What are some good names for a speedster character, /co/? I was planning on using Godspeed but Rebirth has fucked that option up so I'm at a loss.
My OC donut steel speedster is named Lightspeed, his teammates gave the name to him as sort of a joke, the joke being that's the only thing he isn't faster than.
Fast-Man
Lightspeed
Robospeedster XLR-8
>>83099549
Quick Roger
Has Momentum already been taken?
>>83099549
Fastman
What about The Flash? That's a good name for someone fast.
Here's another. It's sort of a joke name in that other people fundamentally misunderstand him.
The Planck.
A Planck moment is the shortest possible interval of time that is measurable, but people keep assuming he's The Plank and that he has some sort of wood or pirate deal going on.
Tempo
Hastemaker
Velocitus
>>83099715
I like it. It's simple but catchy. OP should use this.
Another possible name that I think is clever is Quicksilver. Because it's a real thing but also has the word quick in it.
>>83099707
Inertia has, not sure about Momentum.
>>83099549
Go-Quick
Speedman
Fast Guy
Power Shoes
Foot Body
>>83099718
In a similar vein, he could be called Attoman or Attomaster.
People think he's some atomic superhero but really he is the master of attoseconds.
>>83099741
Now I want pirate with wooden leg as speedsters.
Lickity-Splitter.
I'm thinking of the laws of motion of Newtonia or Newtonium sound kinda dumb.
>>83099804
But licketty splits are delicious maplewood treats for beavers, anon.
>>83099804
Lickity-Spitter. A non-passable 6'5 black tranny villain. "I'll spit on your dick faster than you can say lickity-split!"
I had a speedster character named Mach9, so named because it is his top speed, or so he claims. Everyone assumes he's bragging since they've never seen him pass 6.Until the final arc

>>83099593
>>83099549
No matter what you pick, it'll always be better than Whizzer
Siegfried the Swift
Joshua Speedstein
He can grab pennies faster than anyone else in new york
Haste
I came up with the idea for a character a while back that's sort of an unconventional speedster. He calls himself GO-Man. He's normally no faster than normal but he can predetermine an amount of time and degree by which his speed is increased, then active what he calls "GO-Time". He's just gotta be careful how much to use because afterwards he's slowed down by the same degree for the same amount of time.
Goldrush
Redline
Blue Streak
Pick a color, any color.
Why not call him speedy?
>>83099549
Mr. Speedypants
Blur Man
Quickie (wink wink)
Green Light
Vroom
Rush Hour
U-sane Bolt
Breaknecker
Speediggity
Fasta
Brisk Boy
Swiftron
Insta-Man
Hank Hurry
Always though "Bullet" would be a good speedster villain name.
My long running oc speedster is called 'Lightning Bolt! Fantastic Dan'
(The exclamation mark is part of the name) The idea is that he insists on this name and beause he's the only hero, peiple just accept it
The Roquefort Rocket
The Brie Bullet
The Parmesan Pellet
>>83099926
Oh, /pol/. Never change.
Blur
>>83099961
the mexican mouse is already that
Pacemaker
>>83099549
Cosmo Redshift
SoulSonic. (A black)
RockSonic. (A white)
Whiiiiiiiiiite Lightning and his sidekick, Thundacracka. Two good old boys whose nuclear-enhanced hot rod was struck by lightning and gained the awesome proportional speed and strength of a Chevy big block hemi.
>>83099905
Don't you talk shit about the Whizzer, motherfucker's got Mongoose Blood.
Usain Bolt
Taylor Swift
>>83100113
I'd watch it.
Bat Out of Hell
Actually, that would probably work better as a Stand name than a superhero.
Darkness.
Because no matter how fast light is, it finds that the darkness has gotten there first and is waiting for it.

So this is what people felt like talking to me in high school.

Skip Steppington and The Seldom Seen Sam Swift
The Jiffy
>>83099549
The Teen, he comes in 3 seconds flat
>>83099549
Attosecond
I really liked the name Impulse, it's not used anymore sadly.
Explosid
bar torr was a good and creative name, but sadly it's attached to the wrong things.
The Blender
The fastest speed stir on the market
A better question is what to call a Speedforce equivalent that allows you to bullshit a speedster's abilities and whatnot.
>>83099549
Hmm...I have a donut steel 70s blacksploitation speedster named Jetblack, and his son was named Runaway, plus I had some preschool triplets of Impulse back in a YJ fanstory named "Bolt, Dart, and Dash" (their older sister who had to round them up after they got loose in the 20th Century was also named Runaway...yeah, I reuse names for different projects, all the good ones are taken y'know?).
I also have DCU Online speedsters named Jesse Quickfreeze and Scarlette Speedster, but they're plays on existing characters so I don't think they count.
>>83100896
Reminds me of my own speedster twins themed around illegal street racing, Blacktop and Redline.
FAMALAY
How about lame losers! The Flashes are all a bunch of cowards and can't do anything! Yeah, the lame loser babies! I know better characters who can run faster and don't need stupid speed names. Superboy is one of them and I don't mean that Connor kid (haha what a loser he's dead. GOOD!) The best and most popular Superboy. He can beat all the Flashes. Don't buy into the LIES!

What noise do they make? You can name them after that. Like a whoosh or a zoom sound.
Then if they have a title or a profession you can add that on for individuality. So stuff like Mr Professor Zip, Sir Zooming McZoomypants
>>83101796
That's awful. How about REO Fastwagon

Mmmmmm how about RAPIDFIRE?
Highgear? Uhmmm...Xceed? Vitesse?
General advice about Speedsters is that you'll want to give them a theme besides just being fast otherwise your character is doomed to always be upstaged by the Flash.
For something general I don't think "Bullet" has ever been used or you could just call them something plain like Mac (Mach).
Hot Pursuit was a brilliant speedster concept, a shame it was underutilised. Ideas like that make for cool speedsters.

>Hot Pursuit

Arrow Boy
>>83102242
That's a pretty lukewarm reaction, Carlos.
>>83099604
Underrated post
>>83102223
I would actually like it if Wally on the Flash show became a Hot Pursuit-type of speedster. Blending his engineering skills with the Speedforce like how Barry blends his Forensic science background to be precise with his speed.
>>83102171
>Mach
>>83099549
Wind Breaker
>DC has taken all the good speedster names
They can't keep getting away with this
Ok ok, lemme elaborate on a previous post.
She's a french girl and her name is "Vitess." Super speedster celeb named Tess somethingfrench.
>>83102347
I want Pattie to come back as HP but I'd take Hot Wally as a second choice.
>>83102368
I said Mach not MAHAAA
How was Johnny Quick not named Jack B. Quick?
>>83099549
Mr. Zip.
Fast
