In a world like Heroes where there are no previous generations of heroes, a brand new superteam is forming of young adults in college at St. Cyprian.
The roster consists of:
Ember the Phoenix, immortal fire-wielder
Marisol, psychic and telekinetic
Crystal, cypher and super athlete
Mac, genius tech inventor
Tariq, master of light
They’re trying to decide on a name for their team. What would you call them?
(feel free to suggest alternates in comments, but I prefer votes, it’s been a long process)
Hmm. An important element here is that they’re the first ones, so there are no predecessors. That’s why names like “The New Guard” or “Next-Gen” don’t seem appropriate; there is no “Old Guard” or “Previous-Gen”.
Actually, mashing those two together might work: “New-Gen”, or if you’re feeling like really pushing the “there are none like us” bit, “The Ascendants”.
These suggestions need a hashtag at the front. #modernheroes
Nestor Rodriguez I totally agree. Post Millenials, New Guard and Next-Gen all feel like names that would be appropriate/great if there were previous heroes. That said, I still went with Next-Gen because there could be a evolution of humanity feeling. So…sorry Richard Rogers, I have a suggestion. 😀 The Evolved.
New-Gen, The Ascendants, and The Evolved are all awesome!
The Ascendents is quite good. Especially with the mix of heroes in the description.
The Social Justice Warriors

hahah, now I want to make up a Masks PC named Hashtag!
I’m on board with #Vigilant – as Nestor Rodriguez said, there are no super hero predecessors; post/next might make sense if in the fiction they are a leap forward/above traditional non-super authorities.
Crisis Crew has a very cool ring to it, but i think that’s gotta be either villains or antiheroes. They bring the crisis with them!
St. Cyprian Class of ’17 RULZ! Go team, go!
Andrew Fish your posts always make me smile.
Don’t give me ideas Rich, or you’re gonna be dealing with #Hashtag
(pronounced ‘hashtag hashtag’)
DOOO EET! Hashtag is a legit name for a hero/villain in Masks.
