History Main / SuperBreath

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Luffy's [[RubberMan rubber body]] means that he can inhale as much air as he wants. His Gum-Gum Storm attack involves him inflating himself with so much air that he becomes large and balloon-like in appearance, twisting his body to increase pressure, and exhaling with a force so strong that it launches him into the air like a torpedo.

* ''Manga/KongohBancho'': How [[spoiler: Nenbetsu Bancho]] ''really'' attacks. Kongoh Bancho is smart enough to realize this (by piecing together the clues in the attacks) and neutralizes them.

* Marsha Holloway in Film/ZoomAcademyForSuperheroes is eventually revealed to have this power. It's [[SuperCuteSuperpowers glittery with a rainbow effect]].
* ''Film/SupermanReturns'': Superman uses his breath to blow out a house fire, and then later on a much larger fire in the broken gas lines of Metropolis.

Great power and control over one’s breathing is also associated with CharlesAtlasSuperpower and SupernaturalMartialArts, the implication being that secret breathing techniques can unlock the full potential of the human body. Even in the mundane realm of real life, breathing techniques are an essential foundation of power and endurance in many physical disciplines such as boxing and weightlifting.

* ''WesternAnimation/The3LittlePigsTheMovie'': How Big Boss blows away Wally and Beemo’s houses, although when he tries it on Feeno’s house, like the original, he can’t muster up a strong enough breath to take it down. When he tries to give it a second go with a bigger breath, a particularity sadistic bee decides to get itself inhaled and sting him from the inside, causing Big Boss to try getting in some other way.

It often overlaps with MakeMeWannaShout. If it works in reverse, it's VacuumMouth. See also BlowYouAway and BreathWeapon (for some reason (we blame Franchise/{{Superman}}), a lot of people who have this power tend to make it Icy as well).

-->-- ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''

* ''Manga/KongohBancho'': How [[spoiler: Nenbetsu Bancho]] ''really'' attacks. Kongoh Bancho is smart enough to realize this (by piecing together the clues in the attacks) and neutralizes them.
* In ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'', Carnage Kabuto [[AttackReflector repels]] one of Genos' hand laser beams by blowing it away.

* Howler in Hanna-Barbera's ''Drak Pack''. The cartoon's premise is that a pack of descendants of traditional movie monsters Fight Evil to make up for said ancestors' crimes. Howler is a descendant of the Wolfman, so presumably he has super breath by association with "the Big Bad Wolf".

** ''ComicBook/SensationalSheHulk'': In issue #16, She-Hulk puts out a camp fire she and her friends used to keep warm by blowing it out.

* ''Manga/DragonBallZ'':

* How [[spoiler: Nenbetsu Bancho]] ''really'' attacks in ''Manga/KongohBancho.'' Kongoh Bancho is smart enough to realize this (by piecing together the clues in the attacks) and neutralizes them.

* As an homage to Superman, Thermoman from ''Series/MyHero'' has "Thermo-breath", which can add or remove heat with his breath, as well as simply exhaling powerful gusts.

** Franchise/{{Superman}} can create hurricane force winds by blowing, and also chill his breath to freeze a target. He can also breathe in large amounts of air to dispel clouds of gas by exhaling it. Superman has also the ability to survive indefinitely underwater or in space.

** Franchise/{{Supergirl}}: Kara is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.
** In ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'', Linda blows the dust off her bedroom... literally.

* OlderThanRadio: The Big Bad Wolf in the folk tale ''The Three Little Pigs'', and most retellings.
