10 Dumbest Supervillain Schemes You Won't Believe
6. Sivana Turned Shazam Into A Baby
If you've seen the Shazam film, you may think the villain, Doctor Thaddeus Sivana, is a badass. However, most of his schemes in the early comics are incredibly silly. He used math to walk through walls, tried to rule the world with Laughing Lotion, and caused an insurance-fraud racket by manipulating a weather station on Venus (even though that doesn't make sense).
As dumb as those plans sound, they are trumped by the story, Sivana's Fountain of Youth. Billy Batson discovers that people around town are turning into babies. He learns that these incidents were caused by the nefarious Doctor Sivana. The mad scientist performed these wicked deeds with a potion that can de-age a person by 30 years.
Sivana's formula basically works the same as the fountain of youth. He can use this concoction on the elderly to make them young again. He can stop people from dying of old age. Even by comic standards, this is the biggest scientific breakthrough ever! Sivana should be a trillionaire!
So what does Sivana use the formula for? He de-ages soldiers at an army base so he can steal their weapons.
Sivana... you need to really up your ambitions.
