I'd name her "Lucy" after the Australopithecus fossil found in the 70's. You could give her the last name Taieb after the guy who directed the excavation.

Any superhero whose powers are magically based, in a world that allows magic, are fine. :P

And I was poking fun anyhow. Sheesh. But really, coating people with Amber? The Gemological Institute of America would be her Arch Nemesis.

Hmm, gives off an "m" aura to me as well... How about Marie? Marlene? Or Melissa, as already suggested? Last name obviously depends on her ethnicity, but something simple and common would sound cool and contrast her later use of the superheroesque name nicely, in my opnion. How about Melissa Thompson?

They should just form a special force to follow her around and confiscate everyone she turns into amber:
"It's all for the greater good - we'll turn this guy over to the police once we've brushed every milligram of amber off of him."
Warning: This poster regularly makes unintentionally sexual posts. Or at least "unintentional" is what she claims...

That special force could then start to confiscate Amber from wherever it's found, not just this superhero's emissions.

Eventually, they'd be the DeBeers of the Amber world. They'd have a lock on the market, and would stiffle competition. They would murder people trying to get around their ruleings, and so reduce the amount of material on the market that it's value would skyrocket.

Then, someone would kidnap this superhero's family, to force her to make amber for them. The enemy would become an ally, freeing the superhero and taking the hapless would-be monopoly buster away, never to be found.

... actually, I'm starting to really like this character. :D

They'd also have to launch a DeBeers style ad campaign to drive up demand. "Amber is forever." "Amber is a girl's best friend." "This year, give her amber."
Could make for some interesting billboards and TV ads in the background.
Not to mention Hollywood starlets wearing extravagant borrowed designer amber jewelry to awards shows.

I wonder if they could capture Amber as a trademark, and then sue the superhero to make her change her alias?

And all the simulated amber, off-color amber and amber chip jewelry on the Home Shopping Channel.

*makes an off-color amber joke*
This webcomic, seen here is hosted on the free web host Comic Genesis which pretty much proves its not popular.

"Amber? I barely know her!"
I set my ATM card's number to "0001" because I'm number one!
