RickMcc Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 I am looking for a name of a character. He is a brick with shrinking (5") and growth (7M). I can't use Sentinel as it is already taken. Anyone have any ideas for a name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 I'm in an infrequent tabletop game with a size changer who goes by Vertical. I had a growing brick named Watchtower If you want something like Sentinel, then Sentry might do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcc Posted September 1 Author Report Share Posted September 1 I appreciate the input. Here is mu working list right now. I will add Sentry to it: Corsair Vindicator Orion Titan Atlas Paragon Impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 Mutatio is Latin for change. That would cover both shrinking and growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Teriaca Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 I'm kinda late for the party. But... Minimax. Resize. Titano. Silver (who says a superhero needs to have a name which has to do with there powers?_). Cygnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich McGee Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 My last full-spectrum size-changer was named Jumbo Shrimp. You're welcome to borrow that one if you like. Less tongue-in-cheek options include: Vantage Magnitude (with optional "Man" or "Master" for a slight retro feel) Major Minor Mini-Mammoth Little Big Man Quackhell and Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use Arm-Fall-Off-Boy as an example, but they ruined the character by re-naming him Splitter at some point. Still waiting for a crossover team-up issue where he and the alien android Captain Marvel with the same schtick fight The Detachable Kid from before his Suicide Squad movie days.

Doc Democracy Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 I might consider the name Collapsor, and have the base form be the giant form and getting down to normal size is just part of the way to going right down to the tiny size. All depends on what you want your character to default to if powers are switched off. I am taking inspiration from Colossal Boy from the 2004 reboot of the Legion of Superheroes. In the 2004 reboot, the character came from a race of giants and his superpower was to shrink to 6 feet tall and therefore wanted to be called MicroLad.

unclevlad Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Vague to most...Red Star. Because there's red dwarf stars...LOTS...and red giant and supergiant stars, that include many of the most noteworthy stars. I'll grant that if there's still some Cold War political carryover, Red Star will seem a tad Communist. But hey, one can get a tad more obscure, and pick one of the red giants...Arcturus would be my choice. Tiny from Earth, huge in fact. Antares is also cool, but that's more associated with Greek myth. Another angle would be to pick a name focusing on the giant size...that's the one that makes the massive impression (pun intended), whereas the shrinking side's the tricky, sneaky aspect.

Steve Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 I like Major Minor for some reason. Maybe because it sounds like something out of the Silver Age. Doc Democracy and Rich McGee 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was riffing on Major Major Major Major. Catch-22 came out in what, 1961? That's definitely Silver Age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Teriaca Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 (edited) Who says this character needs to have ONE identity. Since he can grow big AND grow small, it might make sense to give him two costumed identities. So may I introduce.. Mister Big, the mob boss who grows... ...and the Tiny Terror, Mister Big's small but brutal enforcer. And nobody knows they are one and the same.
