Mad Scientists get in here!

[NeonSpider]

I think it's very likely I could become a mad scientist if given the chance. I have an insatiable curiosity. I want to see what will happen. If it comes between stopping the robot menace or powering them up, well, say hello to your new robot masters!

What kind of mad scientist leanings might you have? Perhaps you've always wanted to resurrect ancient dinosaurs? Maybe you want to genetically mix so many things together just to see what it'll become? Mind-control devices? Ripping holes in the space-time continuum? Maybe you're more suited to producing hideous monsters? Perhaps you have alien technology? Unbeatable weapons and armors? Research into regenerative capabilities? Or how about just sending ridiculous amounts of electrical current through stuff?

I think what truly makes a mad scientist interesting is their origin story.

Why did they go insane? Clearly they were brilliant minds, but something twisted them. Why should we care that he wants to do anything from kill a single man to destroy everything or anything?

From there, I'd prefer to have a sympathetic villain. That it makes SENSE why he's so pissed off, and in a way, we're kind of rooting for him.

I enjoyed Dr. Wily, but he isn't provided with any depth...though I love certain fan theories, and once I even made a fan comic that kind of dove into WHY he turned evil.

I think a really good example is Mr. Freeze from Batman, or rather what the 90's animated series did for the character...his frozen wife became a driving passion for his crimes against humanity. He had style, technology, he wasn't goofy and over-the-top like the later Arnold Schwarzenegger made him famous for.

i always thought that mad scientists were more afixed to the idea that there are no rules to science...
raising the dead... things that are comsidered crimes against nature or humanity or earth...

like hitler would have hired mad scientists to make weapons that were evil

frankenstine
the atomic bomb
spray can cheese

things that are just evil and should remain in the mind and never see light even in paper

Inventing an ultimatum computer virus would be my main goal, if I don't have anything else to worry about.

Something 100% more powerful than Stuxnet. Able to infect any electronic device. Superb evasion and impossible to remove.

It would only be cool if the virus uses every device as a cloud computing node and works like an AI.

If I was a mad scientist, I would study the effects of bad movies on the human psyche.

I've always had a lifelong ambition to make an army of flying monkeys (it was a running joke at school). I have a degree in biology specialising in genetics, and have written a number of stories for the very website about how I would go about achieving my goal.

I practice controlling my BioElectroMagnetism in the dark...
Animals can sense it. The damage left behind after days of concentrating, and straining
deduce my accountability for what I'm "seeing". (Due to partial psychosis, and delusional hysteria, brought on by exhaustion and drug influence) But the only way to see it, is to look beyond.
Also, I guess one day I should just tape it...

The guy behind Robot Chicken? That's not bad, actually.

I'd try something along the line of living plastic and tupperware, or something.
