I need a name

I was thinking about superhero powers, and came up with an idea for one. I've not heard of it before, but for all I know, there might be an established character out there like this. My idea was of a hero who works by...I guess you'd say he affects the energy state and density of materials. He can make something - air, an object, an area - freezing cold, or flaming hot, by reducing or increasing the molecules' movement rate. He can do such things as make a force field, of sorts, by increasing air density at a location to solidity (which provides a mode of travel - solid-air platform); reduce a wall to such low density as to be able to walk through it; and turn solid pavement to the concrete equivalent of quicksand. And, of course, he can restore the things he affects to their original state, but it might take a bit more effort. But I haven't yet been able to come up with a good codename for him. Something related to the powers would be great, but I'm open to suggestions. (No, there's no money in this, so don't hold back on the hope of being written into a contract, or something. This is just a mental exercise on my part.) Thanks for your time, and have fun.

as is or with a prefix or suffix

Atom Weaver

Just a thought or two if you can get them.

Entropy (or some variation thereof)

Thermodynamic (as in law of)

Ok there's your powers but what kind of personality does this character have? Any details that you can give us make the process much easier. You know, like the image the name is supposed to invoke.

I'm sure there's characters out there that can alter matter, just most rarely abuse it to full potential. Firestorm, Silver Surfer, Apocalyse all come to mind. Honestly it's such a broken power as a character can literally do anything with that and enough imagination. It makes them either jobbers, always holding back for some reason, or defective in some way that they don't just liquify everyone that ever crossed them. (Such as firestorms power doesnt work on living material. Silver Surfer and Apocalyse just job alot over the years as Norin Radd used been a pacifist.)

With the ability to control basically the grand unified theory you can alter anything. Turn all air around someone into an indestructible metal cage. Turn their suit into whatever their weakness is. These sort of characters really only make sense when the story is not about beating tar out of other beings heh. They need some other sort of other conflict to go up against.

There are tons of characters with that power in various different ways. Flash for example can do it for fun by altering the speed force.

Triple Point

Heat Death

Molecule Man is the only mainstream non-cosmic character I'm aware of who possesses those abilities as their main and regular power.

Upon further thought, he WOULD need limitations. He has to concentrate to maintain something in its altered state, and it costs him energy. The greater the change he effects, the greater the area affected, or the longer it lasts, the more it drains him. He'd be a lawful hero, so it would matter to him whether or not he did lasting damage. When he alters something, it can eventually revert to its pre-alteration state. but the more solid it started as, the longer the reversion takes, and the more likely it will be left damaged, unless he puts more energy into restoring it, tiring him more. And, since he has to concentrate to keep something altered, he can't divide his focus and, for instance, air-cage several bad guys who are splitting up. That's just off the top of my head, so he may need further limiting.
As for naming, non-power-specific choices I had were, for instance, Delta, because the Greek letter "delta" stands for "change" in mathematical formulae, and he changes matter. Or a generic name, like Castle (because I like chess, and it sounds strong without being odd). Such a name could be a red herring to finding out his civilian identity.

Thermalkinesis!

He could always go with bob if it's available, but spell it backwards just to confuse people.

I'd call him

Marshal Matters

Marshal as a verb means can mean to arrange things.

Matter, well you're talking about Matter and engergy, but matters makes it a funny pun with a lame rapper's given name.

MolecuLarry

Quantum.

Another good name is Moleculo.

THE MOLECULAR MAN!

Molecular Masster!
