🦸 Superhero Name Generator
Click "Smerble it" to generate a random superhero name. Pairs a power-word with a title, the same pattern used by most comic-book codenames.
Customize your name
Fill in a few words of your own. Add as many options as you like in each field, separated by commas, and we'll mix and alternate between them. Leave a field blank and we'll fill it in for you.

What is the Superhero Name Generator?
The classic comic-book formula is a power word plus a title, and it still works. This tool produces superhero codenames in that tradition — options that sound like they could headline their own series.
How to use it
Use it for a comic or game character, a tabletop persona, or just for fun. Heart the fits, copy a name, or download a set.
What makes a good superhero name?
Superhero names follow a formula for good reason: a power word plus a title tells you everything in two syllables. Keep the power word concrete.
Tips for better results
Add your own city in the customiser to ground the character, then describe the hero in one line and see whether the name still fits.
Where these names come from
Every superhero name on Smerble is built from its own word lists and patterns. The generator mixes them at random, and a no-repeat bag system means the same combination will not come up twice in a row. Everything runs in your browser as you click, so nothing is sent to us.
