@zero: Nah, the dude's kinda like the normal scientist. Research something that has the plausibility to change the world as we know it, get laughed at for it, devote an unhealthy amount of time for said research, realize exactly how big and how impossibly unprepared humanity would be for such a thing to exist, then turn the whole of humanity into one giant experiment to satisfy your ego.
That's the current basic outline of him.
As a villain, he's quite smooth and detached from reality. His acts of villainy are more FOR SCIENCE than anything. As a villain, I guess he gets a fail, but as a manipulative bastard, I want to make him get a 5 star review
