I can’t remember if Kline played a drama teacher or music teacher, but _In & Out_ was indeed the role of which I was thinking. (And drama teacher does seem to make more sense for the plot.)

I don’t think so, I don’t know a marvel character named Katastrophe was thinking of Kang the conqueror. 3. Perhaps you are thinking of Sylvester Graham, but I was thinking of John Kellogg who was influenced by Graham ideas, but has a name beginning with K, and preferred flakes to crackers.

Right on Charles Kettering, although he wasn’t a doctor; he was a General Motors vice president and director of research, who agreed to oversee the creation of a cancer research institute “on industrial principles”, funded by a donation from his boss Alfred Sloan.
