And I DO Give a Damn 'bout my Random Generation!
Ever get stumped for good character/nemesis ideas? Ever wish there was a better way? Well, THERE IS! Listen to old Uncle Slice N Dice, little bleeders, for I'll tell you a grand tale. A tale of Random Superhero Generators!
It's as easy as a few mouseclicks and a page refresh! Check out these two sites to start off:
Lee's Useless Super-Hero Generator: I forget where I first found this one, but I've since used it for all sorts of wacky and zany character ideas!
-Turn on the Kewlifier for some "new age" kewl character names! Slice N Dice becomes Slys N Dys! Brought to you by the letters Y, K, Z, X, and E!
-Try seeing what random powers are given to these random heroes!
-Get weapons for these random heroes to wield. Are these weapons named after the heroes? Or are the heroes named after the weapon!?
-Where did they get their powers? Turn on the Marvelizer to see what kind of Mutant they are!
-Need a fancy name for their hoverbike or tank? Have no fear, Transportation Name Generator is Here!
Examples:
Beta Droid
Power(s): Probability alteration, Power mimicry, Super speed
Source of powers: Meditation
Weapon: Droid Thorns
Transportation: Mother Vortex
The winsome Alpha Skarab
Power(s): Time manipulation, Speed reading
Source of powers: Chemical mutant
Transportation: Skarab Paddleboat
They Fight Crime!: A random generator site I just learned about thanks to fellow forum user beezeeze, this one pairs two randomly generated "characters" with the tagline "They Fight Crime!"
Example:
He's a notorious soccer-playing vagrant haunted by an iconic dead American confidante.
She's a provocative junkie lawyer with a birthmark shaped like Liberty's torch.
He's a jaded chivalrous firefighter on the wrong side of the law.
She's a chain-smoking snooty detective with the soul of a mighty warrior.
He's a scarfaced pirate astronaut from the 'hood.
She's an artistic antique-collecting mechanic married to the Mob.
Post some of your generated heroes! And tell us if you have any other favorite Superhero Generators for the rest of us to try out!

It makes sense, if you don't think about it.

It's a blessing for roleplaying or storytelling ideas.

That being said, got some interesting name ideas from the REAL site, like
Keen Marine
Wingsmeister
Wreckervore
and Shatterclast
Also got the supervillain concept "Drug Dealing Cyborg". I rather like that one.
I also love the "History Scrambler" randomizer, as it provides all of Hollywood's upcoming blockbusters before they come out! Great soon-to-be movies like
Harriet Tubman - Pro Wrestler
Nikolai Tesla - Action Hero
Marco Polo - Secret Agent
Queen Victoria - Vigilante
And my personal favorite,
Susan B. Anthony - Anime Magical Girl
Magnificent.

Generic experimented on pet
Generic female magic user(she has too many clothes)
Generic
Non generic phoenix- skeletal bird with ice powers, dying for a hot meal.
MaJor Nuisance- force user and what I refer to force users as.
Cheap Shot- gun toting maniac in skimpy clothes with the comment " if they're staring at my tits, they aren't watching my guns"
Dark Smurfer is literally Smurfer girl with the colours inverted.
all the Smurfers are a cross between smurfs and surfers. blue skin , white pants(and tops in the girls case), blonde hair, sunnies,sandals and some sort of surf TP.
Y.k.y.g.p.w. is when I couldn't think of anything to call her. you know you've got problems when
Splattercast was a force user/PA mix with accuracy problems.
