Another Little Geek Moment

So I'm reading a collection of Jorge Luis Borges essays; and one of these is a discussion of the various translations of The Arabian Nights. One of the translators he talks about is a "Dr. Mardrus."

Forget the Arabian Nights for a moment (I did.) Forget Borges. It's DOCTOR MARDRUS!

Has there ever been a better supervillain name? I don't think so.
