I see that Superman is using thunderclap now,

and I wonder who invented it first ? Hulk or Superman ?

Luke Cage,Juggernaut,Zoom(more of a snap),Black Adam,The Thing,Invincible,and others done Thunderclap also.

Hulk.. lol

Well, theres the superhero Thunderclap, but he succeeds Hulk so yeah...

I believe the Hulk was the first to do it. Unless someone can find one before this.

@feartheliving: I'm pretty sure Ancient Greek Gods had stories of cyclops things clapping with sounds of thunder and destroying ships etc... That was thousands of years ago.

@cable_extreme: Well if you find them be sure to post them...

@feartheliving: well. If he meant by comics, he wouldn't say invented, he would say implemented.

@cable_extreme: Continue reading.

Hence why I thought comics.

@feartheliving: edited

@feartheliving: I didn't notice that before, and his post says edited, so I am thinking that he must have added it.

So Hulk invented / implemented it first then ?

I know Superman has at least two thunderclaps post crisis and I vaguely recall one from the Pre-Crisis (specifically Silver Age).

Is that before 1962 ?

@erkan12: I don't know, as I said it's a vague recollection.

I'm pretty sure it was hulk.

Not sure who invented it, but clearly its been Hulk's trademark more than any other powerhouse character.

Hulk was probably thunderclappin' first. Hulk thunderclaps quite a lot. Superman almost never thunderclaps.
