Superhero Cat Names – 110+ Epic Ideas
Last updated: by Jessi LarsonWhen you get a new cat, you’re welcoming a new family member and need a proper name before introducing it to others. So why not explore superhero cat names?
Superhero cat names are strong, adventurous, and full of personality. And there are a plethora of ideas to choose from!
If you’re a massive fan of comics and superhero films, you absolutely must explore these epic and extraordinary names.
Of course, you can go about this two ways – by picking a name or character you love or by selecting a name or character that suits your cat.
The latter will take some time. But, first, you’ll want to assess your feline’s personality to find out just which superhero they are most like.
Remember that there is power in a name, so maybe your choice will be more about what you hope your kitty will emulate. In that case, it’s more about the characteristics you love the most about your favorite superhero and less about the cat’s nature.
This list is sure to put you on the right path as you go about choosing the perfect moniker for your new furry friend.

How Do You Pick The Right Name?
Here’s an important question: how do you know if you’ve picked the right name for your cat?
After years of helping new cat owners find the perfect name, here are some tips we’ve picked up along the way:
- Is it easy to say? Some names are great on paper but tough to pronounce in everyday life. Before you become set on a name, make sure it rolls off the tongue because after all, you’ll be saying it many times a day once the cat joins your family!
- Does it fit your cat? Check to see if the name matches your cat’s personality and appearance before committing to a name.
- Say it out loud. Can you imagine calling for your cat with this name? If not, then it’s not the right choice. Move on and select something more appropriate.
- And finally, trust your gut. Ask any new cat owner: when you find the right name, you’ll know it!
