Stupid? I'll have you know that thanks to chemistry I was able to concoct an incredibly effective mind-controlling agent. ... And you don't know a thing about my robots!
But who needs robots when you can just mind control others into doing your bidding. Against their own will, no less.
I'd throw in the robots as well though, later on. I mean, any self-respecting world-conquering villain needs an evil robot army at some point. Hmmm, and perhaps some obedience collars just in case.
