Mr. Brain’s Pork Faggots.
–Edit– Would it surprise you to know that a pork faggot is a traditional English dish with it’s own wikipedia entry.
From the article:
“A faggot is a kind of meatball, a traditional dish in the UK, especially the southwest of England and Wales. It is made from meat off-cuts and offal, especially pork. A faggot is traditionally made from pig heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon minced together, with herbs added for flavouring and sometimes breadcrumbs. The mixture is shaped in the hand into balls, wrapped round with caul (a membrane from the pig’s abdomen), and baked.”
Any food product with a ‘caul’ as an ingredient is all kinds of wrongness.

I hear Mr. Brain is courting Aunt Bessie. Good for him, I say. She’s a naughty, naughty girl. She’s invented some new perversion that she calls “Stuffing Balls”.
Do you think “Brain” is a real family name? Mr. Brain sounds like a dodgy 70’s Marvel supervillain, some sort of maladjusted macroencephalitic who tutors Peter Parker by day but has ironically made it his mission to hunt Spiderman by night, capturing him with a mind net and lashing him with his psychotronic mind whip until he gives up his true identity, and then he’s like…what, you’re Peter? Jesus, what have I done? WHAT HAVE I BECOME?

MY POOR HOBBLING MOTHER WAS RIGHT! I AM A MONSTER!

Perhaps you mean a villain such as THIS!

That is exactly the kind of villain I mean.
Who is that anyway–the Leader? The green skin made me think gamma radiation straight away.
I like his little moustache. Green skin, massive head, but you know what–he has a little moustache so you can see he’s still making an effort. And who cuts his hair? When he goes to the hairdressers, does he have to pay extra?

You are correct about the gamma rays, The Leader is one of The Hulk’s arch villains. He became super intelligent with a giant brain instead of super everything else and a tiny brain filled with rage. In the recent movie he was played by Tim Blake Nelson. At the end of the scene where Tim Roth turns into the Abomination you can see Nelson’s character with some sort of Gamma-Juice dribbling onto his pate and his head is going all lumpy and bubbly. If you ask me that can’t be good and as soon as the sequel is green lit there’s going to be trouble.
From the illustration above I would imagine he has a similar amount of hair on the top of his super cranium as an average shmoe such as ourselves, however when it comes to the sideburns it’s a whole new ballgame. I think he looks like a young Robert Goulet, only more evil.

Ha, you think that’s all sideburn from the top down? Those are some ‘burns, fair play to him.
The Hulk! I can’t believe I still haven’t been to see it, we’ve seen a fine crop of comic movies this year but I don’t think I’ve been to the cinema since ‘07.
Makes you think, doesn’t it? If gamma rays can give you a giant impervious body and also, on a different day, a super-intelligent brain, can they also create a single being GIFTED IN BODY AND MIND? Imagine what such a green god could achieve.
