Cort◊ from Breath of Fire

Random GIS.◊

"They're scientists, they're somewhat scatterbrained, their practice is questionable, and they are frequently working for the bad guys, building implausible gadgetry, or slightly ridiculous superweapons. They tend to wear lab coats, have either wild hair or total baldness, and speak with fake Central European accents."

Kind of like Cort, but too much evil and not enough scientist maybe.

I googled mad scientist and this was the first thing to come up [1]◊

It's the image on the Wikipedia page for mad scientist so I dunno if that will pose a problem

I don't think that sharing an image with Wikipedia is a problem. That page has the same name and meaning as ours.

There's also Farnsworth◊

What is that?

From Futurama

Errr, no, I can't see that. It just says "hosted by tripod", and not showing the actual image.

Whoops◊

Try that

Farnsworth with a fizzing flask and test tube?◊

I could live with that.

Liking that

Note the total lacking safety regarding the chemical spillage.

For a caption I'd go with "Someone forgot to read the lab rules, didn't they?

He doesn't really look "mad" though.

How bout this one then?◊

Looks delighted/joyous rather than mad, plus it's missing the science element.

Fuzzy slippers and bubbling green liquid (Hollywood Acid?) seems pretty crazy to me :) See what you mean though.

Yeah but it could also be careless/clumsy, which lacks the sinister undertones of "mad".

I like Farnsworth with the green goop, but here's a few Magic: The Gathering examples:

Laboratory Maniac◊
Goblin Flectomancer◊
Izzet Guildmage◊
Forbidden Alchemy◊
Frazzle◊
Deranged Assistant◊
Wee Dragonauts◊

For those who don't want to scroll down forever, the second Gargoyles pic is here: [1]◊

What about this? [1]◊

Funny and stereotypical with Einstein hair, weird goggles, colourful chemicals that're smoking...

And not a Halloween costume at all.
