In #MST3K's "Doctor Mordrid," the secret sorcerer is for some reason giving academic lectures on the occult.
Reminds me of a #SuperheroRPG idea I never used -- a supernatural superhero with a secret identity as a "cult expert" advising police. Basically cons the cops into finding crimes for him, gives them bad advice, secretly solves the crimes as a superhero, and leaves the cops with a lot of "unsolved crimes." Might work as a hook for a modern #HorrorRPG, too.
@contrarian Not only is Doctor Mordrid one of my favorite recent #MST3K episodes, but the movie itself is way better than the majority of what the show lampoons.
I like the idea of Poison Ivy as a forensic plant expert, "solving" crimes by misdirecting police away from her experiments.
