Like iocaine (as per The Princess Bride). As with the irony, maybe the actor should have read the Evil Overlord lists.

A murderer who uses it is guaranteed to die from the same drug by the end of the story.

Gee, you’d think the antidote would be an injection of iron-y.

Because, as we know from Superman if a little is fatal, a lot… causes the body to build up an immunity.

Or is that only on Earth-Bob?

If it’s only use is to cause an instant heart attack, isn’t it really more appropriate to call it a poison or toxin?

Since he sees they’re changing into the Terror Twins does that mean they both wear the exact same costume? To confuse and frighten their opponents, like the Marvel comics z-listers the Brothers Grimm?

Isn’t pure nicotine also more or less in the guaranteed instant heart attack range? And, if you’re victim’s a heavy smoker, less likely to be picked up? :) Admittedly, I speak from little more experience than what I’ve seen in literature.

What about potassium chloride? Isn’t that a real compound which causes a heart attack? (granted using a much, much larger dose than what comic book villains generally use)
