"I was one time!"
"You blinded yourself with a laser pointer?"
"I DIDN'T READ THE WARNING"

[vincentfreddoyle]

“Pull an Iceland/Greenland” is my new favorite phrase

[ZerkaiGG]

Lasereye reminds me of Wasabi from Big Hero 6, in that his hero name is just a nickname his friends won't let up on and has nothing to do with his laserblades.

Ice hero in a Hawaiian shirt would actually be kinda badass.

[boota]

Water themed powers?

Nah dude, if your super suit doesn't incorporate a Hawaiian shirt, you're doing it wrong.

"i spilled Wasabi on my shirt one time people, ONE TIME"

Hi my name is DEADLY FROST, I control fire. My costume is purple and blue because those are my favorite colors.
Why are you called Deadly Frost?
Because Frost is deadly to me, but no one ever thinks you'll name yourself after your weakness and so they keep trying to trap me in fire rooms. It's very funny.

That last one is actually historical.
Viking nicknames were often based on goofy/embarrassing things. So that guy they call "axebiter"? Yeah, he got clocked in the jaw with a hatchet while splitting firewood.

I mean, the lasereye thing is basically the reasoning behind military callsigns. You get caught drunk and peeing on the sergeant's car? You're Rainman from now on. You do so many pushups that you throw up on a sergeant's boots? You're Pukey. You crash a jeep into the barracks? You're Crash.

Naming Supers like this makes more sense than you might think. That being said, in comics, superheroes are usually named by the populace. Sure, there's a few exceptions (Batman is the one that easily comes to mind, but there are others, like Captain America), but the majority are named by either the populace, or the people they bring to justice.

"Is that Chicken Man?!"

"Well the costume is shark themed and there are magic flying vines growing from the fins in the boots and also that's a woman, so yes."

Bruh Aquaman literally wears orange predominantly

[mandos]

Never let them know your next move, wear a colourful suit and make your super hero name Dave

“Now it’s just you, me, and _Fire so Cold it Burns.”_

[azule]

dude this is actually amazing and if you have no killing morals you could just trick the entire villian society into thinking you have fire powers! then any attempt to trap you with water would instantly help you out! you'd have to take an extra mile to hide the evidence but it's all worth it!

[Sammy_The_Umbreon]

On another note, I feel like a superhero suit gives you away as well. Be dressed as a random civilian (just make sure your face isnt easy to recognise) and then just blast the enemy when they least expect it.

[Kafj]

Spaghetti man, controls black holes. Enemy "i see what you did there, and i had a bunch of you pasta away soon jokes planned as well.

[globalwarrior]

They're naming themselves like pirates

[dspace]

Same someone Corona.
Now villains will have to guess if its the drink, the virus or the Kingdom from Tangled.

[Ryan-cugg]

My favourite example of a superhero hiding their powers is definitely daredevil, he's so committed he was once fighting hawkeye and got a blinding arrow fired at him and he stood there for a minute before going "ah shit right normally people react to that" and miming not being able to see

[H.u.m.a.n.]

I thought this was gonna be something about backstories at first and how op would then have to have some kind of family trauma cause damn near EVERY ice/frost powered character has family trauma
