Can I just say that I can't stand Amadeus Cho? He's written as "super-intelligent", but in that lazy way writers have of just having him always say, 'I knew you were going to do that, because I'm so smart, and I've already whipped up a counter-measure'. He doesn't ever seem to actually be planning stuff in an organic sense; it's always just post hoc "I had that planned."
(For a good example of genuine 'cool planning sequence', go watch ".07%", from season one of Heroes, and see Bennett's escape from prison. That's planning.)
I don't like Amadeus Cho either, john seavey, for the same reasons you don't. But I do think "RED HULK SMASH! RED HULK ALREADY HAD PLAN TO SMASH!" Could really, really work.
