Sonic projection

Sonic projection is a super-power which involves the concentrated projection of sound waves for the purpose of offensive attack. This ability has appeared in various media, mostly in comic book/superhero fantasy as well as sci-fi related animated fare. There are also a plethora of fictional technological devices that can perform similar functions.

In the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert, the main protagonist Paul Atreides developed an ability to harness his voice as a vocalized sonic weapon. This ability became a quintessential benefit when Paul assisted the Fremen in their struggles against the sandworms and the forces of House Harkonnen. As Paul himself intoned, "My name is a killing word".
