Hm, nice basic work, just some things needed.
Blur the sprite in general, it looks slightly pixelated.
Shade the shoes.
Shade the right (our left) side of that coat.
The hair looks slightly odd, it's really light on one side and then becomes dark instantly, so give it a bit of anti-aliasing (is that how you spell it, i never seems to get it right >.<)
Try to remake the face, you can notice some from the original chars (can't see who :P)
Make the arms on the coat wider just by the hands, because now it looks very tight and somehow odd.
And about the name, i actually like "Thor". But that would require you to give him lightning powers, and probably a hammer too.
Otherwise:
James
Carl
Edmund

It really has to do with your computer, because if it slows down on Firzen's explosion, then it's quite slow. Most attacks are however not that object-spamming.
