* In his '90s run on ''ComicBook/{{X-Factor}}'', Peter David introduced Professor Rick Chalker, who surgically transformed himself into Number One Fan by having ''his hands replaced with giant, razor-sharp fan blades''. Ironically not the sharpest tool in the drawer, he realized too late that he was trapped in his impenetrable lab by his lack of hands, and out of frustration, slapped himself in the forehead (with gruesome results). He was brought back to life along with his relatives Vic (who electrocuted himself while testing his super exoskeleton in the rain) and Dick, but their collective ineptitude quickly killed them for good.
