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:

    During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.”
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Little Bill Daggett: I don’t deserve this. To die like this. I was building a house.
    Will Munny: Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.
    David Webb Peoples, screenwriter. Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman)
