- Powers: in 1951, he punched through the wall between the legendary twin cities of Analyti City and Syntheti City, thereby debunking the Empiricist Dogma that Analyti City was populated Weaknesses: possible world semantics, baldness Notes: W. V. Quine™ is a ruthless warrior who always follows the Maxim of Maximal Mutilation. When he races into battle, his war cry “GAVAGAI!” pierces the air, terrifying his foes, even though no one knows what it means.

- Powers: poker-wielding ability Weaknesses: teaching ability Notes: Wittgenstein figures come in two variations: the early model’s recorded messages include nonsense about language being a “picture” of the world, while the later model’s messages include nonsense about games and their “family resemblances” to one another. It’s fun to communicate! (Doll does not actually communicate. Children who claim that Wittgenstein figures talk to them with their own “private language” are mistaken or lying and should be severely beaten by their teachers.)
