In the Oobleck version of Edison's life a very different set of events occur
from other fictionalized accounts (such as the Mickey Rooney movie, Young Tom Edison; or the Spencer Tracy movie,Tom Edison; the Man, or some of the sycophantic biographies he dictated himself.)
Do you know this victim? NIKOLA TESLA Edison screwed him in real life by: Underpaying him (when he was an employee) Firing him (when he became afraid of his genius) And spreading lies about him. Tesla died poor although his genius far exceeded Edison's. He is pictured above with George Westinghouse who made his fortune because of Tesla, but only paid him a weekly allowance and died leaving him nothing. For more stuff on this victim click below
VICTIM #1
Do you know this victim? HELEN KELLER Edison never killed Helen Keller in real life. In our story he really wishes he didn't have to, but some- times if you want to make something of yourself in life you have to murder little blind girls. For more stuff on this victim click below
VICTIM #2
Do you know this victim? ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL In "Necessity", Edison doesn't kill Bell,but he does ruin his life. You might think that in real life two of the most famous inventors would be friends, but that's not the case. Edison disliked Bell because he believed Bell was trying to steal the phonograph. But this wasn't true - Even though it worked and looked just like Edison's phonograph, Bell called his version a "graphaphone." For more stuff on this victim click below
