Tap for a fresh identity, re-roll through powers and archetypes, and find the name that fits your character. It's free, instant, and needs no sign-up, and every alias can be copied, shared, or saved as a card.
Use the mode toggle to swing between noble heroes and menacing villains, and steer the results toward your character's powers and personality — cosmic, elemental, tech, shadow, or brute. A strong hero name captures what the character stands for; a great villain name drips with menace. Building a whole roster of identities?

Superhero Name Generator — FAQ
What's my superhero name?
Tap the generator and it'll create one instantly, then keep re-rolling for more. Point it toward your character's powers, personality, or origin to get names that fit — like a fire-powered hero landing something blazing or a shadow character getting something darker.
How do I create a superhero name?
Start from the character's core — their power, their theme, or the emotion they evoke — then pair evocative words that fit. Heroes often get aspirational or elemental names; villains get menacing, memorable ones. Generate a batch, shortlist the ones that match your character's essence, and refine from there.
Can I use these names?
Yes — they're free to use in your stories, comics, games, and tabletop campaigns as inspiration. If you're publishing commercially, it's smart to search a name you love to make sure it isn't already a well-known trademarked character.
Hero name or villain name?
Both — the generator has a mode for each. Heroes tend toward noble, powerful, or elemental names, while villains lean into menace, mystery, and intimidation. Switch modes to build both sides of your rivalry.
