Are these names from any comic, movie, or game?

No. The names are original, built from short themed adjective and noun lists, not pulled from any comic, film, or game. They are safe to use in your own story, project, or campaign.

What does the "Include alter ego" option add?

When enabled, the generator adds a secret identity, a plain first and last name, under the hero name, similar to how comic heroes have a civilian name behind the costume.

What does the "Include power" option add?

When enabled, the generator adds a one-line signature power tag, such as "Power: Kinetic Force Manipulation," matched loosely to the chosen theme.

What is the difference between the themes?

Theme controls the word lists the generator draws from: Cosmic leans on stars and space, Elemental on fire, ice, and storms, Tech on circuits and energy, Mystic on arcane and shadow magic, Beast on predatory animals, and Shadow on night and stealth. Pick "Any" to mix themes across a batch.

Can I generate more than one name at a time?

Yes. Set the count field to any value from 1 to 20 and click Generate to produce that many names in one batch.

Does this tool store or send my generated names anywhere?

No. Every name is generated in your browser with no network request, and nothing is saved once you leave the page.
