This was a placeholder, and I fully expect to change the name as soon as I come up with a good one, especially since I just googled it, and it's on of Henry Pym's names (is there a persona that guy DIDN'T take on?). So, having though for most of the morning, I'm still having trouble coming up with a name. So I'm asking for a bit of help here, to see if any of you creative types can help me out and come up with a good name for her. Thanks! -AT |
1. Bad Aett!!!
Ant-man and Giant Man were lame but his Yellowjacket outfit was cool. He finally was believable as a hero.2. I would use something off this page that tickles your fancy and is available.

P.S. Yellowjackets scare me.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Isn't a Yellowjacket a wasp, not a bee?
I had Ichneumon picked as a name on Union for a while, but never really got them going. Was thinking of a Spines Stalker or a Ninja/TA or Poison MM. They've a great way of finding food for their young, by laying the eggs inside a living caterpillar or grub.
From Wiki
==
Ichneumon wasp species are highly diverse, ranging from 3 mm (1/8-inch) to 13 cm (5 inches) long. Most are slender, with the females of many species (particularly in the genus Megarhyssa) having an extremely long ovipositor for laying eggs. The female finds a host and lays an egg on, near, or inside the host's body. Upon hatching, the larval ichneumon feeds either externally or internally, killing the host when they themselves are ready to pupate. Despite looking formidable, the ovipositor does not deliver a sting like many wasps or bees. It can be used by the wasps to bore into and lay eggs inside rotten wood.
What server? And how do you feel about word-play names or jokey sounding names?
I've wanted Westley's suggestion of Buzz Off on Virtue ever since my name Bee-Yotch got generic'ed, but I finally settled on the inferior, but still pleasing to me, Pain in the Wasp.
Depending on your taste, and availablity, you could try any of those names.
Another name I have been after on Virtue is Tarantula Hawk, which at first doesn't sound like much of an insect name, but look them up on wikipedia - they are big, bad-*** wasps that hunt tarantulas as food for their larvae! ETA: They don't look anything like bees though.

Yup, a Yellow-jacket is a wasp, not a bee, but either works for me. It's a yellow/black costume, so either one works pretty well.

Normally I don't mind a jokey-sounding name, but the costume on her is very sleek, and she looks like she should be a killer, so I'd prefer something a little more flashy or simple, rather than jokey. But if I see a good name, I'll take it.
This will be on Pinnacle, just FYI. Thanks for all of the ideas so far!

Deathsting
Wait, she's a "yellow jacket"? Don't they bite instead of stinging?

No, they sting. At least the ones over here do. (And at the moment they're in their grumpy "It's cold and I'm going to die soon" modes so they're best avoided)|

Dunno if they bite too, usually the sting is enough.
Vespine- from the dictionary, "Of, relating to, or resembling a wasp."
Or try Killer Bee or Queen Bee if your character is female.

Vespine is a good one (I also liked Deathsting above).
Killer Bee and Queen Bee are both taken on my server. I'd imagine that Deathsting will be as well, but I'll give it a shot.

Sorry, that's all I could come up with.
You could also use a name from an in game power: Sting of the Wasp.

Okay, I know I said I wasn't a fan of jokey names, but AC-BeeC gave me a laugh. Thanks for that!

People allergic to bee stings can enter anaphylactic shock. The shock part is in keeping with the elec armor.
How about:
Anaphylactic Shock
Anna Phylactic
Ana Phylactic
Honey Buzzcut
Buzzkill Babe
Stingstress
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

Can't one also get anaphylactic shock from, amongst other things, condoms and tampons? The last two names especially might lead to some misunderstandings...

If she doesn't fly, Velvet Ant sound sleek and feminine, and yet "They are known for their extremely painful sting, facetiously said to be strong enough to kill a cow" and even more terrifyingly, "They invade the nests of wasps and bees so their integument is very tough and roughly textured to protect against stings."
However, red or purple is more their color than yellow and black.
If she's the product of some secret project, how about Plan Bee? If she's a spy, how about Honey Trap?
