* Hepzibah of the [[Marvel Universe]]'s ''[[Starjammers]]'' comes from a [[Furries Are Easier to Draw| race of skunk-like humanoids]] who communicates using pheromones. The kicker? Humans can't detect them. However, her species does have vocal chords and can learn to speak in words, although [[You No Take Candle|she no take candle]].

* [[Alan Moore]] wrote a story for [[The DCU]] in which a [[Green Lantern]] has trouble communicating with a blind alien in a lightless region of space. The ring's [[Translator Microbes]] can't come up with equivalents for "green," "lantern," or about half of the other words in the Green Lanterns' oath.

* The [[Ultimate Marvel]] version of the Vision was built to warn alien cultures of <s>Galactus</s> Gah Lak Tus. In a case of [[Crazy Prepared]], she (yeah, [[She's a Man In Japan|Vision's a "she" in this continuity]]) can communicate with chemical enzymes, gravitational flux, microwaves, spacetime tears, and so on. All of which comes in handy when she fights one of Gah Lak Tus' components:
