But we already have a Max Mercury. Too close to me.
I'd actually shy away from Greek or Amazon themed names for Cassie. I know it's not popular, but I don't even like her being Zeus' daughter (as opposed to simply asking for powers, as she originally did), and even if she is his daughter, her mother the parent who raised her and taking her superhero identity aspect/name from the absentee dad instead just seems kinda distasteful. And she's not an Amazon like Diana, Donna, etc. That's not her heritage.
I admit, I'm not really a fan of the "themed" names - so all "Supers" and all bird names for former Robins (who was originally named after Robin Hood, anyway) just seems a bit unoriginal. I want their new identities/codenames to be theirs, not derived from the identities of others in the "family." More individualistic would be more desirable to me. Names that are more about the person, less about the family. For me, the whole point it not being sidekicks/offshoots/secondary members/support characters anymore, so I want names that don't make you think of that. Being out of the "primary" hero's shadow, so they can (in-universe, at least) be primary heroes themselves.
Fury is going to be a problem if somebody ever decides to bring back Lyta Hall (especially with Diana/Steve being more popular now). I would rather Cassie get something that isn't another character's name. Likewise, I think Red Robin is fine for Tim Drake. I agree with the rest though, especially Silhouette for Cass.

I have to disagree with you both there. Blitz comes from Blitzen, the German word for lightning. It is totally associated with speed.Originally Posted by Digifiend
I'm from the UK and I'm a fan of Donner and Blitzen (from "Shadow Cabinet"). I have no problem with their codenames. It's classic turning a negative into a positive.
I know what the word means. I'm just saying "the blitz" is the first thing that pops into my head when I hear "Blitz." The second thing is the term "quarterback blitz" but it's far more vague as I know nothing about football and don't even know if it's an actual term or something I heard in a movie or whatnot.

The Outsider could work for Tim if he quit superheroing and went on to be a plain-clothes detective consultant for the GCPD.
That's what I would title his comic- "Tim Drake: the Outsider".
"Not a superhero. Not a cop. Who is he?" Is the blurb.
DC you get a freebie. .
That is if Silhouette at Marvel is okay with her name being used.
"There's magic in the sound of analog audio." - CNET.
Honestly id they are going to keep Barbra as Batgirl they should just sue the Oracle name for Tim. There are so many Robins and other knock off Robins they could just have Time retire from active duty and take up the Oracle role.
Donna Troy - Miss Titan
Wally West - Speedbolt
Kimiyo Hoshi - Dr. Energy
Ryan Choi - Subatomic Man
Avery's name should be Shǎn (闪), which is Flash or Lightning in Simplified Chinese (at least that's what came up in Google Translate). All of the Justice League of China's names are actually supposed to be Chinese translations of the English names.
Granddaughter. Diana is Zeus's daughter now.
