Superhero Name Generator
Every hero needs a codename. This free generator dreams up bold superhero (and supervillain) alter-egos — the kind that sound great in a dramatic reveal.
Generate until one feels powerful, then copy it. Add a power or colour above (like 'fire' or 'shadow') to shape the name, or leave it blank for inspiration.
Add your name or an interest to weave it into the ideas, or leave it blank for random names.
The AI uses this to match your niche, search terms and a brandable domain — and recommends its top 3 with reasons. The free button above always works with no limits.

Tips for a name that sticks
Say it like a reveal
Imagine the name announced as the hero steps from the shadows. The ones that sound dramatic out loud are the ones worth keeping.
Let the name hint at the power
A name like 'Blazing Comet' or 'Frost Warden' tells people what the character does before they see it in action. Match the words to the ability.
A title adds instant authority
Leading with 'Captain', 'Doctor' or 'The' turns a plain word into a persona. Use it for leaders and big bads; skip it for street-level heroes.
