#and fistfight each other over classification disagreements

[thedawningofthehour]

I've been thinking that he has a group of acquaintances who are just as insane but less diabolical, but it is really funny to think of him being the crazy guy even inside the Insane Feral Science circle.

Like

"I think it's just a weird thing to get hung up on. Why is he so obsessed with turtles? He should pick a more normal obsession and just become abnormally fixated on octopuses instead. I mean, everyone else's research is much more productive and beneficial."

"Isn't Frank trying to reverse-engineer birds back into dinosaurs? Specifically so he can ride them?"

"That's...okay, that's different."

Also lol at him only becoming a criminal after the Shredder thing. The Council sends a covert operator to keep an eye on him and gather evidence of his crimes meanwhile he's monologuing his whole evil plan to everyone at the bar at least once a week.

I know that logically Draxum probably got away with making the mutagen and oozequitos because he was very careful about hiding his research and whatnot, but the much funnier explanation is that he's already so weird that when he rolled up to an academic conference two months after his lab exploded the first time with his 200 page paper on how he's going to bioengineer mosquitos to be the size of his hand (without giving a single reason as to why he wants to do this), the most he was met with was maybe a few raised eyebrows and a couple people wondering how he still gets grant money
