Zodon from PS238 is a five-year old version of this. His metahuman super-intelligence has given him an adult vocabulary (not to mention sense of cynicism), an encyclopedic knowledge of American law and an ability to build a doom laser out of some tinfoil and scaffolding, though on many levels he's still a five-year-old mentally. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. A Ditzy Genius to be sure, but like the title characters, he's nevertheless smart enough to invent anything in only a few hours, even to the point of flagrantly defying the laws of physics. In the remnants of the National Wrestling Alliance, "The Mastermind" Dave DuPont is an expy of Heenan, shifting between wrestler and manager.

And despair because the euphoria of the high (which gets less euphoric every time) was replaced by the exhaustion, nausea, and depression of the crash. Among meth addicts, these days are called “suicide Tuesdays” for reasons you can probably imagine. It becomes clear through Gage’s ideas that empowering people to create a possibility leads to a completely different, forward-thinking perspective being established. Consider “why no is never the answer…and failure isn’t final until you quit”. I know, intriguing concept, right? Tyrion Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire, an educated, smart, and calculating dwarf sort of qualifies. However, he wasn't really an ally of House Lannister and he was enemies with Tywin. He embodies this trope in his own organization, in which he is also the Big Bad. He isn't really that evil though.Hakase in Negima! Magister Negi Magi probably would have played this part in Chao's evil army if not for the fact that Chao was also an Evil Genius of an even higher degree. Still, this was essentially her role in that she was the one overseeing the ritual to remove the world's Weirdness Censor, not actually taking part in the battle Alien Mefilas, first seen in the original Ultraman series. He's one of the few monsters in the series to prefer cunning over physical strength, as he dislikes fighting and would rather take over Earth through manipulation instead. The skinny-bodied Pestilence in particular among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Under service to Lucifer, Pestilence heads a demon-run secret project to develop a strain of the Croatoan virus which infects hosts in seconds, so it can be distributed simultaneously across the country hidden inside a new vaccine rollout. What is it about genius that tortures so many who possess it? A Mad Genius if ever there was one, Hunter S. Thompson was asked how he created his unique brand of brilliance. His reply was inspired, if a little unnerving:“I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.” Choushinsei Flashman has Great Doctor Lie Köpflen. Similar to Deathmark and Kar up there, he's actually the Number Two of his organization, as he's the one who genetically engineered all of the other Mess generals, including The Dragon Leh Wanda.

Perales, J. C., and Shanks, D. R. (2007). Models of covariation-based causal judgment: a review and synthesis. Psychon. Bull. Rev. 14, 577–596. doi: 10.3758/BF03196807 Wild ARMs has the Mad Scientist demon Alhazad. Wild ARMs 4 has part-scientist, part-strategist Augst.Every industry has its sacred cows and accepted practices. These are often based upon foundational premises that are no longer valid--if they ever were. And in the prequel trilogy era, Nute Gunray and the Separatist Council fit the role as they are the brain of everything, and later when they are no longer needed, they are killed by their boss.

Kagaku Sentai Dynaman has General Kar, lead scientist and genetics expert of the Jashinka Empire. Similarly to Deathmark, he outranks the Empire's prince and Dragon Megiddo in both the Fantastic Caste System and Big Bad Aton's respect. Most psychology undergraduate students, if they are reasonably attentive, would recognize the mad-genius howler as a textbook case of the base rate fallacy ( Kahneman and Tversky, 1973). This common statistical sin, also known as base rate neglect, concerns the tendency to focus on specific information and ignore generic, baseline information, even when—and here is the rub—the latter is presented. Thus, people greatly underestimate the probability of a genius being totally sane and greatly overestimate the probability of an individual with mental illness being creative. The fact is that a very large proportion of creative people have no pathological symptoms ( Simonton, 2005, in press). Incidentally, the same reference point neglect occurs for insanity and violence ( Stuart, 2003). This link, too, is strongly negative, despite the perception we get from the media. Listening to this in audio form was a ton more enjoyable then those who are probably reading the book. Yes, he does say "Mad Genius" about 2000 times throughout the writing. And yes, after hearing it the first 1000 times, the concept of beginning to look for those new opportunities in obscure places does begin to sync in. Brian in Season 5, on account of being an OMN Administrator, though he's not really evil and he's only an antagonist because he's associated with Trent Donnovich.Wendell Levi is a Techno Wizard broken out of prison by Dr. Calvin Zabo to help get revenge on Agnet Coulson for killing Daniel Whitehall (Zabo wanted to kill Whitehall himself). In Agatha Christie's story " The Face of Helen", the villain is a brilliant chemist who specialized in poison gas during World War I, and attempts to murder the object of his unrequited love with an elaborate death trap involving a glass sphere full of gas and a Glass-Shattering Sound. The Artemis Fowl series is full of these, which makes sense, since the protagonist himself is a Teen Genius, and that requires antagonists to match. We have Artemis himself in book 1 (in his status as Villain Protagonist), Opal Koboi in book 2, Jon Spiro in book 3, Opal Koboi again in book 4, Minerva in book 5, Opal Koboi AGAIN in book 6. Turnball Root in book 7, and Opal yet AGAIN in book 8. Godzilla: King of the Monsters: Dr. Emma Russell appears to be a Reluctant Mad Scientist, forced to co-operate with the eco-terrorists against her will in using her invention to set Ghidorah and other Kaiju loose on the world. In actuality, she's acting entirely of her own free will because she believes she's saving humanity in the long haul.
