r/Superhero_Ideas

I am currently trying to design some superhero and supervillain costumes for my OCs, so what would be your top tips for designing them? I haven't done this before, so I would like to hear some design strategies.

I’ve been trying to think of a name for a shapeshifter type character that can replicate a person’s character down to DNA and power (Like mystique and Amazo combined). The characters identity in society is Edna Teritie (Eternity is their true name.) they wear inhibitor cuffs as to not go overboard and loose themselves in the insanity that comes with their power. I’m thinking that their power/ species is named true replicant.

A backstory for them is this: A figure made of pure mass, ever shifting, burst from the void and is helped by a god to find either where the figure starts to form an identity, a purpose, and a life. But that peace is short lived with death coming to the people around them, and not them. They watch time and time again as the world moves and things pass on. They keep trying, keep believing that one day they will find someone like them. But even the universe has cruel irony. They keep hoping-from universe to universe, gaining identity but also weakness. The inhibitors they wear is not a sign of just being powerful. But being emotional and prone to lashing out in times of stress. They have killed before. They still keep going and maybe one day the gods will help them find their way back to the friends they lost.

I want an Ironic name for this character, something completely opposite of what they are supposed to be. Can anyone give me suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it.

A man becomes so sick of people abusing their anonymity online to dox innocent people, send death threats, harass them, and ruin their lives that he develops powerful hacking abilities for the express purpose of tracking these people down. Once he identifies someone who has been using an anonymous account to seriously harass or threaten another person, he goes to their real-world location, beats the snot out of them, destroys the computer or other devices they used to carry out the harassment, records the entire confrontation, and then uploads the footage directly onto the perpetrator's own anonymous account for everyone who follows them to see.

See when September comes around I’m going to start writing new a superhero team show and most of the characters got figured out all but one

Beast Keeper (I would also like better name ideas than that)

background: she’s a Zoo keeper in her day job (kind where we first see her)

powers (one of my issues): she can use animal skills (like claws, and agility )

personality: (I haven’t figured one out yet)

my problem is the powers seem like a rip off of Vixen (a cool Dc character I don’t want to rip off)

so can I have ideas to improve her? (also I won’t scrap her, her Nemesis I made the Huntsmen is too cool of an idea)

So, without showing you a picture of my marvel OC, I'd like your opinion on name ideas by his description. What better way to name a superhero than to let the community and newspeople come up with something to call the unnamed vigilante?

His superpowers consist of tranquilization, night vision, enhanced senses, and enhanced strength. He functions mostly at night.

His appearance and identity are unknown, but strands of dirty blonde hair have been found torn out of the awful pinchy goggles in his mask.

Help give this vigil a good name for the headline!

Richmond Masters,the genius wealthy owner of the tech and weapons manufacturing company, Masters Manufacturing. Ever since he inherited the company from his late father, Richmond watched as the company slowly went downhill, in favor of the other major tech companies that grew popular largely to their involvement with superheroes. Having grown tired of watching superheroes and major corporations receive all the fame and influence, he enacted a plan. Instead of competing with them, he decided to try and take them out the equation entirely. He secretly creates his supervillain alter ego, **Armor Master,**and then recruits six supervillains to form the Anarchy Assembly.

Together, they commit acts of terrorism against corporations, other major targets, and battling heroes while carefully manipulating each incident so that Richmond and Masters Manufacturing can appear as the ones cleaning up the mess afterwards. His ultimate goal is to make the public lose faith in superheroes and frame himself and his company as the true saviors

Armor Master
Real Name: Richmond Masters

Richmond Masters is the leader and primary sponsor
of the Anarchy Assembly. Obsessed with getting into the limelight and being praised as heroes, Richmond created powerful suits of armor capable of going blow-for-blow with heavy hitters and became the supervillain terrorist known as Armor Master. Richmond uses the destruction they cause to make himself and Masters Manufacturing look like the people actually saving the day. He has a suit of armor for almost every occasion, for every hero, and also produces most of the Assembly's weaponry, tech, and the team's luxury headquarters, The Armory.

Uncle Sam
Real Name: Walter Samson

Walter is a retired middle-aged military veteran who was one of Richmond’s late father's most trusted bodyguard. Richmond recruited Walter after promising him experimental super-soldier serum that could remove his chronic pain and allow him to continue what he loves to do. The serum worked and gives him enhanced strength, speed, endurance, and healing while significantly slowing his aging, but its effects aren’t permanent, leaving Walter dependent on regular doses to maintain his abilities. Due to this, he is unable to leave the team or betray Richmond no matter how arrogant and unbearable the spoiled brat may be. As the super soldier known as Uncle Sam, he carries an entire arsenal of military grade weaponry while wearing tactical armor cladded in the stars, stripes, and the red, white, and blue. Walter is disciplined, professional, and willing to kill, making him one of the most dangerous members of the Assembly. He is a nationalist, a patriot, and has some very "conservative," "traditionalist," and uh..."old fashioned" views about how America should be.

Thunderer
Real Name: Darion Zeno

Darion is a demigod son of Zeus and a member of the Pantheon, a group comprised of fellow Greek demigods waiting for their godly parents to return and wage war against humanity. Unlike the other members, Darion isn’t exclusively part of the Assembly, but enjoys working with Richmond because the wealthy businessman is more than willing to give him whatever he wants. Darion possesses immense divine strength, durability, and lightning manipulation, which he channels through an heavy duty chain mace provided by Richmond. He is arrogant, full of himself, and considers himself far above the rest of the Assembly and makes sure everyone knows it. Richmond and the other members can't do much about it though, for he is arguably one of the most powerful members of the team.

Meltdown
Real Name: Mark Meitner

Mark was physics professor that was caught in the infamous Disco Girl Disaster. An incident where the former hero Disco Girl, now villain Atomica, accidentally caused a radioactive explosion that killed so mant variants and Mark’s family. Although Mark wasn’t a Variant, he possessed dormant variant cells in his body due to his ancestry. The explosion awakened these dormant cells while also triggering a process called deviation, causing his variant cells to mutate and adapt to the radiation, turning his body into a living reactor that feeds off of radiation. Given the nickname Meltdown by the media, Mark transforms into a massive neon-orange radioactive monster whose strength and size increases with radiation exposure, while his mind and mental clarity decreases making him emotionally unstable. Not only that, but the more radiation he absorbs, the more heat and radiation he emits basically making him a walking rampaging Chernobyl. Mark never wanted to become a weapon, but Richmond promised his humanity back by giving him an inhibitor that suppresses his variant cells, making him human until Richmond needs the beast, where the inhibitor can also act as trigger by emitting immense amounts of radiation directly to Mark's body. Richmond also implanted a chip in Mark's brain, giving him some control over Mark's actions even in his Meltdown state.

Sparrow
Real Name: Iris Hughes

Iris is the daughter of a hero of mine called Sightline and inherited his variant ability of incredible eyesight, including telescopic and night vision. She has no other physical enhancements, meaning that everything else she is capable of comes from years of training with her father, a former agent for MI6, or the British Secret Intelligence Service. Inspired by stories of she read growing up Robin Hood, Iris rejected her authority, her father’s path, and became a cat burglar who steals from the rich and powerful and gives to the poor. She uses a bow because it is less lethal than her father’s signature rifle, though she has no absolute rule against killing. She joins the Assembly because the pay is good and Richmond supplies her with a free arsenal of trick arrows. She also gets to attack and steal from major companies while also feeling like she's exploiting Richmond and his company, so it's a win-win situation for her. She remains a consistent and surprisingly loyal member of the team despite being arguably the most morally gray out of all of them. Aside from an expert markswoman, she is also a highly skilled fighter and acrobat.

Mistress Midnight
Real Name: Layla Haddad

Layla is the middle child of three supervillain siblings, meaning trickery and evil runs in her blood. Her older brother Relic** steals magical artifacts because he was born without mystical powers, while her younger brother Merchant **is a magical con artist who sells fake artifacts while secretly hoarding the real ones. Layla is the strongest natural mystic of the three and doesn’t need artifacts to amplify her abilities. She spent years using her magic as a fraudulent fortune teller, con artist, illusionist, and psychic before becoming Mistress Midnight. She uses illusions, spells, and magical deception to assist the Assembly on their fights and missions. At times, she can also act the team's infiltrator for she is also an expert in espionage and seduction. She loves jewelry, wealth, and expensive possessions, making Richmond’s money more than enough reason for her to stay, and also because she and Richmond are romantically and sexually involved with each other.

Servitor
Real Name: V-1510 / "Servo"

Servitor is an artificially intelligent android created by Richmond using technology salvaged from the LAG Invasion. Built to be the team's personal servant and weapon, Servitor possesses immense strength, flight, energy projection, invisibility, advanced intelligence, and the ability to interface with technology. He can also project intangible and tangible energy duplicates of himself to scout and interact with the world remotely. Unlike the other members, Servitor has no ambitions or personal agenda. His programming makes him completely loyal to Richmond, making him arguably the most dependable member of the Assembly. He acts as the team's servant and caretaker of The Armory. Despite being entirely artificial, he sort of acts as the team's heart for he is the only one that is genuinely on good terms with everyone on the team.

If you couldn't tell, the Avengers line-up I parodied was this one:

Ironman
Captain America
Thor
Hulk
Hawkeye
Scarlet Witch
Vision

So yeah, that's the **Anarchy Assembly**, my twisted satyrical take on an evil Avengers team.

Tell me what you think about em! I'd love to know your thoughts and opinions :))

Is he a villain like Kang uses time tech or does he have time powers? Im going to have a villain with time powers because I think time traveling tech is ok but kinda stupid when you can give them powers instead. So its not really a villain based off kang. It's more a villain based of eon from ben 10 ultimate alien. Also ill never have a villain with time tech. (Most likely but low chance if I do change my mind abd do a lang kinda villain instead)
