| 11 | Creepy Thin Man |
Silent, But Deadly: Crispin Glover of Charlie's Angels
The "Creepy Thin Man" lived up to his namesake, taunting the Angels as an adversary of the first film and re-appearing even more creepily in the sequel, portrayed more as an anti-hero and love interest of Drew Barrymore.
An expert fighter and talented swashbuckler, CTM managed off a few disturbing screams and attempted speaking, before quickly meeting the end of the main antagonist's sword. Whatever morality the character clung to, one thing is certain: George McFly would not have approved.
| 10 | "Deadpool" |
Silent, But Deadly: Ryan Reynolds of X-Men Origins: Wolverine
We know, we know. It's not really Deadpool without the trademark wit and fourth-wall breaking banter. We don't know what the writers of Wolverine were thinking by transforming the merc with a mouth into a heavily mutated shirtless weapon with sealed lips, but here's hoping they get it right if Reynolds returns to the franchise for his own film.
You know, provided that whole Green Lantern thing doesn't really pan out.
| 9 | Wile E. Coyote |
Silent, But Deadly: Mostly mute, but occasionally voiced by Mel Blanc of Looney Tunes.
Ah, the deadly Wile E. Coyote. Intelligent, capable of expressing himself via sign-post, and making consistent large-scale purchases from the Acme Corporation always in the interest of felling a lone road-runner, his similarly silent target.
Nature's greatest predator.
