* TisOnlyABulletInTheBrain: Figures into part of Durja King's backstory - during a riot in some Jakarta slums during Durja's childhood, the then eight-year-old Durja was shot in the cranium while trying to embrace his dead father, but survives, with the bullet somehow unlocking Durja's latent intelligence turning him into the EvilGenius he is in the present. On the downside, the bullet is messing with his brain and it's obvious Durja isn't quite right in his mind.
