Just wondering if anyone has, or has links for, any mad scientist builds.
roughly B1 A1 M3 and approx 25-30pt builds.
I'm trying to get some ideas for someone who has several different gadgets that may or or may not work as intended, i.e. rather than just have the possibility of failure they may do something unintended - possibly emulating a power that may or may not be beneficial.
- along the lines of a camera that doesn't just DAZE an opponent with it's flash, but also randomly TELEPORTS them. However, it may...teleport the photographer instead.
I was thinking that they would be part of a large multipower.
I would also want him to have a gadget that conjures "useful" objects - but he isn't aware of what they would be. (I'm actually trying to emulate a mad scientist version of the Wizard from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon with this!).
Any ideas or links guys?

Sounds like a crazy fun inventor. I'm not really sure about how you'd go about actually building a character with such inventions. It sounds to me like the best way to go would be to modify the Uncontrollable Powers disadvantage - failure results trigger a random effect (which might still be detrimental to the heroes) and a 'one' result triggers a random effect that affects the inventor/user.
As for the conjuring of "useful" objects, you might just want to take a purely role-playing approach. Example: My zany wizard character announces to all that he will conjure a fire truck to use against the fire and instead gets a delivery truck with 5 crates full of fire extinguishers... "Ummm. Anyone care to give me a hand?"
