'''Hank Pym:''' I won't tell you yet! You would only laugh at me as you've done before! But when I've finished it, I'll show you! Then you shall know I'm a greater scientist than ''any'' of you!
** His long-lost daughter [[ComicBook/TheUnstoppableWasp Nadia van Dyne]] takes after him in terms of both brilliance (creating a pocket dimension lab at an age where pink crystal castles are the obvious go-to aesthetic) and obsessive tendencies (not having anything resembling a day[=/=]night cycle in said lab because anything indicating the passage of time is too distracting).
* The High Evolutionary basically lives inside a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor.

Apart from creating his own race of [[UpliftedAnimal uplifted animals]] called the New Men, he also built his own '''''planet'''''!
* ComicBook/{{Blade}}'s arch-enemy Deacon Frost was an amoral scientist that performed experiments to gain immortality and upon and injecting himself with vampire blood, he becomes an unusual type of vampire with bizarre powers. He continued to perform his experiments such as producing clones of his victims (one of the special powers he gained) all so he could usurp Dracula's position as Lord of the Vampires.
* Dr. Rot from the ''Insane in the Brain'' storyline of the ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'' comic, a lunatic running an asylum, whose particular flavour of insane science is psychic machines made out of human brains. Adequately summed up by the following quote, while he flees Wolvie with a fresh brain in one hand and a handful of cables in the other:
-->"We Rottenwells, like to make our own way, yes we do. And all I need to make mine now is [[NoodleImplements a paper clip, a cheese grater, a nine volt battery, a still-beating hummingbird heart, and the exhaust fan from a 1979 Chrysler LeBaron]]. Make way boys! Medical science is on the march here!"
