Legion of Doom
If you had to be a supervillain, what name would you use? The Barrister, who can project rays of elucidation or obfuscation, depending on his mood. Dragonfly is already is use, probably by more than one villain, but the insect is also called a Darning Needle, and that kind of works for another in that particular household. This diabolical pair have kids, too, and I suppose names for them must be employed as well, but I don’t know if I dare: it might get back to them. As per the Barrister’s comments previous, avoiding nomenclature based on physical characteristics is important, except, perhaps, insofar as it is descriptive also of behavior, but I’m going to leave off to apply more thought to the process before I get in too deep.
