"So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot," wrote George Orwell, in a line Weisberg puts to use against the right.

Wiig rarely wastes an opportunity to turn a line into something weirder and more fun, a skill she puts to use as Pamela — getting more and more squirrely in the bunker — keeps trying to get Jeremy to say the word "milk," just to have someone to talk to.

These people, called humanity-prime, and dubbed 'primeys', are highly intelligent, can bend matter to their will, but are also, by human standards, quite, quite mad. Algernon Hebster is a highly successful businessman, owing mostly to his dealings with primeys, who supply him with the knowledge for advanced technologies which he puts to use in commerce. The problem is that primeys are so dangerous that dealing with them is highly illegal and every attempt is made to confine them to the reservations around their perceived alien masters.

Black Lightning was DC's first African-American superhero with his own series. Black Lightning is originally depicted as a schoolteacher from the crime-ridden Suicide Slum area of Metropolis who acquires electrical superpowers from a technologically advanced power belt that he puts to use to clean up crime in his neighborhood. Over time, Pierce establishes himself as a successful superhero in the DC Universe, and later stories depict him as having "internalized" the belt's powers as a result of his latent metagene. Later retellings of Black Lightning's origins simplify his story by depicting him as a metahuman with the inborn ability to manipulate and generate electricity.

Kornelia Smalla has worked on her speciality of microbial ecology at the Julius Kuehn Institute (JKI) and its forerunner the Biological State Institute for Agriculture and Forestry since 1991 in her research focus, microbial ecology, which includes the interaction of pathogens and their antagonists in the root area of plants and the diversity of microbial communities in the rhizosphere overall. This involves the effects which originate from the soil, plant species and variety, and agricultural use and processes, on the structural and functional diversity of microbial communities. Smalla develops and puts to use molecular detection methods. The results of her work have substantially contributed to a greater understanding of the soil microbiome.

One of the most formidable villains ever encountered by the Doom Patrol, or even in DC Comics, The Brain is more of a cerebral opponent but all the more dangerous for it. A former polymath, The Brain has a genius-level IQ which he puts to use as a criminal mastermind and is more than capable of plotting out perfect crimes. The Brain is completely single-minded and motivated almost entirely towards the domination of others, the committing of even more perfect crimes, and ultimate revenge against Niles Caulder. Adept in psychology, he is also a master of coercion, deceit, and manipulation, being able to persuade almost anybody to do his dirty work for him, even to the point where his agents are under the illusion that they are not actually committing evil or immoral acts.

His work has been defined by Suzanne Hudson as, > "Nicola Verlato retains a kind of classicism that has traditionally implied > conservatism, upholding a neorealist style evocative of Old Master painting, > which he puts to use in near-apocalyptic, largely allegorical scenes of > soldiers and bodies leaping from crashing vehicles. Verlato appropriates the > campy, exaggerated violence common to the High Baroque and contemporary > video games to comment on the clash of civilizations played out between > polytheism and monotheism, and to underline its consequences for > representation: cults of idols (figuration) versus prohibitions on graven > images (abstraction). This is an important reminder of the different > histories of form and the ideologies that underpin them, whose use depends > on local context and other factors." ー "Painting Now" by Suzanne Hudson, > Thames & Hudson 2015, pg 128-129 Nicola Verlato has shown alongside artists such as Erwin Olaf, Santiago Sierra, Shepard Fairey, Kehinde Wiley, Ronald Ophuis, José Lerma, Mark Ryden, and Robert Williams.

Amongst the useful skills Castle (and to some extent, partner-in-crime Alexis) have acquired are lock picking, safe cracking, fencing, and a basic grounding in forensic science and criminal psychology. Because he's a writer, although he notoriously shirks "boring paperwork," his ability to speed-read allows him to sift through information faster than most of the precinct (a skill Gates puts to use when hunting for a bomber) and he retains almost everything he reads, especially when it comes to case files (making him the closest approximation to an expert when Jerry Tyson, aka 3XK, returns in Season 7 after stealing his entire case file in Season 6). He also has researched crimes and serial killers, such as the original crime spree of serial killer Jerry Tyson aka The Triple Killer or 3XK for When It Comes to Slaughter. In the pilot episode, "Flowers For Your Grave", Castle displays an uncanny knack for behavioral observation when he observes Beckett and is able to accurately profile her, to which a visibly shaken Beckett responds "cute trick".
