| "Holy crap. Who knew that supervillains and arch nemeses need to take out patents! I guess it would be a pain to be sued while trying to take over the world. I found some video, will add to the article. Jonny Quest was one of my favorites; my son likes it, too. The Robot Spy is one of my favorite episodes. Thanks!"

"Guard! Get tanks, flamethrowers - anything! That thing must be stopped!" I also added the Omnidroid 08 robot from The Incredibles; thanks, readers, for helping me improve my article." |
| "@ Bill,
It is USA that wants to monopolize its hegemony unlike China whose intention currently exists in wild western imagination." ( 12/22/2010 3:43:35 PM) |
| "**off-topic political rant**
Back on topic, I think that the choice of Dr. Zin as a villain had more to do with the Jonny Quest program's fascination with exotic locales than anything else." |
