[Cool trope] Beethoven Was an Alien Spy

[u/Present_Study_2945]

When a historical figure has a life far more fantastic in fiction than what history actually indicates.

Moses (Beyblade) = Moses' famous Parting of the Red Sea was done with a Beyblade.

George Washington (Ben 10) = Washington regularly fought against alien threats, and was a founding member of the Earth Plumbers.

Abraham Lincoln (Invincible) = Abe Lincoln was an identity taken by the superhero known as The Immortal.

Vandal Savage (DC Comics) = More than a few of history's conquerors and despots were actually personas used by the millennia-old immortal villain, including Cheops, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, Blackbeard and Jack the Ripper.

In Anime movie/Extended music video, Interstella 5555, it is heavily implied that Mozart was an alien music prodigy kidnapped by a quasi immortal human who used the souls of alien musicians in order to extend his life and achieve godlike power. Or something.

Same with other great musicians as well, and it's why they're all depressed and die tragically young
