Konrad Zuse

Konrad Zuse (22 June 1910 – 18 December 1995) was a German civil engineer, inventor and computer pioneer. His greatest achievement was the world's first programmable computer (and sentient as for SSF lore) the functional program-controlled Turing-complete - Z3, whom he sees as his son.

He plays a central role in the Super Science Friends 2099 comic. A younger version of him makes a cameo in Episode three, where he is nominated in the maniacal engineering category for his electrical maniacal computer (Z3).

Trivia

 * In real life, one his computers, Z3, didn't become functional until 1941, which happens to be the same year in which the main timeline of the series takes place.
