Super-breath is the ability to exhale concentrated volumes of carbon dioxide with extreme intensity. The effect is a mighty gust of wind that is strong enough to blow over automobiles, uproot trees and collapse houses. In speculative fiction, this is an ability common amongst the alien members of the Kryptonian race featured in comic book titles published by DC Comics, specifically, the Superman family of titles as well as its various media spin-offs and adaptations. All Kryptonians who are active in an environment where they can harness solar energy from a yellow sun possess this ability to some extent or another.
In the 1980 film Superman II, the three evil Kryptonians, General Zod, Ursa and Non used super-breath to create chaos in the streets of Metropolis.
In the 1983 sequel Superman III, Clark Kent used super-breath (masking it as a sneeze) to help Lana Lang's son Ricky score a spectacular strike at the bowling alley.
