What's the best degree for a Superscientist?

It's a career choice that I want to make.

Gee Rusty, I don't know about the degree...
...but Ms. Molotov Cocktease is hot.

So there are benefits to this whole super-scientist deal. But isn't it more about having an arch nemesis (with hench-persons) and flying really pointy supersonic planes than degrees?

I'll have to check in with my 5 year old son on this question. His current plans are to become an animal scientist, an earth scientist, and a weather scientist, so if you put that all together, I guess that's a super-scientist. He insists that he doesn't want to be an astronaut, however.

According to Thundarr The Barbarian, after the Earth's civilization is destroyed by a runaway comet it will be reborn and "a strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super-science, and sorcery."

I know that, I used to be an environmental engineer. Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass right now. I'm not even sure he knows what he means by "earth scientist".

Then Super Villians are even better because they often get hot sidekicks and even henchmen.

The best degree for a super-scientist? Kelvins during the week, Platos on the weekend. (Something with an OG of around 18 to 20 º Plato and an FG around 5)

To better represent the growing diversity within the "hench" profession, the ACLU has requested that all future mention of "hench" personnel shall be referred to as:
  • "hench-persons"
  • "hench-people"
  • "henchers"
But not:
  • "henchmen"
  • "henchies"
  • "henchenators"
  • or any perceived derogatory term depicting the "hench" culture.

Your compliance is appreciated (or else)

The ACLU

Rather than offend Henchkind, let me suggest we revert to the terms minions on the one hand and Toadies, Lackies, and Flunkies - collectively: petty underlings - on the other.

Flunkies are totally incapable of independent thought or unsupervised actions. They cannot be left alone for more than a few minutes, for fear of hurting themselves or others.

Lackeys are capable of following rudimentary instructions and marginal self-supervision for up to a day or so. The better lackeys are also capable of supervising a squad of flunkies while they break rocks into gravel, but again, only for a day or so.

Minions are capable of a far greater range of authority, self-determination, and responsibility. They can act unsupervised for days, weeks, even months at a time, largely because they are generally clever enough to call you on their cellular phone if they think they're in a situation that is over their heads. They can be trusted with several squadrons of flunkies and the appropriate support staff of lackeys.

I don't use toadies. I have no idea what they're good for.

Toadies are good for making sammiches, stroking your evil super-ego, and occasionally making a (fatal) example out of.
