A more obscure choice, but Zzzax, an arch enemy of the Incredible Hulk seemingly fits the bill.

Nikola Tesla's work was revolutionary—his vision for wireless power is incredible. As for characters, I’d say Cole MacGrath from inFAMOUS is a favorite; his ability to control electricity seems like a fitting tribute to Tesla’s genius!
