Okay, seriously?

UConn science professor is basically a superhero waiting to happen?

By day, this man is nothing but a mild-mannered scientist working at a university. But by night he struggles to invent a time machine so he can go back in time and save his dad, who died in 1955.

I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.

Here's a hint nutjob: Even if your dad hadn't died in 1955, he would probably be dead by now.
