Say, before Edison died, he uploaded a copy of his consciousness to an android body, which he 'backs up' in his secret lab every so often.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I certainly wouldn't mind you making some tweaks at all!<br/><br/>I do think that consciousness uploading is a little too advanced for 1931, but I think it would be acceptable if Edison created a comprehensive archive of phonogaph recordings and motion pictures explaining his wishes so he could continue to run his company after his death.  Alternatively, he could have a clone, identical twin brother, reincarnation, ressurected form, or have gotten cybernetics and retired from public life to live as a crazy moleman.  Another possibility is a medium or psychic contacting his ghost, or his ghost posessing a phonograph or magic lantern to communicate from beyond the grave.  Perhaps he blinks his first light bulb on and off in morse code.<br/><br/>This is a comic book universe, so death is, at best, a minor obstacle.
