The Alphabet: Q
Q is for QUIET PODOWSKI
Arthur “Quiet” Podowski was a much feared hit man for the organized crime syndicate Evil United. He got his nickname after an injury in his teens rendered him incapable of speaking in more than a whisper.
Podowski was a killer who hated using the same method over and over, so he varied his technique as much as possible. He might beat somebody to death with a golf club today, then poison his next hit with a rare plant extract, then do a third job using the ever popular 9 mm pistol. Quiet took great pride in his creativity.
Physically, Quiet was pretty average: 5′ 9”, 168 pounds, brown hair with a thin spot on top, brown eyes, unremarkable face. His only identifying mark was a scar across his throat, which is why he almost always wore a shirt and necktie.
Outside of his creativity at homicide, Podowski was of normal intelligence. In the end, he was not smart enough to outwit Detective X, the masked crimefighter. After letting Quiet think he had killed him in an explosion, Detective X tracked him back to Evil United HQ, where Quiet and at least 15 other criminals died in a shootout with police.
