Considering the greater amounts of energy which can be collected and stored in suitable experimental form in capacitors, one could expect to deliver radiated energy for some time from them.
A good villain exudes charisma and power. He has principles, though; that just gives him a level of dimension.

Globalization is not a monolithic force but an evolving set of consequences – some good, some bad and some unintended. It is the new reality.
