Question Miami Super Team Name

I need a name for a superhero group in Miami, all the cool names have been taken already.
Right now I have a temporary name of Miami Lightning, but I don't like it.
The only other group in Florida that's named is Bakers Dozen over in Tampa, and they're not respected, so I can't use them as a basis for it.

The Crusaders name seems to be "franchised" out.

Oh right. That's a great idea. Thanks.

And if the Crusaders isn't quite your cup of tea, on the same general theme they could be the "Inquisitors" ...

Heh, that's almost as bad as the "Conquistadors" would be...

And they would have the advantage that no one would expect them to show up!

(facepalm)

Really? You went there?

It's Crusaders no more Monty Python jokes.

European Crusaders or African ones?

Don't make me take my annoyance out on a character. I don't want to do angsty right now.

That reminds me about a set of fanfiction about Buck and Bolt, who were a team of power suit jocks affiliated with the Tampa Bay sports teams that mostly did drug interdiction. I wonder if those will get reposted.

If you had an all female team with water themed powers you could go with "The Miami Mermaids". "The Miami Dades" is a trifle tongue in cheek, and you might not want to go with including Miami at all. Perhaps something like "The Scorpions" to reference the cryptid of Miami Beach, or maybe for a laid back group, "The Beach Bums".

Miami Vanguard

Also two of the Members must be named Sonny and Rico And the teams gadgeteer must produce awesome souped up cars for transportation.

I like the beach bums, and the scorpions is cool, I didn't know Miami had a cryptid.
But it's Crusaders. The beach bums can be another Florida team.

The team is only being mentioned by an impressionable twelve year old.

OK, two points:

"The Conquistadors" is not a would-be bad naming case: it's an actual South American superteam in the Whateley Universe. Yeah, I'm South American and I don't like the name very much either.

Second point: I once jokingly suggested to Kristin that the reason that no Miami-based supergroups ever got mentioned in "Fling" is that, like Gothan in the DC Universe, Miami is home to a guy who does not play well with other children... but instead of being a paranoid control freak like Batman, this one is an egocentric jerk who thinks everything that ever happens in Miami is somehow about him -- like, he never thinks a bank robbery is about the money: somehow, in his mind, is a personal attack on him, so he has to take center stage on every case and hog all the credit.
Name of this super? Horatio Caine, a.k.a. "The Ego."

best team name. Miami mice.

(Cues 80's music and suit jackets over silk shirts, worn as if you just rolled out of bed).

The Retreads. A name used to refer to the retired supers in the area, not a name they choose themselves.

The Miami Snowbirds. A part-time super team of elderly superheroes who spend the winter months in Florida!

you do know that the Canadian Forces precision flight group is called the Snowbirds?

Canada has a military? When did someone let THAT happen? (snerk)

Yes, I know. I also know that Snowbirds is a disparaging nickname in Phoenix for all the geezers who winter in the Valley of the Sun - which is the reference I was shooting for.

yup I know, was just razzing ya.

and a lot of those geezers are Canadians.

my aunt and uncle were doing that, going to SoCal for the winter, but my uncle developing Schizophrenia put and end to it. He can't walk past a vertical line because of it, he has to see it until he is past, which stops him from going through a doorway. ( he can't see both sides of the doorway at the same time so gets stuck bouncing forward and back trying to go through. )

being form Cali

he should be just fine here. as most doorways are no longer 'vertical' from all the earthquakes we have daily --or so my east coast family says to me --lol

and Canada has a military ? are you sure its not just some real mean scouts?

It is amazing how long this has gone on after Domoviye said that he was going to make this particular Miami team an expansion team of the Chicago Crusaders (just like the California Crusaders are). Still, we have gotten a lot of interesting possible names out of it.

Please, please, stop harassing the poor man. It takes time and we know how slow Whateley time is. A day at Whateley can feel like an eternity for some characters as its seems it never moves past a certain day for them. Take Time Capsule for instance. He's been looking for a home ever since the day of discovery. Poor chap and as I'm sure Dom is working ever so diligently on finding the correct adajay I mean adaj for the Miami Gophers. Or is it Miami Diehards?

Well just give her time. It is a long weekend for some and it takes time to digest a wookie.

OK, I'm in a punny mood, so two more (quite unlikely) suggestions:
Miami Dudes?
Miami Vises?

Mr. Happy is still there,

I'm not commenting on this thread, because I do have a name already picked out. But some of these do have me laughing and I may borrow some of them for later.
Also I've spent the last week really busy with a special project. So I've been pretty busy.
But please keep the names coming.

Reaches up grasping hands around neck and in a rasping voice "Please can I breathe again?"

Considers it. "No."

Don't know if this would work but Florida Hurricane's or Miami Twisters

Just throwing it out there for future users.

Okay its been fixed. Although that might not be the best choice of words.

Also found a name that might fit for anyone that wants it. Just change the beginning. Miami Libertarians. That is if it hasn't already been used.

Fixed!!!
But I'm not done using it yet!!!!!!

Now if you're done trying to change me before you've even bought me supper, I think I'll borrow that name the next time I need a super group.

Consider it yours as payment for that little (oops) mishap.

I bet they'll really have a difficult time getting men to join

They still have more luck getting male team members than the New Orleans Castrators.

Or American Headhunters

But way LESS success in acquiring male members than the Daytona Womanhunters...

This has gone into very strange territory. And I really only have myself to blame. And I still don't know how we got here.

And of course, the Daytona team is peanuts when compared to the Nashville Nympos!

The Newfoundland Nudists gets quite a few members, but most of them are rather sad over the hill people trying to feel young.

On the other hand, the Albuquerque Amazons can't seem to keep men around. They all end up running, screaming, their bodies badly bruised ....

Surprisingly even as they ran screaming they had very big grins on their faces and were smoking.

But what about those Talladaga Nightingals?

All the guys on the Vancouver team quit when the gals decided to change the team name, and they don't quite understand why they can't recruit more. For some reason, the guys really, really don't like to be one of the Vixens

They started their own team ( with 2 mill pop in the GVRD they can have 2 teams )

The Vancouver Gigolos

and the weaklings that have formed a team in Victoria can't understand why they can't get stronger members for the Victoria Vegans.

seems to me more powerful members would want that 5 pound slab of flesh at every meal.

Superhero Team Sillies is now a fun thing in the Quad. I summarized all the insane and inane suggestions from here and started a topic there.

Well then, back to the topic, a name for a Miami superhero team: The Skeeter Swarm!

I say this, having spent three of the most draining years of my life in the Florida Keys

But,... but... she already picked a name.

Edit: Please, please, please work. Him; he who must not be annoyed. Bad Eyegore, bad bad bad.

Do I have to hunt you down and prove I'm a male.
I've got the time to do it.

That was a slip on my part, honest. I'll correct it now mistress. I mean master.

Forgive me master: Bad Spiegel, bad bad bad. *gouges eyes out. Can't see precious Dom anymore. NO! NO! NO! No more precious Dom will I see.

She's tempting me Dom. She's putting me to task. From the rings of Nebula I'll hunt thee down. And all the little pieces too. Just let me find my cane.

oops
