* PunnyName: Paranoid + Piranha = Piranoid, courtesy of Slammu. It sticks so well the Seaviates refer to him as it even in his human form.

%%* TheSmartGuy of the FiveManBand

* JustThinkOfThePotential: Whilst he definitely desires power, he also seems genuinely convinced that gene-slamming is a legitimate way to upgrade humanity. Considering he was able to transform the near-centenarian gangster Maximillion Greko into a super-strong powerhouse with the vitality of a young man thanks to just a minor infusion of desert tortoise and rhinoceros DNA, he has a point.

* BecomeARealBoy: The episode "To Shark or Not To Shark" has him express the desire to become fully human.
