    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?
