The Swinger

 

Doc Groovy

 

Skinner

 

Why is he a Hero? We know what he did (made an exo-suit that shoots goo); why is he using it to fight crime? Knowing his motivation could lead to any number of good names, from Myth or Literature names if he's emulating a favorite character (Prometheus, Caliban, Prospero, Morpheus) to nouns and nouned verbs and adjectives if he sees himself as embodying something (Vengeance, Vindicator, Brother Night, The Darkness).

Re: Help with a name

 

The background story is kind of generic:

 

Scientist working on studing superhuman powers, has always been fasinated with the super community. Goverment contract wanted him to develop some kind of superhuman soldier, thus the suit. Viper attacks, he escapes with the suit, uses it to fight back

Re: Help with a name

 

The suit sounds like a variation of the Dune second skin. Shai Hulud, if your nerd's into sf.

 

Though as he's fascinated by the super community, he might go the SHAZAM route: an initial letter from the names of the supers he most admires.

 

E.G. Seeker, Marksman, Obsidian, Rose, Quantum ... SMORQ? Well, maybe not, but you get the idea. ;)

Observer, Scholar, the Empirical Man, Daedalus, Mongoose (give a smile to long time Champions players in your group), Skinjob, Mister 1138 (the project code number), the Fan.

 

Or ask the player to come up with a clearer motivation.

While he is, I have never read Dune, please fill me in on these suits
