How do I pronounce...

[Crow]

Darkseid.

I never watched SuperFriends, ok? Is it like "Darkside" or "Darkseed" or "Darkseyd"?

I'm a retard...

[WhiteRabbit909]

It's Doug Seid, actually. (Just kidding :p )

[Funky Jett]

Side

[zaurial]

while we;re on the subject, how do you pronounce mxyzptlk? i said it mix-tel-pulk. is that right?

[Grappler]

Dark-Side

[Gamma Man]

Somewhere, long ago, I saw that it's supposed to be pronounced Mix-izz-pit-ulk. Can anybody back me up?

[Terman8er]

Darkseid = Dark Side

Thanos = NOT a long 'a'

Aren't there more out there?

[skeevo666]

I know Jay Leno once said if you prounounce it spidermun as one word and say it quickly it sounds Jewish . . . :)

<<I know Jay Leno once said if you prounounce it spidermun as one word and say it quickly it sounds Jewish >>

its like this : mixes-spit-lick

[imafineboy]

and what about thor's hammer?

[ThePope]

rahne = rain
thor's hammer - mjolnir = mee-yol-nir
mxyzptlk = miks-yeez-pit'l-ik
Darkseid = Dark-side

[costell2]

I thought it was Renee', as in Ra-nay for Wolfsbane. thanks for the correction.

Ah, yes. Now, I remember reading that after the other, far more incorrect, thing I had read. Thanks for the correction!

[Badges2]

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)?

[hourman]

Or the classic

Submariner

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

[Valandar]

"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".

[Grappler]

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

[Fat Ninja]

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.

[zaurial]

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.

[zapdos]

Ya can see him defeated in Superman & Bugs Bunny!

[Spock]

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

[TheFreak]

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.

[metzgarob]

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
