This is a bit of an oddball request, but I'm working on a comic book set in the Southern US and am trying to think of appropriate names for 'Confederate Superheroes'. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Names for Southern superheroes
- Thread starter Lookingback
- Start date
It has. In fact, IIRC there have been 2 Captain Confederacy characters, one of whom was black and female, I kid you not.
I rather like Secessionman, with a letter S in a shield on his chest. No conflict with OTL Superman, because in the timeline where the Union lost there is no such character
.Colonel Cotton
Rebel Belle
Mountain Maid
Swamp King
Captain Country
Captain Cajun
Gator
Which OTL superheroes in any comicverse come from the CSA states? (apart from Captain Confederacy)
Marvel:
Gambit.
Rogue
Simon Garth AKA The Zombie (Borderline example)
Cannonball/Husk/Icarus
DC:
Amazing Man III
Damage
Max Mercury?
Flash Forward (Doom Patrol)
There's probably more, but that's all I can think off at the moment.
Massa Tom, sidekick of CSA superteam?
(Yes, I know this is bad taste. But remember, CSA superteam)

Quite. Isnt this the obvious one?
Ala otl's Johnny Canuck?
If you wanted, you could even make him Jewish... when his great grampa immigrated, 'Yitzak Rebbe' became Isaac Reb.....
one that i devised for a project of my own is "Popinjay" (from an archaic word for parrot, specifically used in the South IIRC), basically as a combination of Green Lantern and Captain America (for the project, i decided to come up with a multinational team of superheroes by combining Marvel and DC characters). here's what i wrote on him:
Lots of generic Superhero names (e.g. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Mr. Fantastic, etc.) would work for any nationality. They don't have to directly reference the South, even if they are published by a dystopian fascist Confederacy.
That said, how about superheroes focused on specific states? Assuming a Confederacy where states have strong identities, local comic book industries might try to tout local heroes, or national groups might try to have multi-state teams to promote their vision of "diversity."
So:
The Horned Toad
The Tar Heel
Old Man River
The Mountaineer
etc.
