naming a patriot type character

[znbrtn]

i've been working on a concept for a character based on the idea of a standard bearer, but i'm having trouble thinking of a pleasing name for him, so i'd like to throw the idea out there, perhaps get some suggestions. the one that keeps coming back to me is Gold Standard, but i don't like the color reference.

i'm thinking he will be a long-ago injured military grunt that, through some deal with a spirit of freedom or protection or some such, was granted the ability to transform into a youthful, capable, powerful form(empowered double-amputee victim, physical transformation: demigod).

as part of his powers, he creates/wields a pole with his allied country's flag on it, which can extend lengths of flag-patterned fabric for varied uses(ectoplasmic webbing), as well as extend to surround a person, then become mostly indestructible(immobilization ray). i have further ideas(perhaps a mode of flight and a personal defensive ability like hyperdensity), but the previous two are the core of the idea.

You can always go with comic book character names from older comics, like Major Victory or Yankee, both which are public domain, btw. The Superpatriot name has been overly used, but it is another standard one. Others that come to mind are Captain Courage, War Veteran, Captain Freedom, Flagstaff, War Flag, War Ensign, and Emblem.

i'm late for class, but these are great suggestions; i'll figure some out when i get back.

What about............The Patriot?

Yeah, not very original.

[Gryphon Chick]

Careful, now. You guys are getting off topic.
My suggestions:

Captain Glory
Union
National Man
Free Nation

I always liked the idea of a superpatriot having a public identity as a war hero. I don't see them as street level heroes needing to disguise themselves.

[znbrtn]

after much deliberation, i think i'm gonna have to go with Union. it's simple, catchy, awesome.

the identity bit, i think i may go with. a hero that puts it all out there, giving himself entirely to his countrymen, really works well for me.

you know, i could write a paragraph about how upset i am at you guys going off topic, and the irony and everything, but instead all i am allowed to say is "i like the name flagwaver" before I go too far off topic. so... I LIKE THE NAME FLAGWAVER!!!!

Technically, since znbrtn is the OP of this thread, he is free to go off topic. Technically, he did already pick a name.

[gaaahhhh]

How about a supervillain name for an archenemy?

Flagburner

It's right up there with Adolph Hateler.

So do I. I've been meaning to write him up, as part of a Mega-Villain duo: Hateriot and Singineer.

Maybe Flagburner has a little professional rivalry going with Hateriot to make things interesting?

after much deliberation, i think i'm gonna have to go with Union. it's simple, catchy, awesome.

the identity bit, i think i may go with. a hero that puts it all out there, giving himself entirely to his countrymen, really works well for me.

Hmm, is he British, cuz it's flag is called "the Union Jack"(Though if it matters Union Jack is a marvel or DC character) and I was going to suggest naming him after the flag he carries(Old GLory for the US etc...)

The name Union is not specific to nationality and means a union of states. Union Jack is a Marvel character who has appeared in Captain America and is currently a woman whereas the two previous Union Jacks were men.

[Stone Gargoyle]

During the Civil War, the northern United States were also referred to as the Union.

[znbrtn]

from the beginning, i have never mentioned the actual nationality of this character. truth is, i haven't decided what country he will be from, or even if said country will be a real country.

If I recall correctly (not being british), the Union Jack is what England's flag is called. Someone may want to correct me if I've heard wrong.

Correct. Union Jack is what the flag is called, meaning "national symbol". GC was referring to the British counterpart of Captain America, Union Jack.

How about the National Guardian?

Sorry. I guess it might help if I could read.
