Part of the Dark Age of Super Heroes involved making not only their appearance, morality, and demeanor Darker and Edgier, but also their names. Heroes born during the nineties ditched the Something Person Naming Conventions and took a page from Names to Run Away From Really Fast, using names both scary and trite. Characters surviving from this time period may have to struggle with sounding dated, but then again, surviving the nineties hopefully means they have more to them than just boasts of Badassness. See also Fad Super. Contrast The Adjectival Superhero.

  • Part of the Dark Age of Super Heroes involved making not only their appearance, morality, and demeanor Darker and Edgier, but also their names. Heroes born during the nineties ditched the Something Person Naming Conventions and took a page from Names to Run Away From Really Fast, using names both scary and trite. Most names became one word, usually gritty, edgy, and trendy. At times, two words were merged into a single name, usually including some combination of Dark, Blood, or a verb for killing. Because substandard literacy is kewl, they are occasionally misspelled in clever ways like Darkchylde, Stryker, or Bloodwulf -- which coincidentally makes the names easier to trademark. Characters surviving from this time period may have to struggle with sounding dated, but then again, surviving the nineties hopefully means they have more to them than just boasts of Badassness.
