On August 1, 2007, Hahn was arrested in Clinton Township, Michigan for larceny, in relation to a matter involving several smoke detectors, allegedly removed from the halls of his apartment building. In his mug shot, his face is covered with sores which investigators claim are possibly from exposure to radioactive materials.

Disappointing. No mention of what superpowers he developed.

I am equally impressed and appalled. What a mind he has. The typical mad professor. Can you just imagine the experiments he is doing now in bio-chemistry :eek::eek::eek:

Will be interesting to see what age he lives to.
