In comic books certain sound effects are associated with certain comic book characters.
For instance, Wolverine’s “snikt” when the blades come out, or the sound of Nightcrawler teleporting-“Bampf!”.
Any others?
Thwip.
I often say Snikt! when I pull my favorite cooking knife out of its holder. Because chopping up vegetables is the closest I have to a superpower.
BIF, BAM, and POW! will always make me think of the Batman TV show.
I just put down a Silver Age Atom comic, where a huge explosion was overlaid with “BA-BA-BOOM!” and I couldn’t help hearing that in Desi Arnez’s voice, like “Baba-Looey!” I thought “That would’ve been more effective without a ‘caption’ over it.”
(Who knew I’d be able to get *czarcastic *about it ten minutes later. Thanks, Czarcasm!)
“Zot!” from the anteater in B.C., and when the Wizard of Id throws lightning bolts.
Nitpick: it’s “Bamf.”
In addition to those two iconic X-Men sounds, for me, there’s also various iterations of “Boooooom / Badoooom / Crackathoom” when Thor sets off a big lighting blast.
“Boom” when Billy Batson turns into Captain Marvel.
Not exactly superheroes or comic books, but I can’t stop myself from linking to this alphabetical list of Don Martin sound effects.
Here’s a visual smatteringof those…
Jimmy Olsen’s signal watch goes Zee-zee-zee

Mattel should market a “Superhero See-And-Say”
The Spider-Man goes “Thwip”
Hello comics my old friends
I’ve come to read you again
Like Vision softly creeping
It left it’s plot lines while I was sleeping
And the fan theory that was planted in my head
Still remains
And with it the sounds of superheroes
The new god’s boom tube, is named onomatopoeiacally.
Mr. Miracle’s Mother Box: “Ping! Ping! PING!”
ping -Mother Box
pop -Ambush Bug
" " -Cheeks, The Toy Wonder
Rorschach: Hrm.
So, the New Gods’ greatest technology is the machine that goes “Ping!”?
Charlie, from Finieous Fingers: . . . Hmmmmm . . .
“Uh-cuckoo! Uh-cuckoo!”
