I have not filled out anything resembling a Japanese form for a while... and didn't give them much thought when I did. However...

Almost always katakana version of English words.

So do any of those names from above sound okay in Japanese kanji for a

superhero's name? I understand that one would most likely just transliterate

them, but do any of them sound okay to be a name? Please tell me what you

think...

Thank you.

 

[pipokun]

Yes, it sounds ok to me as long as they are the transliterations.
just minor correction
Vortex - 竜巻 tatsumaki - ヴォーテックス vootekkusu ヴォルテックス
good luck

Just so I understand everything, please check over my revised informational form. Tell me if everything looks as if it were on a form. Also please correct my transliterations.

How do you say "favourite colour, element (eg: air, water), quote"? What is the word for 'powers'? I've seen it as 性能 and also as nooryoku and chikara in my dictionary. What is it?!

Thanks a lot for all of your help!

What is the word for 'powers'? I've seen it as 性能 and also as nooryoku and chikara in my dictionary. What is it?!

I'd say your best bet is 能力. That seems to be the most common in my experience with anime/manga/video games.
