Who was the most flawed genius of all time?

TeddyTedson

I think it has to be Hitler.
Revolutionised the medical world, wanted to create a master race, he fits the bill perfectly.
I don't think anyone can trump him,
but lets see...

Perhaps not a genius, but Charles Manson was actually a very talented musician and poet. It's difficult to listen to his songs without feeling weird though becuase, you know, he was a homicidal rapist psychopath.

Scioch

McGyver, he was too good natured and wasted his time working for that bald fella. Could have made a fortune if he had of went to into business himself.

Alan Turing was another one who got a raw deal. Poor old sod caught the ghey and it all went downhill.

Certainly as talented but didn't **** himself up as much, in that he's still alive I guess.

He was the first I thought of when I seen the thread title. Judging by today`s world, he would still have the same let down as in his own time.

It's a total myth that Hitler was genius, he was anything but, he was an uneducated beerhall thug for the most part who brought the German people to their knees rather than helped them.

His constant interfering cost Germany the war.

He made mistake after mistake including badly treating the people he conquered who eventually rose up against him.

There are so many examples of his stupidity its beyond a joke.

Mussolini, made the trains run on time

I've been to Italy and they are worse then CIE for price gouging the tourist routes, dirty trains and constantly being late

So it was quite an achievement to kick the railway companies into shape

He had a few flaws though
