In 1942, he oversees the Manhattan Project, which is motivated by the Nazis’ nuclear weapons program, to produce an atomic bomb. Oppenheimer’s attitude on nuclear weapons development is controversial, and AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss criticizes him for his public humiliation and unwillingness to engage with the Soviet Union. Strauss organizes a private meeting in 1954 to withdraw Oppenheimer’s Q clearance, harming his public image and diminishing his influence on nuclear strategy. President Lyndon B. Johnson bestows the Enrico Fermi Award to Oppenheimer in 1963.

Harry Groener Buffy the Vampire Slayer

He appeared as Mayor Wilkins and the First Evil in the American supernatural drama television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Richard Wilkins served as Mayor of Sunnydale from its inception until 1999. Wilkins was a sorcerer focused on becoming a pure demon; he had formed pacts with demons to gain immortality and power, despite his public reputation as a charming, conservative, and lovely family guy. Wilkins treats Faith like a young woman and fosters her decline into evil, forming a father-daughter bond with her.

Faith is given lethal assignments by the Mayor, such as killing Skyler, retrieving the Box of Gavrok, and murdering Lester Worth. Angel, the Mayor’s vampire counterpart, is tempted to sacrifice his soul in order to obtain Buffy’s approval. Faith tries to seduce him but is unsuccessful owing to Angel’s aversion to intimacy. Wilkins employs a demonic shaman to extract Angel’s soul, and Faith and Angel collaborate to apprehend Buffy. The loss of Angel’s soul, on the other hand, is a ploy by the Scooby Gang to dupe Faith into disclosing the Ascension on Graduation Day at Sunnydale High.
