  Mad scientist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mad scientists are typically characterized by obsessive behaviour and the employment of extremely dangerous or unorthodox methods.
In more recent years, the mad scientist as a lone investigator of the forbidden unknown has tended to be replaced by mad corporate executives who plan to profit from defying the laws of nature and humanity regardless of who suffers; these people hire a salaried scientific staff to pursue their twisted dreams.
Mad scientists, and the relationship between man and technology in general, are the focus of the current webcomic A Miracle of Science [1].

 Mad Scientists and the Movies
Filmic mad scientists of the 1930s and 1940s led the vanguard in such efforts as keeping organs alive outside the body, cryogenics, new methods of surgery, robotic parts for humans, and new serums.
Alchemical work is sometimes reflected in the well-known stereotype of the mad scientist, one of the most famous motifs of which is the artificial creation of life.
While mad scientists are a cliché, hence their increasing rarity in serious films, real "mad science" is in full swing as we enter the third millennium, and recalls the filmic versions of the 1930s and 1940s.

 Foster on Film - Film Reviews Mad Scientists
While the evil scientist is rarely the star of the film, the arrogant one usually is. He is warned by more level-headed colleagues, and by a love interest, to give up his dangerous and blasphemous experiments, but he is too obsessed.
Through the '60s, mad scientists tended to work alone in secret labs, but in recent years, with a realization that most scientific research is done by teams, the mad scientist has lost his lonely status.
For a film to fit in the Mad Scientist category, there must be a mad scientist at the center of the film, not just science-gone-wrong (as in 28 Days or The Omega Man) or a mad scientist off in the wings (Day of the Dead).

 A Miracle of Science - Glossary
Hanford: Hanford was a mad scientist who had invented a radioisotope-marked virus which could be used in the process of force-growing cloned animals.
The government of Venus is oppressive and authoritarian, a relic of the days when the authorities had to rule with an iron hand in order to maintain public safety in the face of rapidly changing weather and dangerous geological or hydrological changes during the terraforming process.
They are expected to search out mad scientists and bring them in, and they often work far from home in complete isolation.

 New Scientist Special Report on BSE and vCJD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Mad cow disease first appeared in the UK in 1986, when cattle started to exhibit strange symptoms of nervous collapse.
Vets pinned down the cause in record time: cows were eating other cows via their feed, and a disease was spreading among them.
The low death toll in the UK from the human form of mad cow disease is one of the great puzzles of recent years, but it may now be explained

 Unknown Armies
Summary: The Archetype of the Mad Scientist is a fairly recent archetype, younger than many of the best known, such as the Fool or the True King, but older than more "modern" ideals such as the Flying Woman.
In the meantime, mad scientists can choose to use their knowledge and skill to benefit themselves or others; regardless of intentions, someone will probably get hurt.
Taboo: Mad Scientists are at the front of the crest of scientific and technical innovation, so far ahead of the rest of the world that they make no sense whatsoever, and they must embody that.

 village voice > news > The Essay by Samantha Hunt
Tesla was one of the last "mad scientists," though mad he was not.
Scientists are beholden to those with legal power and capital: the Department of Defense, Monsanto, or the pharmaceutical companies who, though perhaps making strides to save lives, are more interested in improving the bottom line than improving the human condition.
Somewhere they are toiling in suburban basements, on city rooftops with well-thumbed copies of Popular Mechanics piled by their sides, but with evolution being labeled "just a theory" in some textbooks, try building a submersible airplane in your garage or grafting your own DNA with the great blue heron's today.

 Radiation Burn - Reviews
There are quite a large number of variants of the Scientist model already available.
Many are clever variations on the theme, or completely unique skins that simply use the Scientist's base model.
However, the "negative" effect the skinner used to create the odd coloring leaves "Mad Scientist" with a very low visibility, and just simply isn't compelling enough for use in teamplay.

 CGSociety - Creating the 'MAD SCIENTIST' trading card illustration
The card's description called for a classic mad scientist working on some kind of gadget in his lab, with sparks and electricity all around.
Given the time constraints and keeping in mind that this piece would be printed at a very small scale, less than 3 inches, I opted for a somewhat simple approach, a few foreground elements with minimal background and one or two light sources.
All in all, I wanted the final piece to be reminiscent of the amazing pulp magazine covers from the 40s and 50s, but with a few modern twists.

In Mad Scientist Chess, the King on each side is replaced by a Mad Scientist, which while it moves and captures like a King, can also create and modify monsters.
Parts in excess of eight must be discarded at the end of a player's move (either new or old parts may be discarded, so long as there are only eight or less parts in hand when the move is done).
However, Pawns and Mad Scientists don't have parts, and are not affected by this power.

Certainly, there's a difference between the classic image of the mad scientist working alone somewhere in a castle in the Carpathians and the more modern image of the scientist working in a university or corporate setting.
In the latter case, funding can be a major hassle - and many a great "mad scientist" movie has started with the imminent loss of a grant and parlayed it into the jumping off point for the story.

 Mad Social Scientist
Throughout the 1990s, the GOP was obsessed with the "rule of law", but only insofar as it applied to presidents' statements about oral sex while under oath in sexual harassment lawsuits.
And social scientists have it much worse for another reason: there are several well-funded right wing groups which serve as fog machines, exploiting and thickening common misunderstandings of policy so that the public can no longer tell a policy that benefits them from one that doesn't.
Evolutionary biologists are presently the only natural scientists facing a constant stream of misinformation that is, well, "intelligently designed" by people who want to keep the public confused and ignorant.

The fact that the Mad Scientists of Mammoth Falls use science not for building great inventions or solving great mysteries, but primarily for playing clever pranks on the well deserving.
Brinley wrote three more books about the Mad Scientists' Club, all of them great, but this, the first one is IMHO the best.
