Mongoose master race
I know he was a "mad" scientist and all, but wasn't his logic about evolving humans into "superior" cobras somewhat flawed? What's the point of going to all the effort of turning a man into a cobra, only for the cobra to be killed by a mongoose (rather unwisely/carelessly kept in the same lab)? Maybe the scientist should have instead been focussing his energies into turning a man into a mongoose?
Better still, if the assistant had been left as a human, he would have been able to dominate both the mongoose and the cobra... so the scientist should have been trying to evolve cobras and mongeese into men?
I'm puzzled...
