We're beginning to wonder if developer 2K Boston modeled BioShock bad guy Frank Fontaine after the game's Creative Director, Ken Levine.

It's not that Levine's a master manipulator of us common folk (uh...we don't think so, anyways). He's just a no-good cheat. Just look at some of his responses and non-responses to our 21 Random Qs interview below! (See #3, 17, 18, 19, and 21.)

And don't miss the vague hint as to what he's working on next....

1. Who is your favorite comic-book superhero? Outside of anyone from Freedom Force, that is.

Ken Levine: When you're getting beat up in the 7th grade every day and you find Spider-Man, it changes your life.

2. Favorite water-based activity?

Levine: Drinking.

3. If you could have dinner with any one person in the world, who would it be?

Levine: Coen Brothers. They're two people, so I cheated.

4. Favorite childhood toy?

Levine: Atari 2600, natch.

5. Earliest gaming memory?

Levine: Playing Avalon Hill board games with my brother: PanzerBlitz, Starship Troopers, etc.

6. One thing you most wish you had invented or created?

Levine: Magic the Gathering. Amazing design and brilliant business concept in one.

7. Tell us one interesting fact about yourself:

Levine: Speech impediment until the 7th grade. Couldn't say my "S" sounds.

8. Favorite sports team?

Levine: 1973 Mets.

9. Favorite magazine you still subscribe to?

Levine: Amazing Spider-Man.

10. Current favorite TV show?

Levine: Mad Men.

11. Political lean?

Levine: Disappointed. Except for gay marriage -- that's been going well. Congrats Pat and Mark!

12. What pieces of media or entertainment did you make your team soak up to research for BioShock?

Levine: Very partial list: The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, Miller's Crossing, New York architecture, Fight Club, Django Reinhardt, The Manchurian Candidate...

13. Developer or studio you really admire?

Levine: Brian Reynolds, amongst a million others.

14. Website you visit every day?

Levine: Quarter to Three.

15. Favorite all-time gaming platform?

Levine: PC.

16. Best videogame of all time? Excluding any you've worked on...

Levine: Civilization.

17. Favorite setting and era you've researched for a game?

Levine: Can't say, doing it now!

18. Who's more irrational: Game publishers or fanboys?

Levine: Pubs. No, fanboys! Wait, no, pubs!

19. What one piece of modern technology would you bring with you to your new, sealed-off-from-the-world underwater home?

Levine: Computer with Internet connection. Is that cheating? Screw it.

20. All-time favorite singer or band?

Levine: John Lennon.

21. If you can only have one BioShock plasmid power in real life, which would it be?

Levine: Most of them wouldn't be much use around the house, unless your house was really, really violent.
