[BNW] Delta names



It came to my attention that when generating a character, my players had the initial concept and everyday joe public names sorted out, but could they think of a Delta ID?
 
I used to run Marvel SuperHeroes a lot and dug out my old list of character names and passed it around.  Most, if not all were original or 'borrowed' from comic books.  I thought that seeing as how BNW is a darker kind of game, but in the comic book genre with powers and all, that I would post a few names here.
 
Perhaps, between the GMs out there, we can get a list of Defiants, Primers, EU etc and maybe, just maybe get a big list together so that the recent discussion on number of Primers in each city could kinda get answered.
 
Anyway, to the list of names.  I have grouped them together under the different template powers.  Feel free to use any of them in your games.
 
Blasters : Cannon, Deathtoll, Firestorm, Hellfire, Inferno, Thermal
 
Bombers : Boomer, Fuse, TNT, Semtex (Player favourite), Nitro
 
Covenant : Crucifix, Priest, Bishop, Cardinal, Angel
 
Snuffer : Disrupter, Nexus, Blind
 
Goliath : Mammoth, Monolith
 
Scrapper: Brutal (Not too many wanted scrappers so some help or ideas would be good)
 
Speedster : Velocity, Dash, Sprint, Meanstreak
 
Flyer : Airstrike, Hawk, Falcon
 
Gunner : Bloodstrike (named after one of my old image comic favs), Sniper, Buckshot
 
Teleporter : Tesseract (I liked it from the list so that one goes in), Exit, Portal, Gateway, Nexus
 
I will add more names as I think of them.  As a handy hint, if your players are having difficulty in thinking of a 'hero' name, pass them a dictionary or better still, a Thesaurus and that should give them plenty of scope.
 
I hope this has helped out and I hope that some new names appear so that I can get away from my old marvel campaign names.
 
Ever Defiant.
