Meh. They claimed he was a communist - but then, they claimed just about everyone was a communist during the middle 20th century. Sure, he was from a Communist country; but I'd like to point out he lived and worked in the US, most of his patents were here, and he quit working with Edison because he wasn't getting paid enough. There's enough of a conspiracy theory that the government branded him a Communist just to get ahold of his patents (many of which are still sealed).
Anyway, though, I agree - he wouldn't wear a mohawk. He always had his hair parted down the middle: therefore, I submit to you... The Teslahawk
Imagine, if you will, a mohawk parted down the center into a V shape. With arcs of electricity running between it.
