By some weird reason, wizards and Mad Scientist types often have names ending on "ius" (possibly just "us", but "ius" is just better). Smart People Know Latin, after all, so a guy with a Latin-sounding name must be especially intelligent. Truth in Television with Vesalius and all of the other Medieval/Renaissance scientists who used Romanized names (Keys would become Caius, to cite a real-life example), the likely inspiration for the trope. It's frequently Canis Latinicus, though. See also Dr. Fakenstein and The Great Whodini for alternate naming patterns used by scientists and magic-users respectively, and Herr Doktor for the German-sounding scientists. |

Dr Igneous Cutwell, from Mort is another non-evil wizard, and is unusual in that it's his first name that fits the trope. | |

Dr. Cornelius from X-Men. (He's the other guy responsible for Logan becoming Wolverine.) note Most versions of the story depict a bald Asian guy and a red-haired or brown-haired, bearded guy working on the soon-to-be Wolvie. The bearded guy is Dr. Cornelius. The bald guy's the one who invented the adamantium bonding process, and Lady Deathstrike's father. He shows up more often and is more recognizable, in the comics and animated versions. | |

Harry Potter, of course. A lot of wizards have names ending in "us" : Albus, Bartemius, Lucius, Regulus, Remus, Rubeus, Severus, Scorpius, Sirius ... It seems to be more frequent in the Pure-Blood families, though. | |

In Planet of the Apes (1968), the apes tend towards Roman-inspired names, and the film is mostly set at an ape academy of science, so doctorates abound. Among the main characters are Dr. Cornelius and Dr. Zaius, and there are more minor characters named Dr. Maximus and Dr. Honorius. | |

The Order of the Stick: Vaarsuvius and Aarindarius are both wizards. However, this trope is subverted by Vaarsuvius' spouse Inkyrius, who is an an apprentice baker. In one strip, Elan decides to become a wizard and names himself Elanicalicus. |

Dr. Mordin Solus from Mass Effect 2. Interestingly averted with turians, who, as pseudo-Roman aliens, frequently have names ending with -us, some of which are actual Roman names. Averted because we almost never meet any turian doctors or scientists, and when we do, they're not named. |
