Madness Combat Name Generator

Madness Combat names are short, blunt and slightly off-kilter, like the series itself. The protagonist is Hank J. Wimbleton, and that format, a plain first name plus a middle initial and an oddly formal surname, is the template most fans use for their own grunts: Cliff R. Mercer, Otis J. Brambleby, Dutch M. Holloway. Hank's allies follow a second pattern of single Greek words that sound like names before you know what they mean. Deimos and Phobos are the Greek personifications of dread and fear, and the mythology of death and ruin is full of usable siblings: Thanatos, Moros, Nemesis, Keres, Achlys, Lethe.

The rest of the cast gives you more registers to work in. The A.A.H.W. labels its forces by role (Agent, A.T.P. Engineer, A.T.P. Soldat, Mag Agent: Torture), so military and agency-style names suit antagonists. The Auditor, the Employers and the Higher Powers are bureaucratic titles for cosmic entities, which is why names like the Assessor or the Comptroller sound so right in this world. Tricky and Hofnarr (German for court jester) open the door to clown and jester names, while Jesus, Christoff and the zombie plotlines make religious and occult names fair game.

The list mixes canon characters from the animations and Project Nexus with original names in each style, plus squad names for your own Nevada factions.
