Are you asking for character names for the superheroes (LaffyTaffy Lad, Mister Butterfingers) or the kids (Bob, Aki, Gaetano)?– Lauren-Clear-Monica-IpsumFeb 19, 2016 at 22:34

@Lauren Ipsum I am looking for both.– WritingNerdFeb 19, 2016 at 22:36

The answer really depends on the type of names you're looking for. You could you a tool like thenamestork.com to set a general name 'feeling' and get matching recommendations.– RoyJul 9, 2016 at 10:33

What type of candy is it? Are there different flavors? Were the candies the same that all four kids ate?
You could do different colors/flavors perhaps. And the different flavors make for different superpowers.
Here are some ideas:
- Red Juiceberry
- Turquoise Taffy
- Green Slimesuck
- Crack Caramel
- Red Poprock
- Roasted Poprock
- Salted Chew
- Sweet Purpleblast
- Flavorblast
Are these what you're looking for? The candies could also bring out the kids' natural personalities. For example, if one of the kids had a bad temper, it could enhance that trait and make him extremely fiery (lots of attitude, anger issues, etc.).
I like the idea of 3 rhymed names and a discordant one. A retro example would be
Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde (Pac-Man)
And a modern example (from Nickelodeon):
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn
These sorts of things flow well with children's characters.
