Comic Book Superhero Names for Boys

If you like to imagine your baby all grown up, standing up for what's right and fighting against evil, then this is the perfect list for you. But be careful -- we've thrown a few villains' names into the mix, too. Superheroes are synonymous with power, kindness, and courage -- admirable qualities for any mere mortal to have. Some comic book characters' names are common or familiar. But if you're looking for a name that packs a real punch, then consider a more unusual choice, such as Xavier.
