Alias Ideas for some Marvel characters
I want Jean to be able to be her own character both with and without the Phoenix Force. I think this fits both her Phoenix connection and mental renewal (psychological, spiritual, wellness, etc)
For this one I wanted to change a character's real name rather than the alias. Jubilation Lee always felt off, and while I know she's an 80s kid and the daughter of Hong Kong immigrants, I still wish she had a more fitting name. Jùhuì, according to Google, is the Chinese word for "gathering/party", a time of jubilation and fireworks.
I wanted to give Forge a full name, and while his first name is sometimes stated to be Daniel, he's never had a consistent surname. However, he once used the alias "Dr Silvercloud." Knowing that Forge is Cheyenne, I wanted to give him a fitting surname. From what I could find (and keep in mind Google doesn't have the best sources for this sort of thing), the word for silver (or maybe white) is "vóhpe" and the word for cloud is "vo'e", so putting those together gives us a complete surname.
This feels kinda sci-fi-esque and fits his power of absorbing energy and releasing it
my aunt, a long-time X-Men fan, keeps thinking this is her hero name, and it honestly works. It feels kinda fancy and flirty and fits in her signature Diamond quality in there
Peter Eisenhardt: Silverbolt
This would be the X-Men movie universe Quicksilver as a separate character. Marvel is no stranger when it comes to adapting the comics around the movies, and it wouldn't be difficult to imagine Magneto having another kid out there with speed powers after the retcon of Wanda and Pietro not being his actual kids
This one is pretty simple
Stepford Cuckoos (Sophie, Phoebe, Irma, Celeste, Esme): Quintet
This is just shark in Portuguese
Jessie Drake: Doppel or Flux
Jessie Drake is the first ever transgender character in Marvel Comics, and she returned briefly with Black Cat in a Pride Month comic a couple years ago
I've long struggled to find a perfect name for Kitty Pryde to fit her intangibility powers, and this one feels strong to me
Sebastian Shaw: Entropy or Siphon
Both of these are villainous names fitting his energy-absorption powers, both sound threatening
"A heat-resistant container used in metallurgy" fitting for the guy who turns his blood into molten metal and then solidifies it
Now I could be completely wrong, but according to the Glosbe Lakota to English dictionary, this is the Lakota word for "arrow". Also, I love Charli and really hope they join the Prime Marvel comic universe in some way
Another character I love from the new Ultimate universe, once again I could be wrong but a couple websites say this is the Marshallese word for "strength, power, might, force"
Perhaps somewhat cheesy, but I feel it fits given her character and powers
I largely enjoy the Mesoamerican reinterpretation of Namor in the MCU, and I'm glad Rivals continued it. This also connects to his original hero alias/title of Sub-Mariner.
Elsa Bloodstone: Hellhunter
A bit simple but it works I think
Jennifer Walters: Shattersmash
This lets her be more her own person separate from Bruce, and also subtly references "to shatter the glass ceiling"
I know he's called Wonder Man cuz he's a movie star, but I feel like if they made him use a more serious alias, this would be fitting
This feels like a good option separate from panther. It's another big cat.
If they ever wanted her to branch away from Carol more, this could be a fitting name
I know the Great Lakes Avengers have largely been a joke group, but if ever made more serious, this coukd be a better name for Bertha
Reed Richards: Dr Viscous or Dr Laminar
all of these are meant to tie to the states of matter
Probably my favorite character from Marvel What If and someone I hope is used more throughout Marvel. According to some sites this is the Kanien'kéha word for "sky"
With how much they turn into other characters in X-Men 97...
