villians and rain?

so stinke forwards me over this article about how chinese scientists now control rain.

this got me thinking that superheroes and supervillians are NOT far off at all. not the mutant ones that are born with special powers, but the ones that have created their own powers with technology - like dr. octagon, green goblin, cyclops, etc. if we can make it rain, shoot missles, have little lasers the sizes of pens, etc., why cant a crazy mean person - aka a villian, hook themselves up with missles, lasers, etc., and run rampant, becoming the first real supervillian? i don't see this as far off...

stink made the good point that watch, the first real mutants will be the people that drink this artificial rainwater in china...

on a not so side note, the special fx in the new superman movie look sick.
