For those of you with superhero/code names, how were they decided?

Oh. That sounds...interesting.

[He isn't sure how all that will work out, but he isn't really one to judge how someone wants to hero as long as they were doing it for right reasons.]

Why even have a "hero" name? I prefer my real name.

[mathemagier]

I was convinced that it would be better for the people I care for.

[heroforhobby]

How?

[mathemagier]

If any potential enemies discover my identity, it's more than just myself at risk for retribution.

[heroforhobby]

Oh.
I've never thought of that.

[mathemagier]

It's an unfortunate reality.

[heroforhobby]

For some people, I guess. It's good you have people like that to consider, as annoying as thinking up a name is.

[mathemagier]

Yes.

In any case, I hope you manage to insist on a better name for yourself.

[heroforhobby]

Eh. Not even sure what I'd call myself. I'd be in the same boat as you.

[mathemagier]

As frustrating as that would be, I'm sure it's inevitable.
