About Madness Combat names

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.

How to choose Madness Combat names

  • For a grunt OC, copy the Hank J. Wimbleton rhythm exactly: a short first name, one middle initial, and a two- or three-syllable surname that sounds like it belongs on a brass nameplate.
  • Use Greek or Latin personifications for Hank's allies and rivals (Deimos and Phobos are fear, Thanatos is death, Lyssa is rage); avoid gods that are too famous, like Zeus or Ares, which read as generic.
  • Antagonist forces use role designations, not names: Agent, Soldat, Engineer, Mag Agent followed by a colon and a single word such as Torture, V or N. One word after the colon is the rule.
  • Cosmic or corporate-overlord characters get a bureaucratic job title with 'The' in front (the Auditor, the Assessor); the duller the job sounds, the more menacing it is in Madness.
  • Keep clown names ironic and old-fashioned (Hofnarr, Punchinello, Buffo) rather than scary-sounding; the horror comes from the contrast.

Frequently asked questions

What is the naming pattern for Madness Combat characters?

There are four main styles: Hank J. Wimbleton-style full names with a middle initial, single Greek or Latin words like Deimos and Phobos, agency role designations such as A.T.P. Engineer or Mag Agent: Torture, and bureaucratic titles like the Auditor or the Sheriff.

Why are Deimos and Phobos named that way?

Deimos and Phobos are the twin sons of Ares in Greek mythology, personifying dread and fear, and the two moons of Mars. Krinkels named the characters after them, which is why Greek personifications of death and ruin fit the series so well.

Can I use these names for Madness: Project Nexus characters?

Yes. Project Nexus lets you name your custom character and squad in Arena Mode, and the grunt, agent and codename styles here all fit the game's Nevada setting.

Are canon Madness Combat names included?

Hank, Sanford, Deimos, Tricky, the Auditor, the Sheriff, Dr. Christoff, Phobos, Jesus, Hofnarr and the Mag Agents appear near the top of the list as reference; everything else is original and safe to use for your OC.
