Conrad, Bob, Bill and a Bishop
Conrad's performance in 1928 of a tragic victim inspired either Bob or Bill (it's difficult to place a finger on either one) in the creation of a comic villain. This comic villain first made his appearance in the Spring of 1940. Bob died in 1998. Conrad died in 1943.
There once was a Bishop who proposed nationalizing The Church, which led to an excommunication which was eventually undone. He spent two years in the US. A famous emperor thought he was "shit in a silk sock". (Though this was the 19th century, so one of those words has been changed). This man died in 1838. According to the original creator of the "Tragic Victim" above, where did the brain of this man end up? (This was something he claimed he saw firsthand.)
Don't be just another blundering American

We sent an email to Gavroche telling him he was ineligible.
Answers: Conrad Veidt, Bob Kane, and Bill Finger. Talleyrand's brain ended up in a sewer.
It's amazing what stepping away from a puzzle for a week or so will do. Sent nobody my answer(s). Via a couple of emails (you'll understand).
Hmmmm...strange that Gavroche didn't capitalize on this, since ultimately his website proved to be an invaluable resource.
