Other than Jekyll, Moreau, Griffin (Invisible Man), etc. can anyone name some mad scientists?

i should imagine at least a quarter of the stories mentioned in this section alone feature a mad scientist - they're probably more prevalent in the pulps than even vampires. Herbert West, Dr. Satan, hundreds of Frankenstein & Dr. Jekyll descendants and rip offs, Damian Harman in Robert Lory's Dracula Returns series, boring Burt Winslow in Don Glut's New Adventures Of Frankenstein, that bloke in Piranha .... even the novel i'm reading just now, Phobia, centres around a behavioral psychologist with a nasty line in shock therapy.

Lovecraft has quite a few mad scientists.
Crawford Tillinghast (From Beyond)
Joseph Curwin (The Case of Charles Dexter Ward)
Herbert West (The Reanimator)
To a certain extent Wilbur Whateley and his Grandfather (The Dunwich Horror)
That's off the top of my head.

If I'm remembering right the Seabury Quinn story The Horror on the Links has a mad scientist.

Conan Doyle's The Disintegration Machine has a Latvian one, Theodore Nemor. Of course, all his Professor Challenger stories have the reasonably demented Prof himself, and in When the World Screamed, he himself qualifies one hundred percent.
