Would you like to use a description from the Blurb Bank?:

Program Description: 
Superheroes--bah! Who needs them? Everyone knows that supervillains are the real heroes of the story! From Doctor Octopus to Mr. Freeze, supervillains often start out as scientists who find their true evil side through a freak accident. Maybe you could learn to manipulate magnetic fields like Magneto, or test your robotic skills and build your own Sentinel. Bring out your inner-evil scientist with our devious hands-on activities, and together, we can overthrow those inferior superheroes!
