Rules For Choosing A Superhero Name

"Rules For Choosing A Superhero Name"

  Don't call yourself by your real name: e.g., The
Incredible Jenny Pinchuck, The Amazing Stevie
Foster.

  Don't call yourself by someone else's real name:
e.g., Super Teddy Kennedy, Captain Dean Martin.

Choose a name that suggests power, heroism
and prowess: e.g., Captain Power, Thunderman,
Mr. Invincible, Justiceman.

Don't be too modest: e.g., Mr. Pretty Good, Captain
So-so, Fairly Incredibleman, Captian Invincible on
a good day.

But don't labor the point: e.g., Mr. So-Powerful-
Don't-Even-Think-About-It-Buddy.

Don't choose a name detrimental to your crime
fighting image: e.g.,Captain Spongecake, Mr. Silly,
Yellow Streak, Purple Slippers, Captain Sweetiepie.

Don't choose the name of an existing Superhero
unless you have lots of money and enjoy fighting
litigation instead of supervillains.

It's no use calling yourself Captain Invincible if your
only power is control over Hostess Twinkies and
you suffer from a congenial hole-in-the-heart
condition. It's just asking for trouble.

Don't call yourself the Invisible Boy if you're not.

Don't call yourself the Invisible Boy if you're a girl.

Don't give away important information in your
name, e.g. The Glass Jaw, Captain Vulnerable
To Strontium 90.

Don't call yourself The Green Avenger if you wear
an orange costume. You'll confuse people.
