Are these names taken for a supervillain name?

Question

I want to make a animal themed supervillain that has the supervillain name of a wild cat. So I was wondering is Cougar taken? Also is Jaguar taken?

Answer 1

Both those names have been used for heroes (it's really amazing how many more villains there are, than heroes!) Here's a couple useful references you may want to lok at in the future: The Encyclopedia of Super Heroes (Facts on File Publications) and on line, Don Marksteins' Toonopedia, which is much better for our purposes than Wikipedia.

Provided it's not a frequently appearang major villain of a major hero, I don't see that there would be any problem with you having a villainwith a similar name. You could get around any possible objections by adding a modifier to the name, like "Sleek Cougar" or "Scarlet Jaguar".

Your concept sounds interesting. Good luck and please let us know when you publish!

Answer 2

Cougar is a member of Youngblood from Image Comics.

Jaguar was a villain in the Marvel Universe before he died.

Neither one of them is really a huge character, so you could use their names without any legal issues as long as you don't use their likenesses (ie very similar costumes, powers, etc). You definitely wouldn't be the first person to name their character after a character that already exists, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Answer 3

there's a character called "Concrete", who recognized in a sequence of the comparable call from between the bigger secondary publishers, yet i'm extremely specific it fairly is approximately as close as you will locate to what you're describing with "Cementman." Concrete improve into surely made up of concrete, could no longer exchange his form, and does no longer be unsuitable for a human. His sequence did no longer fairly carry on with the heroes and villains formulation, besides the indisputable fact that he did stumble upon some different individuals with doubtful skills. there is likewise a Flash villain called "Tar-pit" who's particularly comparable to "Asphaltman," if Asphaltman is immediately heated and sticky whilst he converts to his asphalt form. If anybody has used the two of the names you ask approximately, it could have been interior the smallest of small press guides, and so few human beings could have considered pronounced e book or books that it fairly does no longer count. Cement is a mild shade, and asphalt is particularly much constantly black (I even have considered crimson asphalt, whether it improve into experimental). in case you go with Cementman, bypass with crimson to assessment with the blue of his denims, and crimson additionally should compliment the grayish whiteness of cement. in case you bypass with Asphaltman, make the t blouse yellow, which might assessment properly with the blue of the denims and enliven what's an in any different case very dark palette.
