@icelight: On the upside, as Italian mad scientists their minions will be very fashionably attired and their mean enemy is certain to be a sexy super-spy.

@Charlie Jane Anders: Oh, and in the script, he should actually be referred to as "Wang Chung Guy", or "WCG"

@Charlie Jane Anders: Wang Chung Guy! Nooooooo!!!

@Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.: Introducing the Bathlet: The Batleth for every bathroom in your house! With stainless coating and no-slip grips, the Bathlet is the perfect addition to any shower. Never worry if you've left your weapon in the tub again! Clean away hard water residue the warrior's way. It can all be yours…

I love that movie. I remember when it was released, I saw a panel at some local con with the cast. Little did we know that one day David Hayter would become one of the hidden nerd-kings, or that the fight coordinator would end up re-invigorating the power rangers with his fight coordination. It's a strange, strange…

I think it's a fantastic idea, and if done well could really shake people up. It might fall too close to the X-Men/Mutant/Coming-out-of-the-closet narrative, but if you don't back off the devil/demonic angle, it could chart it's own course.

@TyjannasaurusRex: Secretary of Education, or possibly head of FEMA

@BlueLightRosie: All the things that children love!

My favorite part of the conversation between Artie and Claudia about her supposed fate, is the look on his face as she hugs him after he's told her he'll protect her. It's the look of a man who's just promised his daughter that everything will be okay, knows he was lying, and is steeling himself to MAKE everything be…

Classic comics are like a psychoactive substance. That story just said: "Yes, these are mystic fly-people from another dimension who use magic rings to transform children into soldiers on a war on evil. Deal with it"

@TwiceDead: So I'm not the only one who does that!

@TwiceDead: And it still hurts, too.

@JesusDeSaad: I disagree. Eureka's mad science is generally presented as a matter of our technology plus a bit extra. Things like time travel and all that wackyness has to be earned, and it's effects felt. However, in a comic book, building a rocket to go to another planet in order to build a cosmic resonator to alter…

@JesusDeSaad: A good point, but my meaning is more that the world of comic books is an inherently more fantastic one, just by the nature of the medium. With a flick of a pen, Jack Kirby could display a dozen new super-technologies for Reed, while in a live-action TV show, such levels of the fantastic are much more…

I think there's a real problem here: The question for debate should not be one of power or effectiveness or even scientific skill and ability. Rather, in honor of this being MAD scientist week, this should be a contest of "Mad Scientist-ness".

@Funes1213: If the movie has Cera as hipster/loser Adam, then I would side with Lucifer that the whole "humans" thing was a bad idea.

I'm one of the people who read the book (thank you, UC Berkeley English Department). One of the strange things about it is that the reason that Lucifer is so much more interesting is due to the language. Lucifer and the fallen angels use, and are described by, Metaphors. However, God is god, so he has no need for…

@drummrx: Nah. Gotta be Sam Worthington as Michael and Shia Lebouf as Lucifer.

@hdgotham (Hannah Wilson): I'd say, "just imagine him in red-and-blue tights", but sister, I suspect you already do.

@comrade_leviathan: I wasn't speaking for America in general, just for myself, personally. Though I suppose the case could be made that America views its heroic tendencies as somewhere in a multi-dimensional scale that moves between Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and the Punisher.
