Quiet Bill (William Krimpton) is a mutant in the Marvel Comics universe, an ally of the X-Man Gambit. First appearing in Gambit vol. 3, #3 (April 1999), the character was created by Fabian Nicieza and Steve Skroce.

Within the context of the comics, Quiet Bill is a mutant who can open portals between dimensions. Coming to the notice of the enigmatic New Son, the mutant known as Courier is employed to retrieve Quiet Bill and his friend Huey. The New Son sought to employ Bill's talent to find a dimension to which he could flee.

Bill is discovered living in an alley dubbed "Onslaught Alley" by Courier and Gambit. Bill and Huey are trapped between dimensions when the New Son's Crystal Cathedral is destroyed.

Quiet Bill loses his powers during the M-Day, and is murdered by Riptide of the Marauders.

Famous quotes containing the words quiet and/or bill:

    It was a quiet Sunday morning, with more of the auroral rosy and white than of the yellow light in it, as if it dated from earlier than the fall of man, and still preserved a heathenish integrity.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Chippenhook was the home of Judge Theophilus Harrington, known for his trenchant reply to an irate slave-owner in a runaway slave case. Judge Harrington declared that the owner’s claim to the slave was defective. The owner indignantly demanded to know what was lacking in his legally sound claim. The Judge exploded, ‘A bill of sale, sir, from God Almighty!’
