a word and translating it, so time becomes the hero name chronos. Sunlight becomes Solis.
3) Gods & Goddess;
Another option is to make your OC afters Gods & Goddess. For example Nemesis was the goddess of retribution. Finding a trait you could name your OC after a God that shares that.Examples:
Nemesis - Retribution
Athena - Wisdom
Artemis - Hunt
Ares - War
Zeus - Sky
Poseidon - Sea
Apollo - Archery
etc. . .
4) Random Words
I know this might be a stupid one, but I find random words can be used as superhero names. In my plot shop I have named OC after random words like nemesis, chaos & neon.So here are some words you could use:
| nemesis | destroyer | solis | blaze | shatter | void | indignation | wrath | chaos | nova | mercy | grace | cyber | tempest | volts | iris | blade | twilight | ghost | demon | saturn | venus | avalanche | charge | illuminate | rush | burn | verity | concept |
etc. . .
I hope this was useful!
