The Hunger Games: The unnamed male tribute from District 3 to the the Career Tributes' group, as he figures out how to reactivate the mines from each Tribute’s pad. The good news is that I really believe this won’t happen again. Sometimes you just know when you’re done. I felt that way after I took my last drink on my twentieth birthday, and thirty-five years later, have never had the desire for another one. And just as I felt my life worked better without alcohol in it, I now feel that recreational drug use doesn’t enrich my life but destroys it. So I chose life.

Most incarnations of Power Rangers have one of these among the villains, with responsibilities commonly including mass-producing Mooks and the Monster of the Week, making monsters grow, and generally being the one who knows the most about the finer points of the magic/technology of the season.Several members of the Forsaken in The Wheel of Time, including Ishamael (specializes in philosophy, theology, and metaphysics), Graendal (specializes in personal manipulation) and Demandred (specializes in millitary strategy). Man of Steel: Jax-Ur is a Kryptonian scientist employed by General Zod whose assignments include locating the Codex (Krypton's genetic potential) and operating the World Engine, the Hostile Terraforming machine Zod intends to use to make Earth into a new Krypton.

As I was reading up on the links between creativity and mental illness, I found a Wikipedia entry that stated, “Psychotic individuals are said to display a capacity to see the world in a novel and original way, literally, to see things that others cannot.” Only Randy Gage would challenge the conventional wisdom of everyone from Einstein to the Buddha—and lead you to con­clude, ‘Well, he does have a point!’” What is it about genius that tortures so many who possess it? A Mad Genius if ever there was one, Hunter S. Thompson was asked how he created his unique brand of brilliance. His reply was inspired, if a little unnerving:“I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.” Each lineup of villains in Super Sentai tends to have at least one Evil Genius among them, like in its american counterpart Power Rangers. They may be the scientist who handles the villain group's technology or an Evil Sorcerer, or the just the one who devises the villains' strategy each episode.
