there are a surprising number of kids who were raised as assassins, and for some reason the comics world thinks that growing up language deprived will make you really good at that. (I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that this is actually the least plausible origin story, and I think we all know how implausible that makes it. Yes, even less plausible than that one.)

Anyway, after hearing this I suggested to Eva that they all ought to form a crossover discussion group.

Eva: None of them talk!
Me: Hence the need for a group.

She's not convinced.

Colourblind snipers I knew about, and find interesting.

Then there’s the heroine of “All Cats Are Grey,” whose monochromatic vision allows her to *just* make out the invisible BEM (although Norton’s explanation is lamprey on the lines of ‘the creature was a colour that humans can’t perceive, so most people’s brains just cancel out the image).

There's a very good TOS novel where some white plastic chairs do not meet with Klingon aesthetic approval. (I'm thinking that it's in a different one than I'd been thinking. The mind is a wacky place.)

Not sure of the other novel's title, that one has [redacted parts of speech] the Klingon Empire.
