10 Human Comic Book Anti Heroes You Don't Want To Mess With... Ever!
10. Silver Sable
Marvel Comics
Silver Sablinova is currently busy making waves on the PS4 with Insomniac's Spider-Man, but she's been fostering a reputation for intensity long before.
Introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #265, Silver Sable quickly established herself as a no-nonsense mercenary willing to do whatever to get the job done. This immediately put her at odds with others in the superhero community, most notably Spider-Man, but over time the pair have developed into close allies, with Sable utilising her mercenary group - the Wild Pack - to help Spidey out on a few occasions.
In any case, there's no getting away from Sable's skill. Proficient in knives, firearms and hand-to-hand combat, Sable is a modern mercenary for a modern environment, and one you definitely wouldn't want to cross at any point.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
