Dr. MID-Nite Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Here's the concept: 1) He's a doctor.... 2) He has inate powers of healing and regeneration. 3) Uses gadgets(of a nonlethal nature) to help fight crime. Ideas? Everything I think of seems too cheesy...so I beg Herodom assembled for aid. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeropoint Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Re: Need a name for a hero... Apollo (god of physicians, IIRC) Panacea Booster (as in "booster shot") Painkiller (interesting how these beneficial compounds contain "pain" and "kill" in the name!) Lancet Cadaceus Angel of Mercy The Human Hit Point Battery (well, that's GOT to cheesier than what you've got) Bones (from the old nickname for doctors: "sawbones". Plus, you get automatic dibs on announcing, "He's dead, [team leader].") I'd better stop before I start suggesting things like "White Mage."

Darth Continent Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Re: Need a name for a hero... You yourself have a fine name, Darth Continent Thanks It was my old theforce.net name before the truth that Lucas had gone insane in a Hal Jordan-turned-Parallax kinda way and needed to be destroyed finally sunk in (for reference, sometime shortly after realizing he wasn't kidding about the midichlorians). I'm still working on the "needed to be destroyed" bit, but I'm happy to finally dust the name off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
