The Arc Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I recently had an idea for a group of heroes from New Orleans. The group consists of: Kid Creole (who's an homage to Robin), Tempest (who can control the weather), Buccaneer (a brick from another galaxy, marooned on Earth), Jazz (who has sonic powers), and Voodoo Queen (a mystic, natch). However, try as I might I can't come up with a cool name that evokes the Big Easy. Any thoughts? BTW-I've never been to Louisana, let alone New Oreleans. All my knowledge comes from James Lee Burke's novels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novi Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Re: Help name my Hero Group I don't know much either. Maybe they have a tie in with the Saints(football)? New Orleans is also called 'The Crescent City', which might be an inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Re: Help name my Hero Group I like the Big Easy, or Crescent City Crusaders as well If the team is popular those would work. If the team is unpopular...the Levy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epiphanis Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Re: Help name my Hero Group How about "Delta V"? See, its a word play on a physics term (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v), but it could also refer to the Mississippi Delta and the roman numeral "V", since there are five of you.

Barton Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Re: Help name my Hero Group If they are considered screw ups by the locals: New Orleans Irregulars. I had the newspapers in Chicago in my Champions game give the group the name Chicago Irregulars because they were the "B" team and considered screw ups. The team eventually moved to Orlando, FL and the locals love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arc Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Re: Help name my Hero Group Yeah, but Delta V sounds like some hockey move. Although I'm kind of like the sound of Delta Blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arc Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Re: Help name my Hero Group I've started work on Buccaneer's pirate space ship, and thought I'd ask if anyone has a decent one designed.
