  • Straight: Alice's voice can fry people's brains if she hits just the right pitch.
  • Exaggerated: Alice can make people explode by whispering.
  • Justified: Alice has both cybernetic and genetic enhancements to make her a living weapon.
  • Inverted: A curse was placed upon Alice that makes anyone whose voice she hears die.
    • Alternatively: Alice can kill people with a glance, unless she speaks to them.
  • Subverted: It looks like Alice generates massive sonic booms with her voice but it's actually a device hidden in her backpack that does.
  • Double Subverted: ...though the device only enhances her natural abilities.
  • Parodied: Alice aspires to become a rock star but discovers that voice has random side effects on musical instruments.
  • Deconstructed: Alice accidentally kills her love interest Bob with her voice during their intimate moment and never speaks to anyone again.
    • Alice is not immune to her powers, and she goes deaf from excessive usage.
  • Reconstructed: Then, however, Charlie comes along, who has similar powers and is therefore immune to Alice's voice. Sparks fly and soon the two of them become a Battle Couple fighting crime with their sonic powers.
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Human voice cannot be used as a weapon.
  • Enforced: In a show about The Power of Rock, all lead singers get voice-based powers just because.

  • Invoked: "I can kill you with my voice, you know."
  • Defied: Alice's target puts in the ear plugs and turns on the active noise control.
