The NATO phonetics are so tired and old. This one uses popular fictional characters instead:

Aladdin Buffy Cruella Dorothy Edward Fiona Gandalf Hulk Igor Joker Kermit Lilo Mufasa Naruto Olaf Pikachu Quark Rapunzel Scoobie Tigger Ursula Vegeta Wolverine Xena Yoda Zorro

Unfortunately, Xena has got to go. There’s no phonetic difference with Z. Xavier might be your best bet, but that’s a tough one.

Edit… Quebec and Kilo in the NATO one give me pause, though. Maybe Xena can stay after all.

    Yeah, I really racked my brain on that one. There is a superhero named Xray, but it isn't a satisfying option. Xavier is actually really good, I don't know why I didn't think of that, professor X, easy to remember.
