Help me name this character
🕑 Added 2020-02-21 19:17:37 +0000 UTCI'm working on a new EiAD storyline, and I'm struggling to come up with a name for a character. The superhero on the left is Miss Starr. In the opening scene, she's thwarting an older male villain (who appears on the left).
Does anyone want to offer a name?

Maybe "The Stand-up Philosopher"? A bit of an obscure reference though.
Dave Crowley
I like Mr. and Miss Styry (kinda like mystery
Mr. Nobody
He looks vaguely like The Comedian from "Watchmen." Maybe 'The Monologist'...
Kurt Hanna
Tying this to a previous suggestion, where he has a fair amount of strategic acumen, perhaps "General Tactix"
Jere
the Grey Tiger , Mr V for Viagra
Ed Smallwood
Which left? The left left, or the other left?
douglas dean whiddon
The Stache. In honor of his Mustache.
Grey Wolf
Christopher Agnew
How about "The Silver Fox" as a reference to his ability to seduce as an older gentleman and that his target is always silver items to steal.
Ernie Dude
"Hard Corps" (Hardcore but like Marine Corps). Failing that, I'll go for the pun with "General Destruction". Third offering: "Major Steele", with or without the ending "e".
John Delaney
Grim Shaw, because that’s the first thing that came to mind.
Wfmtck
Boss Nova
Michael Obert
He gives me a Ruskie vibe; something like Commandant Cosmonaut sits nicely with me.
Kyle Voltti
The Masterroid to keep the stellar theme.
DC
The Patriarch.
Robert McGann
Phil. Just Phil. Why? All the neat names were already taken
Looks a little like Stalin or Lenin. How about Iron Curtain?
Les Nines
Doesn't have to be Military... In this pose he looks dominant, quiet, intelligent. Since he is a villain, he also probably thinks he is better then every one else. He is a Master of some sort. Since all we know is that he is getting thwarted, his Master Plan obviously did not go well. So for a Irony... maybe Master Planner or Plan Master (unless that is too close to taskmaster). Knowing if he has any special abilities would help... but I am assuming he does not. Ooooo… Instead of Plan,.. Method. Method Master! Sounds better and all kinds of possible innuendo jokes available.
Great Scott
Major Payne-Diaz? General Payne-Diaz? (goes back to CarTalk days...)
Great Scott
I agree with the military description, but more land-based (major, colonel, general) as opposed to water-based (commander, captain, commodore, admiral).
Aaron W. Smith
Major Erection? General Priapism?
Aaron W. Smith
He definitely looks military, so a rank, General, Major, Colonel, - then most comic book characters are either a double entendre (NOT ALWAYS SEXUAL) or pun, Colonel (kernel) loans itself to Corn and Maize jokes, and Maize could be a double meaning. The amazing Colonel Maize! nah, too corny. How about General or Major, and lots of words can be modified b y them as relative adverbs/adjectives. She is a Star, he could be "Major Planet". Depends upon how he defeats her, of course. or her powers. She has Light, Heat, Gravity, Magnetism, Solar Wind, Sun spots, Neutrinos (although those never hurt anyone). General Confusion? Major Confusion? General Disorder? Major Icestorm? Major Coldfront? Sorry, without knowing more about the story, thats all I can come up with!

Event Horizon
Rene Gobeyn
not havng a power set to work from makes it difficult. He looks like a strong & sturdy kind of guy, suggesting 'Brik' Wall, and a power set of being either super dense and hard to move, or the ability to put up a visible force-field
Peter Eduard
General 'Cuss' Grimwald
Bill O'Connor
A fishing based villain named Master Baiter!
Smith
Sergeant Pepper
Ian McDowall
He looks a bit military to me so how about Major something? It would also give scope for a pun, depending on his power set.

"Schio". Because then, the EiAD will be "Miss Starr Schioed"
Damian Paradis
The Mustache Rider. If he was a good guy make him a Ghost Rider spoof without the skull. Unless he keeps the stache when in skull form.
Robert
Ah. I was hoping that the woman would have a name like the one you gave Knight Walker. Something like "Star Paster". As for the guy, how about "The Curmudgeon". It would go with Rick Greene's theme and the "Hey kid! Get off my lawn!" cliches.
Brad Guigar
Not bad at all! I like the way you think!
Chad Lehman
What kills stars? Black holes--or "singularities." "Singularity"
Caleb Davis
I like the name "Greyhound". Including Grey which coincidently denotes his age, and Hound to suggest he's a bit of a dog with the ladies. Maybe something like "The Granite Greyhound".
Jeremy
Looks like JJ Jameson had been hitting the roids...
Bradford D Tree
Reminds me of Marc Maron - "Stand-Up" Also applies as a "Stand-Up Guy" in mob parlance.
Brad Guigar
Well... as usual... I've gone from having none to an embarrassment of riches! Keep 'em coming!
Brad Guigar
I like that as a character trait. Plus I can write most of it pretty naturally. :)
Andrew
The Terrible Toupė
Benny Yenson
The Phantom ‘Stache?

Maurader
The villain looks Russian to me, I would go with "The Bolshevik". A old school villain from the cold war, a counter point to the patriotic hero.
Paul Baker
Snidely Tashe
Guy Serle
Gray Nolson a callback to Omniman from Invincible
Rick Greene
Somehow my brain is saying "The Adage", and he tends to speak in old adages and cliches, especially ones that don't make sense or are useless in the current context, thus causing confusion in his opponents. Think Sam Elliot saying Yogi Berra things with a smattering of old-timey (aka gold rush era) half-crazy miner and old farmhand type stuff.
William Kelly
'The Duke'
Dewayne Williams
I look at the girl and think Miss commando. I'm pretty sure she doesn't wear underwear
John Ross
Brigadier Kernel Colon Scott
Clell Harmon
How about "Bob". Playoff the ordinariness of the nomme de villain. "It's Bob!" "Bob? We're doomed!" Or, given the nature of the strips, how about The Panty-Dropper?
Boomháuer
I’m thinking Samson Elliot aka The Cowboy
Brad Guigar
The power set is open to interpretation, but I kinda don't see him as a cape-and-spandex type, if it helps...
coolraul07
Without knowing his power set, first thing I got is "The 'stache".
