mad scientist
Zach from Wild Kratts
In Wild Kratts, Zachary “Zach” Varmitech (voiced by Zachary Bennett) is an arrogant robotics engineer who uses his genius to invent robots called Zachbots to do his bidding. He often clashes with the Kratt Brothers during his plots to turn animals into robots.
Professor Wonder from WonderWorks
Professor Wonder is the mascot of the science amusement park WonderWorks. His top-secret research laboratory was located on a remote island in the Bermuda Triangle, but when an experiment went wrong, a man-made tornado lifted the lab and dropped it onto its current location. He’s a kooky professor with frazzled white hair and mustache that strongly resembles a certain Albert Einstein.
Jillian Holtzmann from Ghostbusters (2016)
Jillian Holtzmann (played by Kate McKinnon) is the quintessential mad scientist type. If there is trouble to get in – as long as it’s scientific – Holtzmann is there. Whether it’s ghosts, laser technology, or nuclear theories, Jillian Holtzmann is up for it. It puts her in the line of fire more often than not. But if it keeps her friends safe, that’s where she wants to be.
For any Ghostbusters costume you’re going to need a few things: a tan jumpsuit, a Ghostbusters patch, a name tag, and a proton pack. You can go for a more screen-accurate pack (top) or an inflatable one that is more affordable (bottom). You will also want a pair of sturdy boots that you can run it but also walk over debris in. After all, those proton packs do some serious damage and not just to ghosts.
When cosplaying Jillian specifically you’ll want a long blonde wig you can style after her hair. You’ll also want two pair of yellow-lensed protective goggles and a green protective gloves. Finally you will need reflective safety tape and fabric glue to keep it in place.

Doctor Edward Richtofen (voiced by Nolan North) is a recurring character in the Call of Duty series. He is an evil Nazi scientist who invented the wonder weapon DG-2 and loved to torture his victims. One of the key creators of the Nazi Zombies, he finds himself forced to kill his own creations.
Doctor Poison
In Wonder Woman, Doctor Poison (Elena Anaya) is the nickname of Isabel Maru, a deranged Spanish chemist who concocts poisons to cause people as much pain as possible. Due to a facial disfigurement, likely from an accident during her experimentation, Doctor Poison wears a ceramic mask on the left side of her face.
Dexter
In Dexter’s Laboratory, Dexter is a boy genius who runs a secret laboratory. There he invents countless machines and conducts weird experiments, though his sister Dee Dee is always breaking in and destroying his work. His idol is Albert Einstein, and he speaks with a Russian accent, which is odd because the rest of his family has no such accent.

Dr. Algernop Krieger
