Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who lived during the 19th and 20th century. He was best known as the inventor of the light bulb and the phonograph.

In Antarctica on December 2, 1984, the immortal Flint - then using the pseudonym "Dr. Wilson Evergreen" - told Gary Seven and Khan Noonien Singh that Edison had stolen many of his ideas and presented them as his own.
