4D Printing

Adaptive InfrastructureSo I watch TED talks fairly often and there was one that came out fairly recently about 4D printing. If you’re wondering how you can print in the 4th dimension (time), I would ask what if you considered self-assembling materials?

I’ve set up this list based on a few criteria:

1) I’m going to pick from well-known super-villains not crazy obscure ones;

2) Worthlessness with be graded on the scope of the villainy and how ineffectual the actually villain is, and character concept.
