''[[The Five Fists of Science]]'' is a [[Steampunk]] graphic novel created by [[Matt Fraction]] and Steven Sanders. It was published by [[Image]] in 2006. The plot involves [[Nikola Tesla]] and [[Mark Twain]] combining forces to try to bring about world peace through superior firepower. In the introduction, Twain explains that [[Based on a Great Big Lie|the story does not concern itself very much with historical accuracy]], which is fairly obvious by the plot.
Twain and Tesla use [[For Science!|science]], trickery and media manipulation to try and scare world leaders into listening to them and taking their ideas on board. They are aided by Baroness Bertha Von Suttner and the wholly fictional Timothy Boone, and together they fight the dark forces led by the dastardly dickhead inventor [[Revenge Fic|Thomas Edison]], John Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and Guglielmo Marconi (who didn't invent radio). The inventors and financiers are collaborating on a bizarre new skyscraper, the Innsmouth Tower, which has already caused construction workers to die in mysterious accidents on the building site.

* [[Based on a True Story]]: Funny enough, Twain and Tesla were friends in real life and actually ''did'' have a plan to end all war through a super science weapon.
