**The Incredible Vulk:** After receiving a radiation overdose while handling the Enterprise’s warp core, Mr. Spock undegoes a strange metamorphosis whenever faced with an illogical situation. As things become more illogical, he grows bigger, stronger, and more pedantic. While in this state, he will try to explain to those around exactly what is wrong with the situation that caused his transformation, and there is nothing more terrifying than a Vulcan in Full Lecture Mode.

Spock: …And that is why this situation makes no sense whatsoever. Do you understand?  
Redshirt who had to listen: Y-Yes.  
(Spock bulks up some more)  
Spock: I do not think you do. Therefore I shall explain it for a second time  
(Redshirt shoots self with own phaser)
