History Main / SuperBreath

* In the first ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' live-action movie, ''Asterix & Obelik Takes on Caesar'', Obelix blows away a swarm of spiders by exhaling on them rather than try to cross the pit they're filling (as he'd rather not touch them). Note that he never demonstrated such an ability in the comics.

** In the anime, Gohan used his to put out a forest fire.

** SelfDemonstrating/{{Bizarro}} and ''ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}}'', on the other hand, as imperfect reverse-clones of both Kryptonian cousins, have "flame breath" that heats air. It's Bizarro's Vision-based attack power that lets him freeze anything.

* Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse: Superman gains a frost breath in both ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' and ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague''. He freezes Steppenwolf's axe with a sustained blow in the former, while in the latter he only needs a small puff to freeze the axe.

* Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse: Superman gains a frost breath in both ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' and ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague''. The trope is more applied in the former as he freezes Steppenwolf's axe with a sustained blow, while in the latter he only needs a small puff to freeze the axe.

* In Creator/TheBrothersGrimm story "How Six Men Went Far in the World", one of the heroes is a man who can blow gale-force winds out of his nose.

Theoretically, this would come hand in hand with SuperStrength, since 1) the strength of your breath relates to the strength of your diaphragm (which is a muscle); 2) the amount of air that is breathed out is often so immense in comparison to the breather's lungs (evident by how long such super-breathing tends to last) that it would have to be under absurdly high pressure to be contained within the lungs (which, consequentially, necessitates similarly high muscular power on part of the diaphragm to push out). It also makes since that a strong person would have great power and control over their breathing, since correct breathing technique is necessary to maximize lifting power and avoid injury.

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

** Being an alternate universe version of the aforementioned Supergirl, ComicBook/Powergirl also possesses super breath. She's used it to [[https://imgur.com/a/ZoVsLBB ice her way out of restraints]], [[https://imgur.com/a/lkJzbHf freeze and destroy a seemingly indestructible monster]], [[https://imgur.com/a/Vq5xqOA and reveal a cloaked base by covering it in ice]] and [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TrollXComics/comments/azlgfm/power_girl_casually_deals_with_a_flasher_power/ give an unwanted chill to a guy who made the mistake of flashing her]].

* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHasATextToSpeechDevice:'' Custodes seem to have hyper-powerful lungs, but we have only been shown their capacity once during one of Whammudes' vox-logs. Powerful enough to destroy a fungal infestation, [[spoiler:blast himself out of a tight dead-end pipe along with some unknown horror that had pinned him in there]], and [[SensoryAbuse utterly destroy the ears of people listening to his blown-in microphone]].

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).

* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]] has this power, naturally. He also discovers this from sneezing.

* ''Franchise/DragonBallZ'':

* Naturally this is one of power to all the Kryptonian, powered by sun, in the Dc universe.
