They Called Me Mad!	comment	Scientists may be open to new ideas but are not by any means paragons of universal open-minded acceptance. This is heavily exaggerated in fiction. What does a peerage of scientists do when presented with amazing or disturbing theories that could seriously change everyone's worldview and/or revolutionize science by one of their fellows? Do they test out the theory themselves, analyze it thoroughly, or interview their fellow scientist in an effort to find any truth in his "wild" theories or disabuse him of them before he goes crackpot? Of course not! Everyone knows that's not how you do research! The establishment will be fiercely jealous, and they'll mock him, never take a second glance at his theories, and do everything possible to discredit him, bury his ideas, and make him shunned in respectable scientific circles. The outcomes are usually: He will turn into a bona fide Mad Scientist and wreak havoc, usually motivated by personal gain or revenge on the scientists who dared to mock him. Parodies and/or extremely clichÃ© examples may spout out lines like "They all laughed at me... THEY CALLED ME MAD! BUT I'LL SHOW THEM! I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!! BWAHAHAHAAA!" He will become a slightly more tragic version of The Worm Guy, and be involved in a situation where his theories work. If everything goes smoothly, he will usually be accepted back into the community that once shunned him and his detractors forced to eat crow or discredit themselves. If it's related to The Men in Black or the Masquerade, his vindication will be personal, but still uplifting. He will become an Ignored Expert if the "wild theory" is a premonition of a disaster. Most (usually all) of his detractors end up dead or recant and he is lauded a hero for preventing bigger casualties. That is, unless he's pragmatic, or the world-destroying type. Usually, in real life, as the evidence mounts, the general view will eventually correct itself. If the scientific establishment is particularly slow to embrace the paradigm shift, then the theory and its inventor will be Vindicated by History. Apart from purely scientific backlash, jealousy, and spite, there may also be pressure on them from other motivations; for example, if you claim your planet is not the center of the universe or that leaded petrol is unhealthy. Compare Ignored Expert. Occasionally, they will be one screw short of becoming a Mad Scientist before this falling out, or have the typical personal tragedy motivating Professor Guinea Pig. In these cases, his peers aren't so much fools as they are (rightly) concerned that his experiments have fallen down the slippery slope of scientific inquiry into grave robbing, God-defying Mad Science. At the outset of the story, he'll usually be on hard times, and probably have become a recluse or in a dead-end job. Or... will use their Super Prototype to branch into supervillainy. Compare All of the Other Reindeer, And You Thought It Would Fail, and Who's Laughing Now? With variant #1 especially, this is frequently a motive behind Disproportionate Retribution.

The Institute for the Sane Study of Mad Genius (a.k.a. "those fools at the Institute") is, apparently, usually the "they" in the Narboniverse. They have classes on it. When Mr. Winter, the Narbon lawyer, laughs at a terribly distraught Helen in the backstory of Narbonic... things don't end very well for him. Or anyone else in that Italian bistro, for that matter.

However, a group of people had discredited his theories, leading the book's publisher to sue them for libel and lose. This caused Septimus to later kidnap those people and the judge who presided over the case and commit various crimes to prove his theory (even going so far as using the technology to make the judge and the men who discredited him admit they were wrong and that they were complete fools to do so).

Achmed The Mad, Necromancer and compiler of the Necrotelicomnicon, was apparently irked by his most common moniker and preferred to be known as 'Achmed the I Just Get These Headaches'. This is so common on the Disc that its absence is noted by The Igor in Thief of Time, who comments that he finds it easier to perform his work if his employer is indulging in an Evil Laugh and saying things like "They said I was mad, but this will show them!". In Making Money, an Igor asks his employer, who is about half a step away from being a Mad Scientist, to invoke this trope before he performs a dangerous experiment.

Professor Takano had been investigating a strange disease called Hinamizawa Syndrome, which could alter one's personality into that of a psychopathic paranoiac. Based on this, he wants to show that a person's personality can be altered or even wholly changed by parasites in the brain. However, at almost every turn, he is refused both funding and consideration for his work — despite doing careful research, inviting his colleagues to look at his results, and otherwise acting like an actual scientist rather than the alternative. He never got anywhere, and ultimately ended up jumping off the roof of his home, but his granddaughter, Miyo, decides to become the Big Bad to avenge her grandfather.

In one episode, he is invited to a symposium by an old rival, and is summarily mocked by the entire theoretical physics community for his lack of (unclassified) output — including Bill Nye the Science Guy and Stephen Hawking — even after he saves the world from behind the scenes. On the plus side, he gets the girl at the end of the episode. On top of all this, his sister is generally considered the smarter one, despite the fact that she retired from physics to become a stay-at-home mom. She occasionally helps out when Rodney or Atlantis is stuck.

It's explained that, since the world was still recovering from the massive societal upheaval that the emergence of superpowers brought, no one wanted to consider the possibility of some far-off apocalypse in the future, and found it easier to dismiss the whole thing. The Singularity Theory nowadays is considered fringe science at best, a delusional conspiracy theory at worst — however, there's mounting evidence that it might not be as crazy as people thought...

While the Citadel does appear to heavily disapprove of the study of magic, this was not the main reason they took his "licence" and condemned him to his face: his research involved illicitly vivisecting people. Yeah. He seems pretty normal most of the time (except, say, when he rants about the Citadel's narrow-mindedness), but it's worth noting that he's had two known jobs since that happened: as a member (The Medic) of a famously vicious band of sellswords (who, incidentally, wouldn't care if he cut open the odd screaming prisoner in front of them) and as a spymaster for someone whose massive paranoia has supplied him with ready access to well sound-proofed dungeon cells and people who are unlikely to ever be seen again.

She wrote a book called It Had a Tail (Stop Calling Me a Liar). Now she wants to capture mermaids and dig up mermaid buildings to create a tourist attraction so everyone will believe her.

They Called Me Mad! / int_bc810180	comment	Dr. Will Magnus explains that this was his backstory in 52, fittingly given that he spends the entire comic struggling with mental illness. Not a single scientist took his theory that personality traits could be discovered in metals, save for Magnus's Evil Mentor Professor Morrow. It turns out that this theory is what led to the creation of the Metal Men, who he's rebuilt in secret. Upon finishing his speech, they appear to help him kill the madman who's been holding Magnus hostage.

They Called Me Mad! / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: The Dwarfs regularly kick out young mavericks from their engineering guild, to the point where it's practically a rite of passage. Most of them join the human engineering guild until they refine their prototype into a machine that runs with proper Dwarfish efficiency, which tends to result in The Empire using the more unreliable weapons on the battlefield before the conservative dwarfs cotton to them. It's working out well for the dwarfs at least, they've got multi-shot cannons and helicopters. Being packed full of mad scientist tropes, the Skaven Chief Warlock Ikit Claw tends to say this a lot (his appearances in novels, such as Thanquol's Doom, make it quite apparent). Though in all honesty he probably is stark raving mad...

They Called Me Mad! / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Mad Scientist Dr. Mehendri Solon in "The Brain of Morbius" combines this with fanatical devotion to the defeated evil Time Lord Morbius — his unholy experiments are to give Morbius a new body. A benevolent variation exists with Peter "Pete" Tyler, Rose Tyler's father. While he died when she was just a baby, he was described as an idealistic dreamer whose schemes never worked. Cut to a visit to an alternate universe where he didn't die and lived to present day. He actually managed to go and make his plans work and he became a very wealthy man. However, both Petes are decent men and alt-timeline Pete considers Rose the daughter he never had (since he's a widower in the alt universe).

Supposedly, for instance, when he was first made a Prince he approached some of the Archangels to try and persuade them that his mission was truly God's work and to join him in his journey. His offer was flatly rejected, since ultimately it was just the ravings of a lunatic, and he never forgave them for the insult.

One Splat in the game is defined by coming into Genius after being rejected by one's peers: Neid, the Catalyst of Banishment. They end up spending a lot of time trying to show "them". Mad science is a bit tricky; prospective researchers could very well end up being called mad themselves. The Masquerade is, sadly, rather self-sustaining.

In one episode, he is invited to a symposium by an old rival, and is summarily mocked by the entire theoretical physics community for his lack of (unclassified) output — including Bill Nye the Science Guy and Stephen Hawking — even after he saves the world from behind the scenes. On the plus side, he gets the girl at the end of the episode. On top of all this, his sister is generally considered the smarter one, despite the fact that she retired from physics to become a stay-at-home mom. She occasionally helps out when Rodney or Atlantis is stuck.
