QuoteDuring my recent move to another office, I unearthed a document written circa 1978 by Marvel writer Peter Gillis and his brother Robert. What it is is a handy-dandy guide to creating thousands of valid villain (and hero) names by combining two simple words to make a compound word. Herewith, for your edification, and by kind permission of the Brothers Gillis is...

THE PATENTED GILLIS SUPERDUDE NAME MAKER

(Pick one from Column A and one from Column B-- and presto! you have a character name.)

COLUMN A COLUMN B
Dark         Lord
Fire          Master

Spider      Slayer
Iron        Witch
Night       Hawk
Star        Stealer
Ring        Destroyer
Power     Thief
Ruby       Force
Scarlet    Flame
Silver     Wizard
Mind       Light
Sun       Warrior
Hell        Arrow
Sea       Shark

Doom    Queen
Green    King
Red       Wing
Sky       Storm
Time     Dancer
Earth    Mask
Grey     Knight

See how simple it is? Hey, readers, how many names of established characters can you find by putting together a word from Column A and Column B?

There are a lot of cool names in those combos. Even some of those that don't necessarily make a lot of sense (Earth Axe?, Time Star?) are still pretty cool-sounding.

I was amused by some of them, like ThunderStealer (shows up right after the battle to strike a pose with his boot planted on the defeated villain just in time for the cameras), AirMask (he claims to be wearing a mask, but no one can see it), and WereFlower (pretty petunia transforms under a full moon into a bloodthirsty... um... dandelion? no, something tougher sounding... a tiger lily? wait! a weretiger lily!)  :P
Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that's why life is hard. - Jeremy Goldberg
