If you could choose your superhero name what would it be?

Midnighter. I love the night and hate the day more than a sparkly vampire. It should be my new Imwan handle.

I think a superhero's name should go along with his powers or some key part of his origin. Spider-Man has powers like a spider, Iron Man wears a metal suit, etc.

I have no powers or origin, so this is tough.

I really like the codename "Storm Shadow" from GI Joe. I like the ominous vibe it puts off.

I like 'Samaritan' or 'Protector'. Something that has a wants-to-help-and-do-good vibe.

I rather like the Norse "Einheri," eternal warrior, gets up after each battle to fight anew.

My reasoning behind Lue Lyron is similar.

Granted, people wouldn't know why it is that to me, but there is a story, all right.

For now, I would borrow, in English, my creation Sun Strike's name.

I need a really great picture of him drawn; I have a design but I have to think how
super heroes are drawn. You have your stately Buscema, your quirky Ditko,
your apex-of-action Kirby figures, your "moment before the action" Steranko approach...
it's so different than drawing real folk.

Sun Strike, hmmm. I had a character called Sun Stroke. Armored, flaming sword.

Oh, cool, a sword stroke/ heat exhaustion double entendre. Clever!

My Mom is Country Gal. My sister is Teaseberry.

I also like Sylvane, the name of my mossy extra-dimensional occultist. Not as over the top as some others I also like!

"Matter Eater Lad" - most of the food I eat is, in fact, made up of matter. Some of my Dad's cooking, though, may be composed of anti-matter, or some other form of unidentified matter that even Stephen Hawking doesn't know about yet.
