Dear reader, imagine, if you will, that you are superstar comic writer Brian Michael Bendis.  The challenge set before you is that, at times, you must write nerdy, sciency-type characters, when you yourself are not a nerdy, sciency-type kinda guy, but a mere purveyor of schlock.  So how can a writer convey that someone is a smarty with – let me emphasize – the least possible amount of effort?

What’s that you say?  “Have them dispassionately demand someone else’s blood and urine,” you say?  Well, congratulations, you are correct!  As seen here.  And also here.  And lest we forget here, and here shortly thereafter.  And here, and here, and here.  And finally, my personal favorite – “Someone, please, this man needs blood and urine!”
