1) Develop a hypothesis.
2) Make predictions designed to test the hypothesis.
3) Design multiple, well-controlled experiments to test those predictions.
4) If the results are not what was expected, re-formulate the hypothesis.
5) Results must be recorded and reported. Publishing is vital, so the scientific community may reproduce and confirm your results.
Note: Someone really needs to remind Jim Barr that his experiment was designed end criminal behavior, so destroying it to prevent it from falling into criminal hands is rather silly, since anyone who used it could no longer be criminal. That means you didn't have any real confidence that your theory to begin with. Plus, testing on yourself, when you had no criminal tendencies, does nothing to prove or disprove your theory. Double plus, since that serum cured "all germs" and cleansed his body of all "poisons," the nimrod just flushed a Nobel-prize winning cancer cure down the drain.
SCIENCE!!!!
BONUS: Why CSI would not have succeeded as a series in the 1940s:
The origin of Bulletman came from Nickel Comics #1, 1940.

Man, I love these. It's going to be nothing but golden age comics in my reading bin for a while . . . thanks for reviewing them, and I hope you'll do more.
