Jhereg Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I need a name for a techno-mystic villain for an upcoming Champs campaign. He’s intended to be a major recurring menace, filling Dr. Destroyer’s role in my world. He’s probably going to be the ruler of a small Eastern European country, a la Dr. Doom. I’m kinda feeling a name with a modifier like ‘Doctor’ or ‘Count’ or the like. As I have no artistic ability, the pic is a screenshot from COH.

Lord Liaden Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Re: Name My Supervillian! I'm trying to get away from all the obvious honorifics, but keep something with an implication of supremacy. Assuming you want to keep the armor motif from the illo, how about: ALPHA MAIL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Re: Name My Supervillian! I'd go with something more Slavic or Russian in nature. How about... StalKnyaz or "Steel Prince". Make him the leader of a nation the USSR was never able to absorb even at its height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhereg Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Re: Name My Supervillian! Those are some great ones so far. I particularly like the German translations; however, my predilection for German names is already eliciting jokes from my group, so I might have to go Russian, Slavic or Hungarian. Thanks for all the input, fellas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
