Silliest super hero name?

mbauccombaucco Posts: 20 Arc User
edited October 2014 in Champions Online Discussion
I'm sure this has been done before, but it's stuck in my head. What is the silliest superhero name you have ever seen or come up with? I mean, there are lots of xxxBatM4nxx and so forth, but I'm looking for extra silly.

Lord BumpyNuggets of Freem is my offering.

    Golden Age Golden Girl
    Captain Smile E
    Funk Dumplin
    Little Action-Man (all action stars, 1/8th the size)

    I didn't make that up, there was actually a comic book superhero with that name. Guess his powers.

    Yeah, there was a lot of that sort of crap in the Legion of Super Heroes.

    back in ciy of heroes, Troy hickman had ones that were just beautiful bad puns that were 70s music puns, including my favorite, "crystal blue contusion" I have always like (shameless self propmotion) my one steampnk robot "checkov's gundam". my little brother had 2good ones. postradamus, he can see the future but only after it happens. and mobius stripper, a scanitly clad reality bender who is powered by paradoxes and 5 dollar bills.

    Dennis Mallonee, one of the earliest contributors to the Champions PnP publications, ran a PC for his own games called "The Galloping Galooper." Despite the name, the character's demeanor was actually deadly serious. The Galooper received a mention in one of the modules Mallonee wrote for Champions, The Great Supervillain Contest. When Dennis started his own comics company using early Champions characters, GG made a guest appearance.

    The Galloping Galooper used several gimmicks, including his great-grandfather's cavalry sword. If it broke in battle, he just got another one -- his ancestor didn't fight with them, he made them.

    GG floated several rumors about his origin, without stating which was true: that he was rocketed to Earth as an infant from a dying world; that he was the reincarnation of an Egyptian prince; that he was bitten by a radioactive horse.

    For my money, Monkeyman and O'Brien are so on the nose, it's kind of silly.

    Everything Slapperfish ever create is at the top of my silliest superheroes list.

    He even made a movie pre-view.

    Don't Drop The Soap.

    His name strikes terror deep inside criminals, making them clench in fear.

    (He's a level 40 Devastator with the Flanking specialization; he does more dmg from behind.)

    for me it's the typos, you get some absolutely brilliant names;
    Power Suite 2.0- the armour was old but the weapons were upgraded?
    Amazoness,
    Soceressess,
    in fact any of the people who think you add " Ess"to a word to make it the female version.

    MY contribution;
    Major Nuisance
    Captain chat Ban,
    Nobodysaurus - NA dragon.
    The semi-invisible man
    Now I'm going to be watching for them and writing them down. You..

    I've got a few I ran, some of which still exist.

    Fisto The Clown, a bondage themed biker clown, was probably more disturbing than I'd even intended.

    Gangsta Raptor. 'nuff said. I even rewrote "big poppa" for his bio, to be dinosaur themed.

    The Chocolate Hurricane might count, especially since we've got a pack of blaxploitation themed characters called "The Bad Mamma Jammas".
    In game, I am @EvilTaco. Happily killing purple gang members since May 2008.

    The Frank N Forcer (A SWAT team member turned into a "Frankenstein's Monster" style creature)

    And Major Malfunction (A dysfunctional animatronic robot that thinks he's a real soldier)

    Well, it's silly mostly in concept, but there's the mage Dr. Destiny - his real name is Randall W. Destiny, Ph.D.

    There's Happifun Security System X-4, an experimental security droid from Happifun Robotics, a division of Happifun Toys Ltd.

    And of course Spider-Bat, aka multibillionaire Peter Wayne, who was hunting rare spiders in the Amazon when he was bitten by a rabid radioactive bat and became a little confused...

    I have to say that one of the more useful, but odd Legionairres also had a name that was cool, though almost totally meaningless. Sizzle! She's the red girl on the right. Her power required her to absorb energy, then re-discharge it as a form of energy of her choice. Kinda like Bishop(from the Xmen) but she wasn't any stronger or tougher than a normal person and she was totally powerless without an external energy source. Brainiac's best use for her was to absorb the energy of a forcefield, then discharge the energy to blow up the facility protected by the field.

    In theory Sizzle could beat a Kryptonian, if she catches them by surprise. She could probably learn to take random energy sources(such as heat vision) and discharge it as Kryptonite radiation.

    Say what you will about my costuming ability, but I really really suck at creating names. Here's some really bad ones:
    • Dr. Voltsz, who is a German electrical physicist who's actual surname is voltsz.
    • Quarterlife, who was named such by wardens because she was so radioactively volatile that she did not have a half life, but a quarter life, SO WE MUST OBSERVE WITH HASTY
    • The Secretary, which is the most original concept and name for a succubus ever who previously worked alongside satan until some crap went down.
    • Kickstarter, who is just some girl who kicks people a whole bunch and is a whitebelt under Redsnake despite being level 40.
    • Baeliph, a Demon Guard who works with The Secretary; a Bael Bailiff.
    • Blate Ant, the super-strength man with a shrink ray and an Ant motif on his outfit. I really am going to have to remember to respec him into Stealth to make his name even more appropriate/ironic.
    • Men-torr: Ok seriously when I made this dude I completely blanked on what the heck to name him, so I just took the name of like one of the main characters from Freedom Force and added a dash. Colors aside he actually also kind of looks like Mentor.
    • Alkaline Aegis - It's not a bad name, but for an Electric Tank who's in powered armor, I really should've named him Surge Protector.

    Well, for the most part, a lot of my characters are more 'goofy' than anything else. I guess I generally make characters based on somewhat humorous concepts than serious ones.

    Mime and Punishment- a Mime that uses Force Powers, as well as PFF. He's trapped you in an invisible box... hit the Z button to break free!

    Beta Ray Clinton- Because 'Beta Ray Bill Clinton' wasn't allowed (couldn't have 'Beta Ray' and 'Bill' next to each other, even with 'Clinton' at the end. Didn't work with 'Cosby' either).

    Mighty Mite- a genetically engineered Dust Mite that has grown super-strong. He wears boxing gloves and punches people. So... yeah.

    Mind Funk- Actually a Nemesis of mine, he's a diminutive purple alien that really likes Disco. Also, he's a mentalist.

    The Dutchess of Douchebaggery- Another Nemesis of mine, and a rather creative way to circumvent CO's censoring system! 'Douchebag' is censored, but 'Douchebaggery' isn't! Huzzah!

    Suk Mao Dong- Chinese Gang Boss and Nemesis, Suk Mao Dong is a cocky master of the arcane! Also, he's a schmuck.

    There are others, but they're not worth mentioning... yet! Always save some for later, eh?


    (NOTE: There's one I wanted to add, but the forums censored it! Woops!)
    It makes sense, if you don't think about it.

    And one of the little-known fact about Suk is that he's not really Chinese - he just happens to look a lot like his maternal grandfather. He's actually third-generation American, with a Caucasian father; his real name is Richard Head.

    And if CO had a sonic blast power set, you'd totally use it, right? :biggrin:

    I didn't like the CoH sonic set, but when I tried it out, the toon was a cowboy-hat wearing lawman named Marshal Stack:

    Red-Breasted Nuthatch.

    I don't have a picture, because my jaw dropped when I spotted it, and it flitted away before I could think to tap my [Print Screen] button. A mostly white, blue and yellow lady-bird thing all reduced to the tiniest size in the game with a splash of bright red right where you would expect from the name.

    Less a silly name and more of a silly costume for the proper name of a bird species.
