Superhero Cat Name Generator

DC has Streaky the Supercat (Supergirl's cat), Dex-Starr the rage-filled Red Lantern cat and Catwoman's various companions; Marvel has Goose the Flerken from Captain Marvel, Chewie in the comics, Hairball from the Pet Avengers and the Black Cat's namesake. Human heroes with cat themes include Black Panther, Hellcat, Wildcat, Tigra, Cheetah, Kitty Pryde and Catwoman, all of which work as pet names.

Add a rank or title (Captain Oreo, Agent Pumpkin), attach a power word (Super Socks, Mega Mittens, Atomic Archie), or build an alter ego by swapping a hero's surname onto the cat's name, such as Biscuit Banner or Whiskers Wayne. Alliteration almost always helps, which is why so many entries here double up on a letter.

Yes. The original codenames (Shadowpaw, The Velvet Vigilante, Purrlock Holmes, Whiskerbolt) are free to use for original characters. Names that are direct puns on trademarked heroes are fine for a pet or a parody, but for a published comic you should lean on the original entries instead of Supurrman-style parodies.

Villain cats sound best with an honorific plus a domestic crime: Doctor Hairball, Lord Knockover, Baroness Bitemark, Shredder of Sofas, Professor Hiss. Tortoiseshells and chimera-patterned cats are popular candidates for Two-Face, and any cat that knocks glasses off counters has earned Catastrophe or Doctor Destructo.
