Superhero name idea: "Necrospeech" just an idea but Deathvoice sounds a bit less cool than possible
DevonGronka
deathvoice sounds as incredibly lame as possible. Even "General Death!" (with the exclamation mark included) would be better.
Monstache
Honestly, that was a great read and really intriguing. However, they failed with the name. "Death's Voice" sounds better than Deathvoice

Basically. The entire supernatural world runs train on her because she's a sex vampire or some other bullshit.
TheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles
Neat premise, but Deathvoice is an awful name.
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
The character comments as much. Besides, it's a name given by the media, not the author of a comic book, i.e. not fancy-pancy scary name.
theGrantimus
But in a so awful it is kind of good sort of way
ForgottenTaco
and your suggestion ?
CobraClutch
True, but that is because the media named him in-story. I think "Vox" would work nicely. It's simply the word for voice and sounds like pox.

It just makes me think of Deathstroke

So, if deathvoice controls the dead with his voice... how does deathstroke do it?

Oh, also the last name Memeni, I think has a better ring to it. means "I remember" instead of "you remember". Mortimer Memeni.

good villain power would be the ability to control a living persons body against their will

that everyone within a few meters died horrible deaths and it took a matter of seconds.

That was a problem I saw with the premise. I feel like just about any power could be used for good. What's a 'villain' power?

I was thinking about a guy who could cause others to feel uncontrollable homicidal rage, directed at everyone except him. Would be hard to

use that kind of power "heroically", since you can't really DIRECT the violence. You just light the fire and watch it go.

Technically 2 second degree murders. The court would have a hell of a time proving he was responsible for necromancy. 7/10 writing

SIrEvilMustache
The writing prompt described it as a world of superhumans, so they probably have laws for that.

Self defence against a direct deadly threat, they'd probably let him off.

Self defense. They showed no hesitation in murder, were armed, and would be a threat until surrendered. Protection of self and others.

Da vinci was officially acused of necromancy, but if I remember my college history class correctly he was pardoned by pope alexander.

I'd assume it'd fall under breaking the rights of a body. Once dead, you can't do something to a body that the living wouldn't want 1/2

2/2 IE donating his organs when his will asked to be buried whole, or cremating instead of a burial

I would love to add 'Willing Zombie' under where my driver's license says 'Organ Donor'.
MrDustey
Well, you can donate your body to science, so there's a chance it could happen
PascalsBookie
self-defense aside. you caused 2 deaths. criminal statutes are intentional open-minded considering the causal connection and mens rea, (1/2)
PascalsBookie
(2/2) more interesting is classifying the dead for a civil suit. it's not property, it's not a juridical person, but (needed another 2/3)
