Superhero Name Patterns
Superhero names typically combine: an adjective with an action/object (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk), Mr/Captain/Wonder + power source (Captain America, Wonder Woman, Mr Fantastic), or single-word power signifiers (Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm). Modern Marvel/DC properties continue these patterns; comic publishing has well-established naming conventions.
Generator output patterns: combine random colour + power (Crimson Lightning, Indigo Shield), add 'Captain', 'Doctor', 'The' prefix to a punchy noun, or pair an animal/element with a strong verb. Used for: gaming character creation, costume parties, team-building exercises, RPGs. Check for trademark issues before using one as a real persona.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do superheroes have alter egos?
Plot device originally - secret identity protects loved ones. Now also commercial (Bruce Wayne is a brand on his own). Iron Man (Tony Stark), Spider-Man (Peter Parker), etc. The duality lets readers identify with the regular-person side.
Can I trademark a superhero name?
Marvel and DC trademark their characters aggressively. Generic combinations (random adjective + noun) are fine for personal use but generate-then-check is wise. 'Spider-Man' is heavily protected; 'Spider-Star' might or might not collide with a registered mark. Independent comics use unique names to avoid clashes.
