    Mr. Mxyzptlk

    Character » Mr. Mxyzptlk appears in 641 issues.

    Mr. Mxyzptlk is a fifth-dimensional imp with the power to do anything that he can imagine. He could transform Superman into ashes or erase him from existence, but where's the fun in that?

    How does anyone remember how his name is spelled?

    I figured out a way to remember. After seeing him in superman the animated series and he tells superman how to say his name by saying "Mix, Yes, Spit, Lick" you pretty much take out the vowels, switch the S for a Z, and lose the C. Mxyzptlk.

    I never heard his name as voice, but Italians used to put random arrangements of consonants to form intricate words. So I just got used to memorize such things like a poem. You pretty much never forget one if you do it like that.
