New Code-Names for Kon El and Tim Drake

[lemonpeace]

Rook was an old Warren comic magazine character who has been brought back more recently. (By Dark Horse I think?)

Your right there is/was (iunno if it's still going) a Dark Horse character title called The Rook but, well, Rook (chess piece names in general) aren't super uncommon so I'm not surprised. However, that character's name is THE Rook, I would advocate just for Rook and lean more on a rook as a bird aesthetically as opposed to the easy chess route. I would also make his primary color green to make him more visually distinct and I want each bat character to have a distinct color (Nightwing blue, Red Hood, Signal yellow, Orphan black/gold, etc.).

He is too old for Kid etc.

I would go with:

-Flamebird
-Steel Eagle
-Steel Titan
-Helios
-Valor (Mon-El didnt use this name anymore or?)
-Sentinel (was used by Alan Scott once)
-Steel Hammer
-Saviour
-Beast Slayer
-Doom Slayer
-Steel Phoenix

Your never too old for Kid so long as your youthful, plus It's more of an editorial name, he'd mainly just be Conner (or occasionally Kon-El). Some of the names you suggested sound pretty cool but (and mind you I'm not super in-depth with Superboy) my interpretation of Conner is all about maturity and growing out of your flashy teeny-bopper phase into a responsible adult. So in my mind what better way to demonstrate that than to have him stand tall and just be who he is. His wife and child are from a different dimension and he doesn't have an earth civilian life due to being ejected from the earth for so long. I mean, what better way to distinguish him from Superman than to have him take Clarks open face mentality as Superman and evolve it to full transparency?

Jokes aside the Tim thread mentioned the Scarlet Spectre which I love but if we have to go with bird theme how about Scarlet Sparrow

The term Metropolis Kid inspired me to make the name Metro Man, though these days it also sounds like someone with a subway-themed costume

I've considered Super Youth but it doesn't flow well. Superlad sounds like a nickname.

Has anyone taken Powerman or Ultraboy?

Power Man is used by two Marvel characters - Luke Cage and Champion and former New Avenger Victor Alvarez.

Ultra Boy?

Kinda get the feeling it's used for Legion though

Oh, and since I couldn't do four images in one post,

I would love to see a gothic detective tinged Batman story played completely straight with Care Bears.

Tim - Sparrow

Kon - Scion

Ideally a super-hero name should convey who they, what they do, or suggest a mood. Impulse is a great name, because it covers all three.

Sentinel could work for Kon.

A soldier who stands in place and keeps watch? How does this relate to Conner?

Better than just calling him Kon El, something with boy or kid etc.

I would hope for Steel Eagle,Steel Phoenix or so...

Would he take on a bird themed costume? Wear steel armour? Have fire-based powers?

No! That's already taken by Natasha Irons in my head cannon.

I like Scion for Kon. Or something extra like Supernova.

He died and came back from the ashes like a Phoenix...Steel is self-explanatory and Eagle because of America...
It sound also like the 90ies...

Flamebird was a Kryptonian Goddess and the name of Chris Kent female partner as he was Nightwing..
