Totally different vibe. Nit: he was always called 'doctor', but I don't recall if he was ever actually established as degreed or if this was just a title he claimed for himself -- he was, after all, a megalomaniac crook. But still more usable than Steve McGarrett's (serious*) archfoe on Hawaii Five-O: Wo Fat. I don't see any good jokes or puns in 'Wo Fat'.
