Origin[]

Once an ordinary scientist, his warnings were ignored and laughed at by the press. Driven mad by their mockery, he sought revenge by firing his invention, the Electrothanasia Ray, directly at their main building and the city around it. In the end, however, the weapon was destroyed and the Mad Scientist was put in jail.

The Mad Scientist is prone to kidnapping and property damage. Aside from his deadly laser, the Mad Scientist resided in a mountaintop hideout that provided a view of the city below. He also had a loyal minion - a pet vulture that aided him in his experiments.
