No, I had something for 2. That event fired off and is happening now. I just replaced it with the Nega-Doof event for the next time I roll on the random event table- I won't have the same events happening over and over again.

I love this idea, it's perfectly in character for Doof and sounds like something you'd see in the show, but unfortunately I can't let you get your hands on a universal translator that easily. Universal Translation will eventually unlock as a research option if you continue down certain paths.

I doubt we'll need it for a while. I know plenty of aliens that speak perfect English, even if they've never heard of Earth before!
Ok, been thinking about it for a bit and I have two Inator proposals
The good one: The Rube Goldberg-Inator! This Inator is the largest Inator ever built, spreading over the entirety of Doofania and incorporates everything from rolling bowling balls, time displaced carrier pigeons, to common circuitry. When activated by the press of a button this dastardly machine begins its evil work, and over the course of a month slowly activates until its final purpous, playing a reminder for Dr. Doofenshmirtz to call in for a new transistor for his car, the current one is not working properly. Oh it also seems to distract a lot of enemy agents,spies,and saboteurs who do not know its true purpose. (add a DC penalty to enemy actions in Dofania as they are distracted)
The bad one: The Everyone Think Like Me-Inator! Have you ever explained something to someone and have them wildly misunderstand because they don't get what you are going for? Annoying right? Well no longer! The Everyone Think Like Me-Inator will broadcast Dr. Doofenshmirtz's genius thought process to the entire Two and a Half State Area so when he asks for coffee they will know he wants almond milk! Oh, it may also be a security nightmare by just giving any foes nearby his thought process but that is a minor issue. (Lowers DC to enemy actions in Dofania)
@Made in Heaven do these work for Inators?

Hey @Made in Heaven, can you add the Sudden Deathinator we made a while back to the Inator list? I think the players would love it!

Quick question for @Made in Heaven but how bad was the former ceo of ACME compared to us and Wile?
- Location
- Pennsylvania
Yep, these work! They're quirky, in-character, and not overpowered. They'll be added to the Inator list and will have a chance of showing up whenever you want to activate one.
Sudden Deathinator is added. Good idea!
The former CEO of ACME was so bad that not one of the board members raised a finger to help him. He also did all those terrible things.

He's Mr. Chairman from the Looney Tunes: Back in Action film. The main antagonist who wanted the Blue Monkey. Not a nice guy.
Pretty sure he dunked Ron Perlman in acid or something, because without rewatching the movie I explicitly remember Perlman being turned into a skeleton.
EDIT: He was eaten by Taz, not dropped in a giant pool of acid. My mistake.

Actually it was because of Taz eating him after the Chairman released him to attack Perlman.

We should start growing facial hair. All the best evildoers in history had something, but for us - maybe a beard? Twirling mustache is a bit overdone. Plus it allows us to exert dominance over those inferior, facial hairless villains like Syndrome.
Edit:
The Anti-Shaveinator: A handheld raygun that stimulates hair growth on any living thing. Surely, this inator is of untold power from curing male pattern baldness to growing facial hair without those gross neckbeards or ugly Michael Cera upper lip fuzz. Instead, simply adjust the dial to achieve the perfect rugged look. Product not recommended for use in women or small children.
The Teleport-inator: A four-ton platform that utilizes three massive pylons to accumulate quantum particles. Merely use the device's supercomputer to punch in a destination and the quantum particles will teleport you from the platform faster than the speed of light! There are, unfortunately two drawbacks. Firstly, the device has an effective range of only three feet. Secondly, you wind up smelling like quantum particles all day and it takes a trip to the dry cleaner to get the scent out of your lab coat.

Decent Success
Francis wasn't really able to help with much on this one, but that intern of his sure managed to pull his weight! It turns out that the Major's handwriting is nearly as bad as your own, so he was able to decode your Greevil Living Plans in record time and start to translate that into something functional! Your research has revealed that more efficient food sources are needed- rather than farms that take months to mature, you should focus on something that takes weeks instead! The solution? Algae! Nutritious and (debatably) delicious, this little lifeform can be packed into nutrient-dense cakes, or just used as a powder to enhance already-existing food. This sort of thing has seen a bit of popularity over in San Fransokyo and even more in Japan, but this is the first push anyone in the country has made to actually marketing the stuff.
That still didn't solve the problem of protein, so you turned to crickets for that! While the concept of eating bugs may put off a great many people, one thing they can't argue with is how efficiently they can be farmed. Cattle use 12 times the amount of feed that crickets do to produce an equal amount of protein, whereas crickets also only use a quarter of the feed of sheep and one half the amount of feed given to swine and chicken to produce an equivalent amount of protein. People might not like it- Francis certainly seemed to hate it during taste tests- but they won't be going hungry anytime soon.
Finally came the problem of ensuring your Doofenshmirtz Quality Bratwurst would be available for all. Algae and crickets had the wrong texture so you needed an alternate source of meat. This source came from capybara and nutria, a group of rodents known for their explosive breeding, and in the case of the former, being historically sought out by South American explorers. Some people might balk at eating rodents, buuuuut… if you don't identify the source of the meat on the package, what they don't know won't hurt them!
Doofenshmirtz Algal Refineries and Doofenshmirtz Cricket Pulperies built all over Doofania!
Public opinion boosted significantly! Government opinion decreased slightly! They're happy you made a secure source of food, but they're unhappy that said source of food is in your hands!
Food insecurity problems averted!
More research options unlocked!
[ ] Investigate the 'dust bowl'
DC 55
44+14=58
Bare Success
Ever since the so-called 'dust bowl' sprung up over a few short days, the Feds have cordoned off the resulting area and turned away anyone looking to approach. You figured that the military border would naturally have some weak spots, and you were right! To a degree, at least. Turns out that their fleet of drones covered nearly all of the weak points in the barrier and your Away Team nearly got caught! Thankfully nothing actually came of this, though you're pretty sure Uncle Sam has narrowed his eyes in your direction. It's probably a good thing you sent Goofy off to appease them.
It turns out… that it wasn't a dust bowl at all. Instead of finding abandoned buildings left no more than a few months ago, you found… trash. Lots and lots of trash. Psychotically inordinate amounts. It would almost be funny if it weren't so truly pathetic. You're pretty sure that there isn't this much garbage on Earth, much less in the American midwest.
Unfortunately your Away Team encountered some difficulties in exploring. The air was choking them, their car stalled repeatedly, and even their cell phones had lost coverage. They turned back before things got too bad, but they did manage to catch sight of some buildings hidden among all that garbage… who knows what could lay inside?
Quest unlocked!
[ ] Complete the Super Mongol Serum
DC 40
15+38=53
Success
Without the rejects of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. there to screw things up, you were able to replicate the Super Mongol Serum practically in your spare time. You hate to admit it, but maybe Rodney was on to something here… 300% Khan is no joke! If you were ever to find more sources of Khan other than his current crop of descendants on Earth, maybe you could raise Genghis to even greater heights!
Khan seemed to literally glow with power when you injected him with the serum! Lightning crashed outside as he flexed his muscles that flowed with newfound power! He said something to you in Ancient Mongolian- you didn't catch all of it, though at least it sounded positive.
Genghis Khan has ascended to a higher potential!
'Atomic Genes' trait unlocked!
[ ] Develop a new OS
DC 65
3+24+8+1=36
Personal attention given!
66+24+8+1=99
Decent Success
You sure were lucky you decided to give L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. your personal attention. The first time you went to check on them they were trying to cobble together something out of an ancient OS from the early eighties! You know that company Windows Keyboards? Well, they were trying to cheat and use one of their early OSes as a jumping off point in the hopes that you wouldn't notice. You put a stop to that pretty quickly!
Once L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. realized that they couldn't phone this one in either, they buckled down to get some actual work done. You're surprised that the OS is as functional as it is, too! It's based off of the ENCOM desktop and architecture that everyone knows and hates, but every scrap of code is your own. It will be familiar enough for people to pick up quickly but entirely different in all the ways that matter. You've already upgraded all of your devices, and most of those in Doofania, with the new OS. You're prepared to release it to the world at large, though you could always wait until it undergoes some more refinements if you wish.
(You will have the opportunity to name the OS later.)

Francis was looking pretty grouchy so you decided to take some time out of your day to go and chat with him. You did just ruin his job and pretty handily crush him into the ground, so it's not inconceivable that he'd get angry enough to look past that Loyalty Oath you made him sign. The two of you spent a few awkward minutes glancing around the room in furtive silence, until you decided to bring up the topic of musical theatre. It turned out that ol' Monobrow enjoyed playing in The Pirates of Penzance way back when, just like how you enjoyed performing show-stopping numbers complete with chorus girls! All in all it was a pretty productive talk. You're not friends right now or anything, not even close, but at least he's a little less upset than before.

It occurred to you that none of your employees were really qualified in teaching English to a 13th century Mongolian warlord, so you had to seek help elsewhere. The classified ads seemed like a good place to start! You struck gold with this, securing the services of an actual Professor who went about teaching Genghis the basics of the language. To his credit, Khan appeared to catch on remarkably quickly! He seemed a bit put off by his teacher (a Von Druke or something? You don't remember) though the two seemed to get along after a while.
