superhero names
The generator rolls among 5 differently weighted styles: 30% power plus archetype, 25% alliterative, 20% compound, 15% "The X" title and 10% villain, each style drawing from its own word banks, and the villain vocabulary never crosses over into any of the 4 hero-facing styles even when a result happens to sound similar.
"Star" is one of 95 power words and "Shield" one of 83 archetypes, the combination carrying the heaviest weight in the "all styles" roll, a 30% chance of being picked.
"Phantom" comes from the 56-entry title list, and "Phoenix" is pulled from the dedicated "P" second-word list (6 options, including Panther, Predator and Punisher), never from any other letter's list.
"Soul" is one of 46 dark prefixes and "Nightmare" one of 122 second words, both from banks exclusive to this style, which carries only a 10% weight in the "all styles" roll.
Yes, as long as the specific name isn't trademarked by publishers. Generated names are original and free of intellectual properties.
It rolls one of 56 titles and uses its first letter to filter a second-word list specific to that letter, for example "P" has 6 options (Panther, Phantom, Phoenix, Predator, Prowler, Punisher) and "S" has 20, the largest list of all. If the rolled letter has no dedicated list (like X or Z, with very few entries), the generator falls back to the full combined list across every letter.
The power style always has a space between the two words and draws from fixed banks of 95 power words and 83 archetypes ("Solar Striker"); the compound style fuses both halves into one word with no space, from different banks sized 92 and 100 ("Laserdevourer"). Neither bank overlaps with the other.
It is always a single name: the 87-entry epithet list ("Invincible", "Juggernaut", "Omni-Force") already comes complete, and the generator only prefixes "The" in front of it, with no roll or combination beyond that, the simplest of the 5 styles.
Yes: instead of the "all styles" theme (which gives the villain style only a 10% chance), select the "villain" theme directly, and every name will draw from the exclusive banks of 46 dark prefixes and 122 second words, never dropping into a hero-facing name from the other 4 styles.
