Thinking about it a little more.....
Dr Wood could be the inspiration for a crackingly evil new villian.
I introduce you to Doctor Dust! (played by Meryl Streep no less)
Protected by several menacingly clawed but sexy (and scantily-clad) underlings known as "Haarpies", who would gouge out the genitals of those who even dared to view her monstrous face, she smites her enemies by strumming gently on her golden instrument bringing forth a mighty seawind which bombards her target with millions of invisible, billiard ball-sized nuclear bomblets pulverizing everything in their path into total obscurity.
.....or am I thinking about it a little too much :=]
