[ WP ] There 's a lot of stories about mad scientists . Write a story about a mad professional in another field .

You know, the super hero business can get really repetitive. I'm not one to normally complain, but I certainly enjoy a little variety in my work. Every day it seems like I'm fighting the same gigantic robot or genetically enhanced gorilla some mad scientist created in his crusty, dimly-lit laboratory. Somehow, despite all of their brains, they ca n't even pick up yesterday's paper and see that a different mad scientist just failed to take over the world after creating something eerily similar to what they are currently working on. 
 
 Also, what's with the identical get-up? Do these supposed villains all shop at the same clothing store? Is there some sort of underground mad scientist mall I have n't heard about yet? All I'm asking for is a small break from the norm; a little fashion sense or something to make the experience memorable would even suffice. I know I should n't be saying this, but I'm finding it difficult to even find the motivation to get out of bed when I hear the red alerts anymore. And I'm not the only one! One mad scientist nearly destroyed an entire city with his cybernetic moth... thing just because none of the other heroes could summon enough energy to fight it! 
 
 But, I do have to say, every now and then we get someone really unique. Unfortunately they never last very long because either it's not very threatening or because **every hero in the god damn city** rushes in to fight them just because it's something new. 
 
 Just last year we had a mad civil engineer who constructed a bridge that would move and attach to a different location every hour. At first it caused some minor inconveniences and delays, but now it's a huge tourist attraction and the city is thriving from all of the money it brings in in tolls. I actually think that guy is getting the key to the city or something. 
 
 Oh! And there was the mad paper boy who always delivered papers a day late. I'm sure he would have caused terrible mayhem if we were n't neck deep in the digital age. I give him credit for his passion for chaos but part of being a good villain is keeping up with current events, and that's something I could n't really give him any points back on. 
 
 But, by far the biggest scum bag I've ever encountered was the mad loan shark. I know what you're thinking, knee-capping and threats and hanging his victims from rooftops by their ankles, right? Nope! This degenerate was a completely new breed of fucked-up. If his victims did n't pay on time, he would go to their house with his gang, get their personal financial information and then help them set up a sustainable budget and means of paying him back. He would actually teach them financial responsibility that sick bastard. I have to say, there are times where I look at the world and begin to lose hope. Sometimes I just close my eyes and wish I could fly away from the dark hole humanity is sinking into. And I almost did with this guy. Luckily after some `` convincing'' he was back to mailing severed fingers and toes from loved ones!
