Well, fuck. Really?
Did he just completely clown on Apocalypse?

I wish it showed what he said, cause I like to imagine Black Bolt just blows people up by whispering juvenile things like 'butts.'

Is it just Black Bolt's voice? Or is it any sound he makes with his mouth. Like can he make that teeth sucking sound? Blow raspberries? Whistle?

He makes a fart noise and Manhattan is flattened.

He one-shotted the Hulk once I believe. And managed to take down Magneto and the entire Brotherhood while in a weakened state.

It's technically supposed to be just his voice, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone's thought to be smart and have him blowup some stuff by clicking his tongue. I think people being smart the other way by letting him communicate through non-vocal sounds get slapped down by editorial.

And Hulk clowned him off-screen during World War Hulk. So yeah, he's either there to dunk or be dunked on as the plot requires.

Yes, thankfully Karnak told him how weak his first choice "Agaragon" sounded so he had to go with Blackbolt.

It seems like what we call "super-hero costumes" are an important part of the Inhuman culture that everyone else appropriated.

My favorite Black Bolt weirdness is that his powers are not sound based in nature. His words just cause Strange Cosmic Badness to occur. So he can tell a spaceship to gently caress off and it just gets vaporized despite being in a vacuum.

It's where Gene Simmons got the idea for his wings.

Hulk did a badass line in it though, I think it was set up by Medusa:

Medusa: "Black Bolt crush every bone in your body with a mere whisper."

(Black Bolt hits him with his whisper, thinks he's won, Hulk comes out of the rubble and grabs him by his mouth)

Hulk: "I don't want a whisper, I want to hear you scream."

The Earth X version died on a high note: A bunch of Celestials came down to Earth, sick of all the poo poo the humans mutants were up to. Black Bolt flew up into near space and started taking them on...alone. So he could call out to Galactus from across the universe for help. And he manages to destroy one of them during the fight before they absolutely annihilate him iirc.

Didn't Black Bolt also just suddenly find half a dozen "lost tribes" of Inhumans one day and marry the leader of each?

I'd think that would piss off Medusa just a little.

If I recall correctly, wasn't that when he was replaced with a Skrull, based on the timeline? I just like to think that it would have been way more awesome if it were actually Black Bolt (Wishful thinking, I know).

I'm guessing the Hulk has enough strength to hold Black Bolt's jaw shut if he lays hands on him, and at that point it's down to whether or not Black Bolt would (or even can) blow off his own jaw to scream the hulk into his constituent atoms.

Pretty sure "let's just shunt the Hulk off somewhere harmless" is how they got into that mess in the first place.

Nah. Bruce favors striking fear into his opponents. He wants them to know he's coming. Know they can't stop him. That he's planned every move out in advance. He wants to look them in the face as they realize their defeat.

That was one of the Galactus' that was Franklin, right?

He also once whispered "war" and blew up a US navy carrier battlegroup.

That'd be hard to do though. Dude's crazy strong, like Thing or Hulk levels of whomping. You'd need a hell of a hit to make him gasp.

Karnak could probably do it, but honestly, if you are that close to him and hitting him, when he gasps or goes "OOF" or whatever he does, you'd be dead anyway. Not exactly a great battle plan.
