    "The Kabuki Twins (The Batman)
    Silent? Yes, which is ironic given that they're named after a type of opera."
    Kabuki is not "a type of opera". It is a form of avant-garde dance-drama. It has music in it but to call it a type of opera is like referring to a sculpture by Michelangelo as a type of manikin.

    @Bill-Lee: Can something that's been around before Columbus got his feet wet be properly called avant garde?

    @ShampaBabbit: I almost included Boba Fett, because he doesn't speak much more than a lot of folks on the list, but the truth is, every time I think of him, I think of this.

    I think Aman's wife from Survive Style 5+ would be a good addition to this list, she may not be deadly but she is very dangerous and pretty creepy at times

    I wish the old Aeon Flux was silent. That ridiculous dialogue and foot fetishes bogged down the old series.

    I always thought Snake-Eyes (at least in Larry Hama's hands) was a really well-done tragic hero. G.I. Joe #21 may be my favorite comic ever.
