Ilya Kuryakin is back, and this time he’s pissed.

Uri Geller was determined to have his vengeance on Johnny Carson….

I’m loving the octopus-styled white hair. And curious about the Chesley Bonestell space ship cunningly disguised amid other debris.

How come his less berayed right eye is glowing and his more berayed left eye isn’t?

I thought Polymaths were just good at normal stuff. I didn’t know they were also good at EYE RAYS!

I am SO writing to the Mythbusters show, and asking them to test if you can shoot rays out of your eyes without frying them…

This guy is obviously related to Ged:
(note that at no point in the entire series does he ever fire lightning from his fingers. And that’s ignoring the whole skin-colour thing, covered here before.)

Oh crap. Let’s try that again. Ged is here.

Wow, I thought polymath was adding up parrots.
Badoom-ta-tish – thankyouverramuch – I’m here till Tuesday. Try the veal.

As awful as the cover is, I love that the author was apparently familiar with the term “polymath”. Seeing someone use that word makes up for the cover art…

I’d say Zardoz has had some face work done, maybe a chemical peel and is wearing a toupee now. Good for Zardoz!

Nothing says polymath like shooting at giant spacehead’s eyes so that the back his head explodes.

Woke up in the morning with a bad headache — thought I’d take some aspirin — whamm, there went to medicine cabinet — wtf, waited a bit, wandered outside, whamm went the dog, dead, crusty, charred — and the house… Should probably go back to sleep.

So that’s how Jor-el (Marlon Brando) captured Zodd!

“Mr. Trump, how would you picture yourself as U.S. President, at work in the Oval Office?”
“Like THIS!!”

If David Lynch did LOTR, this is probably the eyes of Sauron.

I’ve heard about getting a swelled head, but this is ridiculous.

@Bruce: Looks like the bits inside his head swole up*, and thus are ‘sploding out the back in tentacle shapes and as eye-beams.
*A call-back to comment #1 via “Outer Limits” (original) and as a woman who knew she was straight before she knew the concept, in pre-school thanks to David McCallum, I’m missing him greatly.

@GSS ex-noob: “Sixth Finger”?
Looking a bit more closely, those eye beams don’t actually seem to be doing anything. Perhaps they’re setting up for a Spinal Tap concert and the giant floating head is part of the show?
April 7th, 2024 at 12:13 am
@Bruce: 1) Exactly!
2) So it’s like a giant cutout of a head covering up light sources? Which will fall down to crush the structures, which do look a bit trilithon-y.
As long as the short people aren’t harmed, but one imagines a light fixture falling on the drummer to cause semi-spontaneous combustion.

Eye-beams in the front, glowing cephalopod(s) in the back.
Not as catchy as “business up front, party in the back.”

If I don’t see exactly this in the sky during tomorrow’s eclipse, I am going to be very disappointed.
