how do you pronounce Daken/Dormammu/etc

Kelbris

I'm not as into comics as some of the fan base here might be, so I'm pretty sure I've been saying these wrong.

Dah-kin and Door-mah-moo?

if anyone is as confused as I am on some of these pronounciations, feel free to ask about others (can't think of any though)

Haven't actually heard it aloud, but I pronouce it Dah (like german for yes) KEN (like the Street Fighter).

Dormammu = Door, Ma, Moo

Unknown

Thing is, even if you are into comics, you'll mostly see these names written down a lot more often than hearing them.

(I say Day-ken, but have no idea if that's correct, and pronounce Dormammu as above, with slight stress on the second syllable.)

It's pronounced the same it looks: DA-ken.

You can hear Dormammu say his own name in UMvC3, it's as pronounced above.

I'm too busy getting my **** kicked because I try to play it like street fighter instead of using air combos

Yeah, Daken is supposed to be a Japanese word, so it should be pronounced Dah-Ken

Pronounced like the 70s-80s metal band Dokken

It ain't rockin' if it ain't Dokken (or Daken)

Well... I like air combos. Still working on making it work in tournaments though. ;D

When he was intro'd in the comics, this is what I've always assumed his name referred to.

Glenn Danzig perma-scowl, leather pants, shirtless, full arm/pec tribal tat, mohawk...Marvel seemed to be going for an 80s metal/punk thing (or 90s pop thing co-opting an 80s metal thing).

I'd been wondering about this. No longer do I need to feel silly for saying Daken as darken.

While we're at it, what did Raiden shout in Mortal Kombat? It always sounded like High-umm-bubba-lay to me.

It's literally gibberish. Midway confirmed this on one of those "I Love the '90s" shows on VH1.
