dialNforNinja Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 I had a Champions Online character whose nominal backstory was being the reverse of the original Tron movie protag, a security program ejected into the material world to be out of the way. Her name was Digital Zoom. My main was Velocirapture. Of course, neither of their power sets really had much to do with speed, since CO treats superspeed as a secondary/utilty effect only related to how you get across the map, but eh. Bottlerocket wasn't nominally a speedster (though by then not moving around via the top running power felt agonizingly slow so I pretty much kept it on everyone) but the name could do as well. More recently I've come to like the idea of using Celerity as a speedster name. The Dash (The Fastest Girl You've Met) was a Flash-expy character (not mine) from the old Superguy mailing list. Her evil AU counterpart was Professor Backslash. Relativity Woman was also from SG, an older heroine who was more famous despite tehcnically being slower, as she could only approach arbitrarily close to lightspeed, not reach it, and suffered from time dilation effects IIRC. Just brainstorming: Tumbleweed Fade Bunny Slipper (possibly a civilian form name) (Bonnie?) Shrike Dart Charger (insert sporty car manufacturer or model here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Bushido Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Weird. Ours wears green pants, too. Though he also wears a white tank top and no mask and what the heck is going on with his head /face / mask thing? Is this a real thing?!

Duke Bushido Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Oh: Our Freight Train: Though he doesn't wear braids. The character designer there doesn't have an option for a low, tight hair cut for people of african ancestry. Quackhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strand Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Supercharger (maybe the hero drives a tricked out car) White Lightning (not sure maybe the hero has a dependence on Moonshine? But wears a white costume to hide the fact he's covered in alcohol?) Bullitt (Her or she really likes Steve McQueen movies?) Ballistic (maybe the hero has anger issues?)

Pariah Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 A couple more I've thought of: Vector Testarossa Blackbird (as in SR-71, for a flying speedster) Celeritas ("Swiftness", it's the 'c' in 'E=mc²') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Stat A common medical abbreviation for urgent or rush. From the Latin word statim, meaning "immediately." I think that could be a good hero ID for speedster hero that works as a paramedic or a healthcare worker. Quackhell and Ninja-Bear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblaze Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) I use "Trailblaze" and in addition to being a speedster the hero also has Pyrokenetic and Pyrogenerative abilities. BTW the image is an edit and I didn't draw the entire thing. Edited April 23, 2022 by Trailblaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Vamanos (Spanish for "Let's Go!") Earlier the name Zephyr was mentioned--that would be a good name for a Golden Age speedster, after one of the fastest trains of its day.

Strand Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I had a DC Heroes character named Boomer. After so many years and people's trip to the Thesaurus. I'm surprised the idea didn't come up. It was a long time ago. Maybe I got it from the video game. "Sonic Boom!" Or I got it from TV where a dog was named Boomer. But it fits for a Speedster.

Duke Bushido Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Just dinished helping one of the kids in the youth group put the finishing touches on her speedster, Starling. I pushed for Hummingbird as she can start out at top speed (extra inches specifically for boosting launch speed) and has a solid 12 skill levels in maneuvring while running (to offset penalties of moving super fast, obviously.) She is not the fastest speedster this group has producws (that honor goes to Kinetica), but she could full-speed an agility course blindfolded! wcw43921 and Ninja-Bear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
