Yep, pretty much this. Dr. Quinzel may not have seemed as much throughout most of her supervillain career, but she's a very clever woman. She's had her troubles, and most of them were at least partially her own fault, but they were primarily emotional, not intellectual. INT 18, WIS 8, as it were. :)

I pray you, in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice; then must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought
Perplex'd in the extreme.
- Othello, Act 5, Scene 2
