Good name for my hero?
I actually think the last name of your guy would work rather well. Although you'd probably get people who thought you were ripping off Street Fighter.
However, if your looking for a more traditional name, perhaps something like "Visceral". Has a meaty sound to it which sorta goes along with your guy's powers.
"...With his life shattered..."
Shattered might be a good name. Going with Vega is a good idea, too. In the end it's your opinion, not our's.
I like Visceral a lot, thanks for the name.
I'd go with Vega, but its already taken along with Visceral.

I can never seem to think up great names for my heroes. I've made a Spine Scrapper tonight and all I can think of are rejects. Here's the backstory I've written:
He was once Paul Vega, a member of the worlds leading bionic research team at Biokinetics Inc, his world fell apart when he learned that it was not mankind that was benefiting from his research, but instead it was being sold on the black market. Dr. Vega's research fell into the hands of many notorious gangs and villains, ranging from The Lost to Crey Industries.
When Vega's superiors at Biokinetics learned he planned to resign from the team and go public, they kidnapped his colleagues including Jody Fuller, Paul's life long love. With the threat of execution, Paul made a drastic and life altering decision, he infused his body with one of his prototype experiments.
In the epic battle that ensued, Biokinetics Inc was ultimately defeated but Vega failed to save Jody or the other kidnapees during the destruction. With his life shattered, he now seeks an answer to how it all went wrong. Armed with the uncanny abblity to control spines from his body and unsurpassed healing abilities, he vowes to keep Paragon safe.
