What's a fast way to clue the audience into a character's [[Super Intelligence|super-intelligence]], either inborn or suddenly-gained? Why, give them a swollen (and often hairless) cranium, apparently housing a grossly enlarged brain. Variants include the head being fissured like a human brain, or the [[Please Keep Your Hat On|enlarged brain being exposed]]. The head may or may not pulsate, and the rest of the body be comparatively weak and underdeveloped. Often related to [[Evolutionary Levels]] or dubious experiments done [[For Science!]]. May involve the development of [[Psychic Powers]] if it's [[Brain Critical Mass|big enough]].
