      With his benzo habit, I’m looking forward to him becoming an anti woke SoundCloud rapper with a supervillain Schtick. He can team up with the cosplayer who designed captain ancap.

        JP becoming right wing MF Doom is both so stupid it couldn't ever happen and so stupid it's the only thing that could happen next.

          It would be so fucking funny, he could be a villain with a power to clean rooms (as a metaphor for society, his tragic failing being unable to become clean himself.

        Who thought the name Captain Ancap was any good in the first place? Say that out out. It's a syllabic palindrome and just feels bad to say and sounds worse. Which is appropriate but like Ancapman. NAPtain Ancap would be at least sorta clever and give him a characteristic.

          I thought palindromes were good because it allows the reader to assume it was planned

            I'm also gonna use this as a chance to post my favorite real palindromes:

            "Go deliver a dare vile dog"

            "Borrow or rob"

            "Egad alas a salad age"

            "Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo"

            Syllabic palindromes are usually the opposite. They're generally tongue twisters to a point and always sound awkward.

              The intentionality though, it displays creative use of language

                It's pretty much always by accident if it's that awkward out loud. Especially in this case as a Superhero name. If you're making up a Superhero shouting "never fear (name) is here!" is a good test. If it sounds bad maybe change it

                  Superheroes are from a written format though

                    So is poetry, how words sound should stipple be considered in your writing. I didn't read Captain Ancap literally out loud, it sounded awkward in my head.

                      Huh, the hard c into c gave it a symmetry my brain found pleasing despite the meaning. It rolls into itself.

                          The an in captain is pronounced different tho, it’s not capt-an

                          Or am I pronouncing the an in ancap harder with the a than I should?

        "Captain Ancap and Doctor Benzo" would be a good capeshit franchise.
