Tesla vs. Edison... who is the better inventer?

[The Ghost of RubangB]

Tesla is better, for winning over the hearts and minds of artists in every medium.

If you don't want to look through those lists, just open them to see how much longer Tesla's is.


And since this is a gaming forum, it's important to note that it doesn't list any video games with anything named after Edison, but there are things named after Tesla in Command and Conquer, Ratchet and Clank, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, a Quake II mission pack, Tomb Raider, Destroy All Humans, City of Heroes, Fallout, and many others. He's even a character in some other games. It looks like the game development community has made their choice: Tesla is way more awesome.



Ooh, here's Tesla on the TEN MILLION Yugoslav Dinars bill:



I ain't never seen bunk-ass Edison on any fucking dinars.



And here is a link to the music video for the song "Edison's Medicine" by the band Tesla, from 1991: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UxNuYHiSfI

Any Edison fans know about any cool tributes to Edison in music, comics, books, games, movies, or plays? Or is he always going to be the villain because he was an evil shithead and the truth is out?
