Before you commit to a DC Universe name, run it past these five questions the scribes keep at the long tables, and roll again if the answers do not line up with the tone, the era, and the role you are writing:

• Will the DC Universe name be used once, or reused across a series?
• Should the DC Universe name read as serious, playful, ominous, or ironic?
• Do you want the DC Universe name to feel old, modern, or timeless?
• Is the DC Universe name for an MC, an NPC, a party, or a side cast?
• Will the DC Universe name appear in poetry, prose, dialogue, or song?
