I mispronounced Mxyzptlk forever. I wanna say it was The Animated Series that set me right.
Even though I know the word for some reason I want to pronounce "Maestro" Hulk as "MYestro".

Oh man, I hate "Mixelplick"'s pronunciation from Super-Friends so much! He's fine as a character, his name is just, you know, not "Mixelplick"!
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."

I still don't know how to say it.

I'm guessing you're american.
From here in England, it looks like Americans don't actually have an "o" sound at all - and either use "ah" or "aw" in it's place.
So to us, "aunt" is pronounced "ahnt" (the same as aren't) - never "ont" - but I think that's probably what you're talking about.
For me personally it's:
Zat-ann-a, not Zat-ah-na
A-qua-man not Ah-qua-man
Loo-thur not Loo-thor
Ones I got wrong:
I thought "Lois" was pronounced l-oy-ss
I thought Andy Helfer was Andy Hefler.
I just didn't heve a clue about Doug Moench (now know it's pronounced Mench)
As a kid I always mispronounced Saturn Girl’s name Imra as Irma or Er-ma in my head.
Also mutant as mute-nant.
For years, I mispronounced Despero. I called him 'Despair-o'. Then I saw a cartoon which properly called him 'DESSpero'
Until this century, I always pronounced Shiera or Shayera as SHEER-uh.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, for years I thought that Amazo was pronounced the same way at the rainforest, or Wonder Woman's people, if you just took off the "N" on the end and gave it a long O: "Am-uh-zoe". I didn't realize it was pronounced "Amaze-Oh" until I saw the animated Batman: Under the Hood.
To this day I don't know how anyone was supposed to know it's pronounced "Amaze-Oh" by reading the word.
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
When Starfire made her debut in the New Teen Titans, I was puzzled on how to pronounce "Koriand'r". Finally, I decided on "coriander", like the herb, or, just plain "Kory".

Heh. Totally forgot I started this other day. I guess I was a little buzzed. lolz.
Anyway....
Same. Probably called him Sub-marEEner all the way to HS.
It took me awhile to go from RAH's All Gull to RAZE Owl Ghoul. I think that's right? lolz.
ZUH Taw NA for me.
Yup. Did the ChamAlon Boy thing too. I could make a whole separate post about the Legionaires real names and home planets. I couldn't look in a dictionary to figure those out like a lot of other words when I was a youngin'. lolz.
I still struggle with that one. Neither really sounds right to me.
Regarding Mxyzptlk....I'm a Mixelpick guy. It's just easier.
Did not know that. Been Moe-Ench my whole life. Huh.
