Name Poll

I am creating a new character for my universe, essentially a female pilot who volunteers to be a test subject for a new Super Soldier program just like her idol Lady America.

Eventually she will go insane from the process and become a villain of sorts, targeting Lady A and of course the PCs who are on the Sentinels with her.

The character's real name is Major Elizabeth Burton USAF, but I need to come up with another name for her.

I am listing in this poll some names I will use, but if you have another that you think would be better, I am open to that.

For me I prefer names like "Captain America" over "Sentinel of Liberty", I just feel the latter feels more like a title (Lady America; The American Amazon for example).

I know most names have been used already, especially when it comes to American patriotic heroes and heroines, but still it is worth a try.

Please, if you suggest a name and I like it, I would want to use the name possibly in publication, so that would have to be cool with you, full credit given to you as coming up with the name of course.

I was trying to think of the negative aspects of the world's most powerful nation.

Miss Empress
Madam Rampant
Miss Rule
Lady Domina

Sorry, not much there...

See I don't want her name to be evil at all, that's the ironic part of it. She has to be marketable as a heroine first and then go crazy! :)

Ahh - the slow decline. Sorry I missed that.

Miss Banner
Flag Maiden
Miss Patriot/Lady Patriot

Playing up her actual rank, you could do something like:

Major Liberty
Major Freedom

What's her power set like? Also a martial artist type, or something different?

How about something like Flying Star or Fighting Star?

American Star

Hmmmm... no that's not quite it...

Star is in it though...

To be honest, when I see "American Maiden" I think of "American Maid" from The Tick.

How about "Maiden America"? It works on 2 levels ;)

That's exactly how "American Maid" was supposed to work. i like your approach, as long as you don't put her in a Maid outfit :P

Nah it would be more like this;

That is "Liberty - the All-American Girl" a now defunct web-comic that was pretty much just "Good Girl Art ala Femforce", though still kind of interesting.
