Just asking, but is "mxyzptlk" the true way to spell it? I know about the character from the old Superman show (70's) and the new one (90's). I never read the issues he was from though. So, can someone give me the comic origin rundown. And what powers would he have (clix-wise)?

Or the classic

Submariner

Sub-mare-in-er vs Sub-marine-er

"Mix-is-PIT-il-ik"...

And it's been spelled Mxyzptlk for a long time. The voice actors on the old Super-Friends just couldn't say that or "kil-it-IP-six-im".

According to Stan Lee in his video interviews, "Sub-mare-in-er"

Gotta admit I have no idea with most of these, but I'm 99% sure ThePope got mxyzptlk right - miks-yeez-pit'l-ik - because I remember Superman actually explaining to someone how to pronounce it one time in an issue of Man of Steel I think. For some reason i spent a good deal of time memorising that pronunciation. I truly had too much time on my hands.

Incidentally I'm pretty sure Darkseid is indeed darkside, but I can't stop myself from saying it Darkseed. So I've given up trying.

according to the ultimate guide to superman, it's mix-yez-pittle-ick. or... ki-littip-zey-ksim. that;s just what i heard. but, i still think sabretooth is said sa-bray-tooth.

Ya can see him defeated in Superman & Bugs Bunny!

I generally read mxyzptlk as mix-pittle-ick, don't ask me why...that name really needs some vowels!

i agree with ThePope on all but Rahne. since I'm watching X Men evolution as I type this, it's said like Ron. she was just addressed, told not to run in the halls.

theres a hoyle word game demo i played once and the computer opponent actually mentions mr.mxyzptlk a few times, wich i thought was pretty cool
