How is nobody not choosing madman?
With madman i can essentially get sysadmin rights to my brain and control every hormone, chemical, and substance release on command and have ZERO side effects. I can have NZT from limitless, never be depressed, change my time perception to give me superhuman reaction time, and pretty much any chemical the body produces all at the same time.
Madman makes prodigy useless because I can understand concepts inside and out and in thousands of different ways the anybody can by controlling the chemicals in my brain. I wouldn't even have to be some crazy scientist, I could just be the best musician that ever lived and coast off that alone.
Madman makes this whole list useless because I can find a way to replicate any of them if I can essentially control my brain
Couple that with Looper and the world is mine in under a week.
