I did not separate the multiple entries becasue I do not know the background enough to decide if multiple mad scientists are really involved.--AlainV 04:59, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Misleading title!!
Isn't the title of the article misleading?? I think it should be "List of fictional mad scientists" or "List of mad scientists in fiction." --Gurubrahma 16:57, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
- The current one works for me, since AFAIK there are no real-world mad scientists, but if others show up with your preference, I'm willing to move it. --David.alex.lamb 02:57, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- By western standards, A.Q. Kahn would probably qualify as a mad scientist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DigitalEnthusiast (talk • contribs) 21:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
- If you want to say someone IS a real life Mad Scientist, just make a section for them. That should solve the matter. I am assuming you have some in mind, right? I mean, why else would you bother to raise this matter? Corrupt one 03:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mad scientist or Evil genius
I was going through the list to add the "Mad science" category to linked articles where appropriate and discovered that many of these dudes are just regular super-scientists, or evil geniuses, instead of mad scientists. So people need to remove such mistakes from the list -- possibly putting them in other places, such as perhaps a list of evil geniuses. --David.alex.lamb 02:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- Moreover, some are "super scientists" -- neither mad nor evil. Examples: Nick Wellington, David/Bruce Banner. --David.alex.lamb 03:57, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dr. title
Did you notice how a large part of the names listed has a title "Dr."?
Mad scientists get their Ph.D I suppose Cao Wei 19:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] a couple I can't name
- I recall a character in the oldest incarnation of Superfriends that Batman referred to as "the eccentric scientist" but I can't recall his name. He worked with, or possibly invented, a computer called the G.E.E.C.
- The a sequel to the Rampage video game had a buxom female in a lab coat, apparently a mad scientist, but I can't recall her name. --Scottandrewhutchins 03:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
