A man-eating, shapeshifting alien. Einstein? [[spoiler:The real Einstein's less intelligent Evil Twin from an alternate universe]]. von Braun? Had a giant robotic left arm. And they're all [[spoiler:working together to take over the world, and thereafter the entire galaxy]]. Mentions are made here and there of other noted figures in science, industry, and politics and what they're "really" up to in the same period; for instance, Soichiro Honda, founder of the car company that bears his name, designed samurai MechaMooks for the Japanese military.
