Female Superhero Name Generator

Female superhero names have their own history. The Golden and Silver Ages leaned on Girl, Woman, Lady and Miss attached to a power or theme: Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Invisible Woman, Phantom Lady, Miss Martian. From the 1970s onward the codenames got shorter and more personal, especially at Marvel, where heroines like Storm, Rogue, Jubilee, Dazzler and Psylocke take a single word that describes a power, a mood or a look. Modern heroines often just use their civilian name in the mask, which is why Jessica Jones, Kate Bishop and Kamala Khan sit alongside Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye.

The original names here follow those same moulds. You will find title names (Madame Midnight, Lady Lodestone, Doctor Dusk, Captain Freedom), power words (Starquake, Hailstorm, Brainwave), animal and mythic codenames (Falconess, Pantheress, Valkyrie Vale, Morrigan), colour and gemstone names (Scarlet Spear, Emerald Empress, Azure Arrow), and alliterative two-word names in the Lois Lane tradition (Cosmic Kate, Clockwork Clara, Nightmare Nell).

Use the canon section for trivia, costume ideas and reference, and the original section when you need a codename for an OC, a tabletop character, a Halloween persona or a web comic. A good heroine name should hint at the power set, fit on a chest emblem and sound right shouted across a battlefield.
