*In the wishful thinking department: Maybe in Terramagne, Franklin gets as much deserved credit, if not more, than Watson and Crick. I'd like to see those two get busted for intellectual thievery, frankly. Regarding Franklin, I hope she also lives to an old age in that universe? Had medicine (and gender bias issues, ahem) advanced enough to deal more effectively with cancer by then, over there?
*Something about Santos-Dumont's family's descendants, Cartier's gifted watch, and the intersection of family lore with truth at its heart, superpowers, and the science of supergizmology. Basically, all the quirky, friendly scholarship and welcome power enhancement, please! :) Bonus points if Santos-Dumont's family are proud Brazilians in the present day. Yes, he lived in France, but he didn't *start* there.
