Funny, but that description of Michael happens to bring to mind a very young Vito (in his 'prime'), slithering deftly across the roofs of his neighborhood, preparing to corner and 'strike' a completely unsuspecting Don Fanucci.
With whom he had just met at the coffee shop.
To tell the truth...all of them, Vito/Sonny/Michael are to be feared equally. Each will strike when necessary...the only difference between Sonny & the other two were his temperament and style. He didn't bother to think things through...which of course is what made him such a bad Don.
I don't really care about Vincent, as he was a fabricated bastard Corleone anyway.
