* An issue of ''ComicBook/TheBatmanAdventures'' has Commissioner Gordon seeking out a crime informant named "Wiesel". Gordon, like every other character this man had ever encountered, pronounces the name to rhyme with "weasel". He tries to tell Gordon that the accent is on the second syllable, but gets cut off.
* Franchise/SpiderMan goes out of his way to point out you gotta "pronounce" the hyphen so it's two words ("Spider Man") and tends to get up in arms whenever someone pronounces it as one whole word ("Spiderman"). Apparently, it makes it seem like a Jewish last name or something to that effect.
* Writer Christopher Priest added a recurring character named Dr. Vilain during his run on ''ComicBook/{{Steel}}''. The doctor wasn't really evil, just ruthless, and would constantly remind people. "It's French, it's pronounced 'will-HAYN'".

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'''s prequel book ''[[Recap/TheOrderOfTheStickStartOfDarkness Start of Darkness]]'', BigBad Xykon repeatedly corrects people who spell his name "Zykon"... even in their speech balloons. It's possible that the two names actually are pronounced differently, though.
* [[MadScientist Dr. Venom]] of ''ComicBook/TransformersVsGIJoe'' insists his name is pronounced "Phe-nom".
* In ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'', John Constantine has on several occasions explained to people that the last syllable of his name is pronounced to rhyme with "line", not "lean". Despite this, live-action and animated adaptations have used the American pronunciation.
