Speaking triggers a massive disturbance in the form of a highly destructive shockwave capable of leveling a city. Due to the extreme danger posed by this power, the character has undergone rigorous mental training to prevent himself from uttering a sound, even in his sleep, and he usually remains completely silent and speaks through sign language or via a spokesperson. Since his debut, Black Bolt has been labelled as one of Marvel's most notable heroes and one of the most powerful members of the Inhumans.
