1868: Physicist Robert Andrews Millikan born. He will win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1923 for the measurement of the elementary electronic charge and for his work on the photoelectric effect.
1869: Aquatic cryptid and alleged supervillain Neptune Slaughter steals Thomson tide calculator for personal use; Steampunks outraged.
1909: Physicist Nathan Rosen born. He will develop the idea of the Einstein–Rosen bridge, later named the wormhole.
1929: Art critic and alleged supervillain The Eel attends birthday party for Nathan Rosen. They will later collaborate on ideas which will lead The Eel to construct a portable wormhole generator.
1948: Computer programmer and crime-fighter Jean Bartik uses the ENIAC computer to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1990: Engineer Gerald Bull assassinated. He attempted to build artillery guns which could launch satellites into orbit.
2001: Capacitor plague affects several brands of portable envy devices.
2002: Portable envy components at risk of capacitor plague.
