He was a brilliant chemical engineer who ended up having the most tragic of legacies . He probably had a greater effect on earth's ecosystem than any other single organism.

A terrible person who also died testing his own invention. So even though he caused massive damage to the Earth and humanity he also is responsible for the death of one of the biggest threats to the Earth and humanity so at least one thing he did was helpful.

Just like heroic Adolf Hitler who killed the evil Adolf Hitler, sacrificing his own life in the process.

Now I imagine an episode of Quantum Leap where Sam Beckett is Hitler in the bunker.

Brilliant? From reading the Wikipedia page it sure does seem like he just wanted to invent stuff no matter how terrible it was for humans, including himself. And he made up fake press conferences to “prove” that it was safe. Completely unethical and idiotic.
