in comic book science molecules aren’t
the only things that can become unstable
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
mad scientists in comic books before we
begin we publish new videos every day so
be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
brilliant but unbalanced scientists who
have made an indelible impression in
comic books we’re only counting those
who were both mad and scientists at the
same time not those like poison-type
whose experiments drove them crazy and
caused them to drop the whole science
bit although they have Steve
illegitimate
math not just characters who
occasionally go a bit bonkers I’ve come
to realize that this media is a gift
from the heavens it’s going to scourge
the earth of millions maybe billions of
people that the planet couldn’t sustain
anyway number 10
Oliver Trask this time the war will be
for our streets our cities our home and
by the time you see the need for my
program it’ll be too late
there can be a thin line between mad and
obsessive and Oliver Trask crafted big
time if you track as a manger fixation
on you not that that’s a rare thing in
the Marvel ‘dom Trask’s hatred and fear
of humans was kind of personal though
you’ll need a new weapon for this war
I call them sentinels his son was immune
and so trance made a special medallion
that suppressed his power his daughter
was also mean but her powers sent her to
live in a future something Trask’s
didn’t really like Oliver reacted to all
of this by creating the Sentinels
ruthless robots that would stop at
nothing to destroy mutants and
eventually enslave mankind considering
that he was an anthropologist rather
than a robotics scientist crass
creations were pretty damn impressive
the manufacturing process is entirely
self-contained all it requires is an
outside power source too much power dr.
traz you will act out tests Genosha last
night number nine dr. Arnim Zola Hey Hey
if you’re gonna be buddy-buddy with the
likes of Adolf Hitler and the Red Skull
you got to be a little off in the sanity
department whew mad scientist’s have
been as a morally single-minded in the
pursuit of knowledge at Arnim Zola in
Zola’s case his passion was for genetic
engineering and manipulation I am the
finest my idea on the cracked pelvis
look mate I have learned one thing every
problem has a solution using his skill
he created a number of artificial life
form still survived past World War two
by transferring his brain into a series
of weird robot bodies with a face
projecting from a TV in their stomach I
may not be the man I was when to captain
took me prisoner in 1945 but I had no
one has managed to be a big pain in the
patriotic bus to Captain America for
decades we won captain your death
amongst to the famous your life a zero
sound the bridge dr. Stockman
many people don’t realize that the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pal April
O’Neil
started out as a computer programmer or
that her boss was a mad scientist Baxter
Stockman used April’s talents to help
create his Mouser machine robots that
were sort of bird-like in appearance and
were supposedly intended to control rats
[Music]
in fact Stockman used them to rob banks
just to see if he could
Baxter’s mental state deteriorated
rather quickly and before long he turned
himself into a cyborg all the better to
get revenge on those pesky Turtles
dangerously unbalanced Stockman was also
kind of fun but it small doses I will
not stand for any more of this idiotic
interrogation numbers had the leader I
would call that little test run success
and now we begin gamma radiation where
would Marvel Comics be without it gamma
radiation not only created the home but
also a host of other characters
including the leader originally Samuel
Sterns an ordinary janitor at a chemical
plant exposure to gamma radiation gave
him green skin and super intelligence I
think on a level normal human beings
cannot begin to comprehend he took on
the moniker the leader because why not
and created an army of humanoid robots
called wait for it you annoy brilliant
the leader is good at naming things the
leader is not this off-base genius went
through a wide range of demented plans
like trying to start a nuclear war and
gamma radiating the water supplies make
everyone into mutant you a week you suck
with your small lines and fragile minds
you plunged the world into darkness with
your false
Riley used to Savior number six the
brain needle pathetic resistance that
actually stopped what I have created
once again these boys you fail it may
seem like an immodest name but it’s apt
because the brain is just that a big
living brain that cerebral organ
originally belonged to a genius
scientist one who is so smart that
another scientist now Calder of the Doom
Patrol grew jealous of him and arranged
a little accident
what is wrong with you called our love
your lust for battle
fortunately for the brain a
super-intelligent ape he had created
rescued him and transferred his gray
matter to a new home nice day came we
did Audrey driven mad by this state of a
bear the brains warp engines and created
the Brotherhood of Evil to help him in
his plan in addition to being a
scientific genius the brain is a matter
of psychological warfare and may even
have Mike’s tool ability this isn’t over
for you
[Music]
number fine you go strange some secrets
are worth keeping yeah you feel so there
must be considerable stress in your life
she boasts range with Batman’s first
archenemy although he got shoved aside
soon after the debut of a certain
maniacal clown originally strange was
just a genius
you stood reigns for criminal ends but
later versions he became more
certifiably mad you are a valuable
commodity for those friends what should
I say Batman hey Kim away using inmates
taken from Arkham Asylum strange
performs genetic experiments on them
that turned them into grotesque monsters
he became weirdly obsessed with Batman
to going so far as to dress a mannequin
up as a female version of the hero and
to court her he may be mad but he’s
still smart screens is one of the few to
make the connections between Batman and
Bruce Wayne I should thank you capturing
Bruce Wayne is so much easier than
Batman
now that we have you protocol 10 is
ready to begin
number 4 meter free rest while my love
the monster who took you for me will
soon learn that revenge is a dish best
served cold
another Odyssey from the Batman Rose
gallery mr. breeze is actually one of
the most sympathetic test-tube jockeys
on this list Victor freeze was indeed a
genius with a keen interest in
cryogenics
I am recording what I pray will be
mankind’s first step toward immortality
he invented a freeze gun which he wanted
to use to put his terminally ill wife
Nora into suspended animation the gun
exploded though killing Nora and turning
Creed into a human popsicle that
required a special suit to survive
I am beyond emotions they’ve been frozen
dead in me that’s one version of the
story anyway now turned into a
cold-hearted villain mr. freeze uses his
intelligence to create many ice beamed
plots in his attempt to give new meaning
to the phrase chill dude you don’t want
to do this freeze oh I believe I do you
will bring me Nora
you will die number three mr. senator
your whole lives I’m stupid to trust you
duh Nene you are the prototype that
shows
modern times don’t have a walk on that
scientists just like a venture sinister
who had one of the most interesting
origins so the guy fights the x-men here
in the present but he’s actually born in
the 19th century in 1859 scientist
Nathaniel Essex makes the ancient
mutants known as apocalypse who grants
him the power of immortality
Essex act as a shadowy figure for
decades working with the Nazis during
World War two and creating clones at the
drop of a hat he also became obsessed
with the x-men Cyclops and gambit
manipulating many events in their lives
mr. sinister evil machinations are
complex making him an especially
difficult foe to defeat the future
belongs to superior interest the one I
shall create another me one necessary
number two MODOK MODOK got his start as
a technician for aim an organization of
evil scientist’s you know the kind of
organization that would take a humble
technician and submit him to
experimentation against his will the
results would be physically mutated and
intellectually enhanced being known as
MODOK that acronym by the way stands for
mental organism designed only for
killing so naturally he kills the guys
that created him do and for men he goes
on a spree to take over the world many
times ah the Mighty Avengers looks like
the mine stone was indiscriminate in its
blasts hey no more rocks intelligence
and memory make an extremely dangerous
and he’s ruthless as well sure the
heroes always defeat him but not for
long he’s cosmically came Tosca
before we reveal our topic here a few
honorable engine it’s time for the
greatest controlled experiment in mass
madness to finally begin although I hold
the key to evolution creation is
painstaking work it has taken me decades
to create this small colony of enhanced
creatures number one dr. octopus
doc ock as he’s popularly called took
brilliance and physics to a new level
but he lacked social skills his anger
and brooding didn’t keep him from
advancing in his work he was moving so
fast that he had to create a quartet of
mechanical arms to help him conduct his
experiments more efficiently the power
of the Sun in the palm of my hand
unfortunately an accident caused the
arms to become fused to him and they
sent him over the edge as well dr.
octopus has been one of spider-man’s
most consistently entertaining both
eventually even taking over Spidey’s
body and trying to behave like a hero
that didn’t work because you know he’s a
mad scientist but whenever the doc and
Spidey meet readers know they’re in for
a special treat
