Superhero Name Generator: The Conventions of Hero Naming

Superhero names follow recognisable conventions that have evolved over the 80+ year history of the genre. Alliterative names (Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, Matt Murdock, Clark Kent for the civilian identity) were a Stan Lee convention at Marvel, chosen partly as a memory aid. Power-descriptive names (the Flash, Iron Man, the Hulk) communicate abilities immediately. Mythological names (Thor, Hercules) borrow gravitas from existing traditions. Animal names (Spider-Man, Batman, Black Panther) carry symbolic character associations.

The generator applies these conventions algorithmically, combining adjective and noun patterns drawn from the genre vocabulary to produce names that feel authentic to the superhero tradition. Pair with a superpower quiz for a complete character concept.
