SCUBA Hero Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hello Herodom! I'm working on a four-color superhero.This is a 5e game, and I'm going with a teleporting energy projector. He's going to be Tacyon's (from 5e Champions) superhero counterpart - Rob Bleskind, but a hero instead of a villain, and a different power set (teleporting energy projector). So I want him to be a professor at Millenium City University, teaching / studying some field that would get him involved with the kelvarite meteor from space. Astrogeology, maybe? Anyhow, something space related. I'm having trouble coming up with a cool space-related name for the character. Ideally, it would have some tie-in with the name 'Tachyon' as well. Any suggestions?

BlueCloud2k2 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Re: Need Superhero Name Nutrino, The Human Boson, Quark, Quantum, Dr. Who ... why don't we just forget I said that last one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGreenwade Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Re: Need Superhero Name Since the scientific term for teleporting is "quantum tunneling," I'd support Quantum as a name. If you haven't already, I'd suggest posting this in the Champions forum for more responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUBA Hero Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Re: Need Superhero Name I haven't posted in the Champions forum, as I judge that most of the space-fu savvy posters will see it here. So far, Blue Shift looks good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Democracy Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Re: Need Superhero Name Thought I'd do some reading round the subject and came across the following " no tachyon detection has so far been confirmed. The same is true of another hypothetical faster-than-light particle called a dybbuk (Hebrew for a "roving spirit"), " So how about Dybbuk? Roving Spirit seems to fit the power set, it has the tachyon connection, and could Bleskind be some kind of anglisiced jewish surname?

SCUBA Hero Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Re: Need Superhero Name I want to stay away from Quantum, simply because of that name on the 5e Champions team. Dybbuk is interesting... Thanks for all the suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DusterBoy Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Re: Need Superhero Name Trust me on this: if the PC is a university professor and has a life outside of that, he'll have no time for superheroics. My dad's a professor and he's always working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
