    Bring back Project 3000 (maybe 6000)

    Who saved all those wonderful names from Project 3,000?

    Glad you like it. I'm still willing to maintain the list, including periodic roundups, if people want to start throwing in more name ideas.

    Incidentally, you can add Agent X to the list.

    Dynamo, perhaps we should (you should) add a foreign language category? I have a bunch of German supervillains with German names and their English translations. Then we could do Japanese, French, etc.

    I bet Worldmaker would love that kind of resource.

    These are my Nazi villains.

    Warning: My German is based on an internet translator so the grammar, and usage for that matter, could be totally off. Blame the internet not me.

    Deutscher Adler (German Eagle)
    Eisen Krieger (Iron Warrior)
    Grauer Geist von Rache (Grey Spirit of Vengeance) My favorite!
    Gepanzerter Meister (Armored Champion)
    Herrverkollkommnung (Mister Perfect)
    Naziritter (Nazi Knight)
    Oberst Deutschland (Colonel Germany)
    Seewolf and the Wolfsatz (Sea Wolf and the Wolf Pack)
    Stahlfury (Steel Fury)
    Starker Mann (Strong Man)
    Sonnelichtstrahl (Sunbeam)
    Ubermann (Over Man)
    Zarathustra

    Here are 3 more to add to the list:

    SCEPTRE (or SCEPTER) the first spelling is not correct, but stands for S olar-C harged, E nergy-P rojecting, T itanium- R einforced E xo-skeleton (a powered-armor guy)

    Silhouette: a shadow manipulating 'porter

    Nightray: grim, dark version of my first Champs character, an energy-projector

    And speaking of Hummers: If you need a war vehicle to drive around town, maybe you need to work on your people skills. - Comedienne Karen Rontowski

    I remembered one more:

    Shieldsman: a Capt America clone (without the Patriot aspect). He was a former gladiator from another dimension.

    There's already a bunch of non-English names in the list. For now, I plan to leave them integrated, but feel free to add as many as you like. When I do the next roundup, I'll count and reconsider.

    What's Worldmaker?

    Tut tut! Off-putting blame to others solves nothing.

    Seriously, good translations are less important than a good sound. Though any fluent (or better yet native) speakers of any of the languages represented in the list are welcome, nay encouraged, to provide corrections.

    Jack Butler of the Global Guardians PBEM. I shadowed their discussions for awhile. Since their PBEM is based on UN Teams I'm sure they would love all the foreign language names they can get.
