Basically Super Breath in reverse, a character takes a deep breath in order to draw various objects in along with the air, water, or whatever other substance they happen to be in. Ends up being rather unrealistic in most cases due to the sheer lung capacity that would be required to keep it going for long, let alone produce the strength of the suction that would be needed in order to draw in anything other then very nearby lightweight objects. Because of the indiscriminate nature of this ability, explosives and other inedible objects can potentially cause problems for its users.

  • Basically Super Breath in reverse, a character takes a deep breath in order to draw various objects in along with the air, water, or whatever other substance they happen to be in. Ends up being rather unrealistic in most cases due to the sheer lung capacity that would be required to keep it going for long, let alone produce the strength of the suction that would be needed in order to draw in anything other then very nearby lightweight objects. Often sees use from a lazy Big Eater or Extreme Omnivore to conveniently suck the food before them into their mouth without having to lift a finger. It's also sometimes used by predators for the purpose of devouring prey too elusive for them to catch physically. In animation, this may be accompanied by the sound of a vacuum cleaner and/or have the character's mouth take the shape of a vacuum nozzle for added humor. Because of the indiscriminate nature of this ability, explosives and other inedible objects can potentially cause problems for its users. Compare Breath Weapon, Weapons That Suck, and Tractor Beam.
