    Need some name suggestions please

    I'm usually pretty good with names, but for some reason this one is stumping me.

    It's for a team of villians made up of

    Cremator - a walking inferno

    Binder - a high tech power armor type with entangles

    Threshold - a teleporter/dimensional traveller

    Agent 72 - A TK Bullet thrower assassin

    Blockbuster - a living pool of concrete that is nearly indestructable and incredibly strong

    Alexander Hammer - Their leader, a powerful businessman and psychic

    They are really the first super villains in this world and have come into the public eye at about the same time as the worlds first heroes. The heroes have formed up into The Guardians.

    Any suggestions on a team name?

    Thanks!

    Something alone the lines of Spider-Man's "Sinister Six" might be kind of cool, if you don't think that's too silly, or plagiaristic... like the "Infernal Six", the "Souless Six", or the "Black Six".

    If you added one more, considering that these are the world's first super-villains, the "Seven Deadly Sins" also has a ring to it.

    I don't know why, but all of my current ideas have a cthonic undertone today.

    Suggested Team Names

    The Crew
    Hammer Inc.
    Wrecking Crew
    The League
    Hardcore

    What is the team known for that may give me a better basis of what to name them? Have they done anything or been associated with anything that might define them? They seem to have a construction motif...

    How about an antonym of guardian, like:

    The Destroyers
    The Annihilators
    The Despoilers
    The Demolishers
    The Devastators
    So that's what an invisible barrier looks like.

    The Malefic (kinda high-brow, kinda vague, kinda sinister - good for a powerful businessman Lex Luthor type)

    or my personal favorite

    Don't ask me why, but after reading everything so far this name came to mind:

    B.A.U. (Business as usual)

    I think it is because something about your choice of names and to a lesser extent the way you describe them, they seem very unflappable.

    Re: Need some name suggestions please

    Since these are the first villains, and are appearing at the same time as the worlds first and only heroes, I'll second using an antonym.

    With a little help from Roget's:

    Annihilators
    Demolishers
    Desolators
    Destroyers
    Devastators
    Devourors
    Dismantlers
    Disruptors
    Eradicators
    Exterminators
    Nullifiers
    Obliterators
    Smashers
