I am looking for a name of a character. He is a brick with shrinking (5") and growth (7M). I can't use Sentinel as it is already taken. Anyone have any ideas for a name?

I'm in an infrequent tabletop game with a size changer who goes by Vertical.

 

I had a growing brick named Watchtower

 

If you want something like Sentinel, then Sentry might do.

I appreciate the input. Here is mu working list right now. I will add Sentry to it:

Corsair
Vindicator
Orion
Titan
Atlas
Paragon
Impact

 

Mutatio is Latin for change.  That would cover both shrinking and growth. 

Excellent! thank you

I'm kinda late for the party. But...

 

Minimax.

Resize.

Titano.

Silver (who says a superhero needs to have a name which has to do with there powers?_).

My last full-spectrum size-changer was named Jumbo Shrimp.  You're welcome to borrow that one if you like.

 

Less tongue-in-cheek options include:

 

Vantage

Magnitude (with optional "Man" or "Master" for a slight retro feel)

Major Minor

Mini-Mammoth

Little Big Man

 

Is there a specific tone in the game you (or your GM) want to have before I go silly or too EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMEEEEEEEEE?

Their mottoes are:
Big things come in small packages.

Small things come in big packages.

Matter-Eater Lad?

 

I used to use Arm-Fall-Off-Boy as an example, but they ruined the character by re-naming him Splitter at some point.  Still waiting for a crossover team-up issue where he and the alien android Captain Marvel with the same schtick fight The Detachable Kid from before his Suicide Squad movie days.  

I might consider the name Collapsor, and have the base form be the giant form and getting down to normal size is just part of the way to going right down to the tiny size.  All depends on what you want your character to default to if powers are switched off.

 

I am taking inspiration from Colossal Boy from the 2004 reboot of the Legion of Superheroes.  In the 2004 reboot, the character came from a race of giants and his superpower was to shrink to 6 feet tall and therefore wanted to be called MicroLad.

Vague to most...Red Star.  Because there's red dwarf stars...LOTS...and red giant and supergiant stars, that include many of the most noteworthy stars.  I'll grant that if there's still some Cold War political carryover, Red Star will seem a tad Communist.

 

But hey, one can get a tad more obscure, and pick one of the red giants...Arcturus would be my choice.  Tiny from Earth, huge in fact.  Antares is also cool, but that's more associated with Greek myth.

 

Another angle would be to pick a name focusing on the giant size...that's the one that makes the massive impression (pun intended), whereas the shrinking side's the tricky, sneaky aspect.

I like Major Minor for some reason. Maybe because it sounds like something out of the Silver Age.

I was riffing on Major Major Major Major.  Catch-22 came out in what, 1961?  That's definitely Silver Age. 

Who says this character needs to have ONE identity. Since he can grow big AND grow small, it might make sense to give him two costumed identities. So may I introduce.. 

 

Mister Big, the mob boss who grows...

...and the Tiny Terror, Mister Big's small but brutal enforcer.

 

And nobody knows they are one and the same.

Well, the agents and hero's don't have to know about that.

Not the reason for it.  It won't be convenient, often enough, to switch costumes/outfits  between forms.

If he is a villain, then points don't matter.

The Mighty Oak (as an inside joke his teammates refer to his micro form as the Little Acorn)

Molehill?  Bonus if he has Tunneling, of course.
