Mad Thinker
Fighting: Poor
Agility: Typical
Strength: Typical
Endurance: Typical
Reason: Amazing
Intuition: Typical
Psyche: Typical
Health: 22
Karma: 62
Resources: Remarkable
Popularity: -20
Powers:
Total Memory: He has Monstrous recall. This enables him to simulate some mental powers as Power Stunts:
* Hyper-Invention: Monstrous Reason when creating robots and androids.
* Weapons Tinkering: Monstrous Reason when building any weapon he has previously read plans for. These weapons can be incorporated into robots and androids as powers.
Mind Transferal: A bionic radio gives him the Amazing ability to transfer his consciousness into any of his robots or androids within 250 miles of his body’s location.
Equipment:
Hypnolens: Incredible Hypnotic Control over anyone looking at it.
Talents:
Mathematics, Computers, Electronics, Engineering
Contacts:
Ex-ally of Egghead, Puppet Master, Ultron and Wizard
History:
The origin of the Mad Thinker is unknown. He led an extraordinarily successful criminal career without the police ever learning he was a criminal, thanks to the brilliance of his strategies. Aided by his advanced computers, the Thinker could predict the probably course of events virtually down to the smallest detail, and used this knowledge in planning his crimes. (He calls himself the Thinker; however, once he became publicly known as a criminal, his superhuman opponents and the news media labeled him "the Mad Thinker," much to his continued exasperation.)
Eventually the Thinker met with many of the country's leading crime bosses to tell them of his plan to seize control of New York City and turn it into an independent nation with himself as its ruler. The crime bosses would serve to enforce his rule. To rid himself of the probable opposition of the Fantastic Four, who were then the only New York City based team of superhuman crimefighters, the Thinker arranged for each of the team members to be offered a highly attractive job. The four teammates accepted the offers, but while they were gone from their Baxter Building headquarters, the Thinker and his allies took it over. The Thinker thus gained access to the knowledge and equipment of the Fantastic Four's leader Reed Richards, a scientific genius. Using this information the Thinker constructed the first of his superhuman androids. When the Fantastic Four returned, the Thinker used the android and Richards' own weaponry to battle them. But Richards defeated the Thinker by arranging to have a circuit breaker activated that rendered all of Richards' electronic equipment and weaponry useless. Thus the Thinker was sent to prison apparently for the first time.
Since then the Thinker has clashed unsuccessfully many times with the Fantastic Four and other superhuman adventurers, including the Avengers, Iron Man, Spider-Man, the Sub-Mariner, and the X-Men. He once attempted to conquer the world in league with his occasional partner the Puppet Master and the criminal scientist Egghead. However, usually the Thinker directs his crimes towards three other goals: the accumulation of further knowledge (as in his continued attempts to steal Reed Richards' scientific secrets), the amassing of great wealth, and vengeance on the Fantastic Four. The Thinker once found and revived the original android Human Torch to use him as a weapon against the Fantastic Four. After the original Torch was apparently destroyed, the Thinker turned him over to the robotic Ultron. The Thinker also brainwashed the original Torch's partner, Toro, into serving him, although Toro later broke free of his control.
To perform his fieldwork, the Thinker employs a variety of androids. The Thinker stole the basic design for constructing androids from Reed Richards. However, drawing upon other sources of information, the Thinker has created androids that are much more powerful than any that Richards is known to have constructed. His first and most frequently employed artificial automaton is the "Awesome" Android, a 15 foot tall malleable humanoid capable of mimicking other forms and powers. He has also created the Quasi-Motivational Destruct Organ ("Quasimodo"), android duplicates of the Fantastic Four, simulacra of various great thinkers from human history, super-powerful android assassins, and numerous medium-power servant androids to tend to his personal comforts and professional needs.
