What if history’s most celebrated scientists hadn’t used their discoveries for the betterment of humankind but to fight each other in a Mortal-Kombat-esque game? That’s part of the premise behind this series of gifs that artist Diego Sanches made for Brazil’s Superinteressante magazine.
The game, Science Combat, is said to be ‘in development’, and it has 8 playable characters.
