History SuperScream / ComicBooks

** Post-Flashpoint Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} displays this on occasion, first when attacked by the PoweredArmour wearing mooks of [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Simon Tycho]], then when fighting Black Banshee, and later when she accidentally shatters a windowpane. He specifically notes it and mocks it as a pale reflection of his own powers, before giving her a demonstration.

He specifically notes it and mocks it as a pale reflection of his own powers, before giving her a demonstration. Ironically, Silver Banshee is one of her best friends.

* Long time {{Franchise/Superman}} foe Silver Banshee is not only loud, but if she knows your real name, then hearing her scream results in instant death. She can't kill Supes because she doesn't know his real name, Kal-El. She can still blow out his eardrums, though.
** Fellow banshee Jeanette, of the ComicBook/SecretSix, can leave you comatose with her screams.
* {{Franchise/Superman}}, usually only displayed when he loses someone close to him.
** In ''Comicbook/FinalCrisis'', [[spoiler: Superman finally kills ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} by screaming so loud that the evil god shatters. The effort nearly ruins Supes' vocal cords.]]
** The New 52 version of {{ComicBook/Supergirl}} displays this on occasion, first when attacked by the PoweredArmour wearing mooks of [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Simon Tycho]], then when fighting Black Banshee. He specifically notes it and mocks it as a pale reflection of his own powers, before giving her a demonstration.

** Most obviously, there's 90's villain Shriek.

* ''Comicbook/SpiderMan'' villain Shriek. Also, Phil Urich, the heroic Green Goblin was indicated to have a "[[EvilLaugh Lunatic Laugh]]" that leaves people stunned in pain and is powerful enough to harm symbiotes, which are [[AchillesHeel weak to sonics]]. Interestingly, the power was premised on the idea that the Green Goblin (whoever he/she was) had a creepy high-pitched voice, but more recently, the Green Goblin is presented as EvilSoundsDeep.
** Now that Phil is the current ''Hob''[[LegacyCharacter goblin]] he's back as a cackling, shrieking villain.

* The all-time champion is probably Marvel's [[ComicBook/TheInhumans Black Bolt]] who can level buildings just by whispering due to the fact his voice isn't just super-sonic but actually causes massive disruptions in electrons. When he declares war, he's not mixing metaphors. In an AlternateUniverse, he committed genocide by yelling at the top of his lungs. However, since he cannot actually control it -- as in ''any'' whisper from him will destroy buildings, etc. -- this makes his position as King of Attilan and leader of the Inhumans extremely reliant on his [[KissingCousins cousin and wife]] Medusa's ability to read his body language. He's gotten so good at laser-guided body language that characters have commented on how uncanny it is that they always know what he means.

* In ''[[Comic/{{Buzz}} Buzz!]], this is the power of the Spelluminati champion. The sound of their screams is enough to temporarily deafen the Black Queen. [[spoiler:It doesn't affect Webster though, because the champion is also his sister and thus he's used to her screaming at him.]]

** Also Shy Crazy Lolita Canary of the SuperYoungTeam.

* ComicBook/BlackCanary, member of the JusticeLeagueOfAmerica and ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey, pictured on the opening page, with her "Canary Cry".
** Similarly, Lady Lark from ''SquadronSupreme,'' an {{Expy}} of Black Canary.

* The ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'s'' Sean Cassidy aka Banshee and his daughter Theresa aka Siryn. Screaming also lets them fly, [[NotQuiteFlight somehow]]. Oh, and they can [[TalkingIsAFreeAction talk while using it]]. Hilarity ensued in the animated series when Banshee had to give {{Wolverine}} a ride.

* [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Melissa_Gold_(Earth-616) Songbird]] of the {{Thunderbolts}} in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse was formerly Screaming Mimi, who had traditional sonic powers. After her lover, Angar the Screamer (whose screams could induce hallucinations) died, she screamed so loud that she essentially melted a forest and blew her throat out. Zemo recruited her and gave her a harness that turned her screams into energy constructs, using technology pirated from the supervillain Klaw, who does the same. Of course, Klaw was not thrilled to learn of this theft... Later on, in the New Thunderbolts title, Songbird temporarily lost her powers while using them to hold up the UN building, but eventually got her voice back.

* The ''{{Wolverine}}'' story "Roar" features a beast whose roar is so powerful it leaves an entire town with bleeding ears, and when Wolverine shows up he has to keep regrowing his eardrums to fight it.

* HowardTheDuck's enemy Doctor Bong uses sonic weapons, but he doesn't shout. Rather, his helmet is shaped like a bell, while his severed right hand is replaced by a giant clapper; by striking the bell-helmet with the clapper, he produces dangerous sonic projectiles.

* The ''GlobalGuardians'' had the Taiwanese [[BaldOfAwesome Liang]] [[BareFistedmonk Xih-k'ai]] aka Thunderlord, a ReligiousBruiser who could not only use sonic screams but also imitate voices and sounds. His shout could shatter an entire building.

** In ''Comicbook/FinalCrisis'', [[spoiler: Superman finally kills {{Darkseid}} by screaming so loud that the evil god shatters. The effort nearly ruins Supes' vocal cords.]]

* While not shouting, exactly, of worthy note is [[http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Rot_Lop_Fan_(New_Earth) Rot Lop Fan]], a Franchise/GreenLantern. Well, sort of. Rot Lop Fan is a member of a blind species that has no concept of sight, color, or even what a lantern is. To make his constructs, he has to envision types of sound instead, and is the only member of a proud Green Lantern sub-organization, the F# Bell Corps. He's got his own version of the BadassCreed because if your planet's so far from its sun your race has no concept of light, a motto about "brightest day," "blackest night," and "green lantern's light" really doesn't work - good luck even trying to explain to him what any of that means.
-->"''In loudest din, in hush profound
-->My ears catch evil's slightest sound.
-->Let those who toll out evil's knell
-->Beware my power, the F-Sharp Bell!''"

* Former ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' member Herald gained this power through a super voice box. Unfortunately, as Vox, he can't turn it off -- while he can control sound, anything he actually ''says'' will kick the ass of the entire area. Not as bad as Black Bolt, though -- see below.

* Marvel's [[ImmortalIronFist Iron Fist]] ranks the "Silent Scream" among his "upper-tier abilities". A hypersonic attack that can KO an entire room of thugs, it also leaves him unable to speak for a month.

* The ''GlobalGuardians'' had the Taiwanese [[BaldOfAwesome Liang]] [[BareFistedmonk Xih-k'ai]] aka Thunderlord, a ReligiousBruiser who could not only use sonic screams but also imitate voices and sounds.
