This place about to blow

silly suggestion but

since the tuff guys were ostensibly a team but weren't very coordinated...

in the superhero au, they all share an apartment, they are all at least vaguely aware of the others' "line of work", they just have a mutual unspoken agreement that work business stays at work. home business does not have to stay at home however, meaning they frequently start arguing about who needs to do the dishes or stop leaving their dirty laundry in the living room as they are fighting

Actually, there is a slightly built up lore around the tuff guys!

They started out as a vigilante group together, and they worked together for about a year or two, but their ideals and morals didn’t really line up and they were constantly arguing, so eventually they broke up.

Tango met Jimmy at some point during his time with the vigilantes and after a while of talking, Jimmy offered him a spot with the BAMVA, and Tango had considered it. Now that the vigilante team had disbanded, he decided to finally take him up on that offer.

The tuff guys had had multiple instances of fighting and threatening to disband or claiming they were quitting but coming back, and Tango had grown tired of that back and forth between Etho being too neutral and BDubs having the self proclaimed sense of righteousness that he kept insisting on. Jimmy had mentioned how stable his team really was, and how they were all aligned and it all sounded like a change of pace. So this time around, when the team had their fight, Tango actually kept on his word that he was leaving and joined the BAMVA.

After a while, Etho and BDubs finally realized that Tango wasn’t coming back, and they tried to work as a duo. But during that time, BDubs had met Impulse during a scuffle and after a while, they’d talked and Impulse said he’d put in a word for him and his team at the Hero Commission. And BDubs was so on board with that, he wanted to be a hero (and also he was still bitter that Tango actually ditched them and the Hero Commission was the direct opposition of the BAMVA) so he willingly accepted.

When BDubs brought this up with Etho though, Etho wasn’t so keen on it. He said he didn’t trust the Hero Commission, and he didn’t think they should join. This led to an argument where BDubs claimed he wanted to actually be useful and not whatever they were on the sidelines, and he decided that he’d just join the Hero Commission without Etho.

This led Etho to stay on his own for a while, trying to fight as a solo vigilante, but that’s tough work. Eventually he gets meets the vigilante team, at the time Gem, Joel and BigB (the vigilante team still needs a proper name) and despite Joel’s very strong suspicion of Etho, he gets welcomed into the team.

Idk about Etho and BDubs yet, but Tango has changed everything about his work identity, from his alias to his costume.

There will be more lore and plot points between them, but I don’t wanna reveal too much yet.

What are the hero names you currently have? And how did you come up with them?

I have all 5 names for the BAMVA!

All of these except for Cub’s were suggested by @/Andyling_ on twt! They suggested having the BAMVA having explosive pun villain names!

Scar: Dynamight - Dynamite + Might

Lizzie: Enignite - Enigma + Ignite (Previously Enigma)

Jimmy: Bangshee - Bang + Banshee (previously Poltergeist)

Tango: Blizzt - Blizzard + Blitz

Cub: Vexplosive - Vex + Explosive (he doesn’t go out on the field and said he didn’t need an alias, but the other 4 wanted to include him and just assigned him one and it stuck)

The Vigilante team I still need to develop a lot, but I have 2/4 names:

Gem: Pollux (Suggested by @/cantsurviveme on twt) because the constellation Gemini consists of Pollux and Castor, and when Castor died Pollux begged Zeus to revive him.

Grian: Wildcard (knew all the wildcards, seeing as he can mimic he’s kind of a wildcard himself)

Etho and Joel I’ve got no clue as of yet, but I’m still tweaking their powers and stuff anyways

The Hero Commission, while I’ve developed a bit more, but I haven’t figured out many names yet, and the ones who I have I’m still considering and are subject to change:

BDubs: TimeKing (very subject to change, it’s kind of basic, I just took it from “the time king changes the day”)

Cleo: Necromancer (also very basic, however Cleo doesn’t bother with the whole identity hiding thing because she’s a zombie so she can’t really be a normal civilian anyways. Chances are, the others wanted her to find a name and she just picked the first one that came to mind.)

Pearl doesn’t have a set name yet, but I’m probably gonna be looking towards “Hermes” or something connected to/revolving around that

Skizz also does not have a set name yet, but it will be revolving around his “Cupid” theme.

The other 4 I have no clue as of now haha

Finally team Renwood, things are very loose and I’m throwing ideas around for their name ideas!

I could easily just go for “Red King” and “The Hand” due to everything going back to Dogwarts

Other potential names would be “The Hound” and “Listener”

Still though, I’m not very attached to the names and am still looking!

In the end I want all the names to be fun and well thought out for all of them like the BAMVA’s were (thanks again Andy) and I’m still letting myself brainstorm for a bit before setting anything.
