Designer's Notes: Here he is, Dr. Drugs—a self-taught genius who has discovered how to unlock latent superpowers with the right combination of chemical additives. He's managed to grant himself, his girlfriend Blossom, and his father Ogre, superpowers, and thinks the world would be better off if everyone could "share the wealth." Of course, as Mr. Mellow himself he's not exactly sure if the world is ready for such a heady trip, can you dig?
Here's a plot arc waiting to happen. Dr. Drugs is sort of a pastiche/parody of Timothy Leary, wrapped up in four-color trappings. He's not really a villain, more of a bad flower-child stereotype. That said, anyone wanting to unleash a Wild Cardesque origin story on their world (and not wanting to involve aliens) can look no further than this guy. He needs some better powers (well, at least more of them) and a whole stack of skills—specifically, science skills to allow him to make drugs of all sorts. GMs could use him like a four-color alchemist, producing super-power potions left and right (not to mention a few new superhumans!).
Dr. Drug's Duplicate needs to have Desolidification, Invisibility, and Flight. It is also 350 points, roughly 170 points more than the good Doctor. I suggest you beef up the Doctor to make him more of a threat to your average superhero.
