What A.H. ("action hero") has the most intimidating name?
Sure you want to know? Read the rankings:

The initimidation factor must be based on non-onomastic factors.
(What's that Greek thing like onomatopoeia where a word's form or meaning
is influenced in some way by its sound? Or is that something I just
imagined?)
