Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Clemens, a satirist known for his wit and his travelings. He wrote Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many consider to be the Great American Novel, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Around 1867, he fought (and bested) Ravage.
Fiction
Hearts of Steel
While living in San Francisco, Mark Twain befriended other writers of his day, such as Jules Verne. At great expense, Mark Twain hired a ferry to take him and Verne out into the middle of San Francisco Bay to witness Tobias Muldoon's new invention, a "sub-marine". However, a technical mishap plunged the sub-marine to the bottom of the bay, a misfortune that brought laughter from Twain, Verne, and the ferry's skipper. Hearts of Steel #1
While at the estate of Muldoon's investor, Stanford Merriweather, Muldoon suddenly returned, pursued by the Decepticon Ravage. Due to Muldoon's bravery, he was able to shepherd everyone out of the house. Twain, in the meantime, had intentionally left a gas leak. Tossing his cigar into the house, he caused it to explode, sending a singed Ravage off into the distance. Hearts of Steel #3
Ultimately, Mark Twain teamed up with Muldoon, Merriweather and his daughter Kitty, steel-drivin' man John Henry, and the Autobots to defeat the Decepticons and their impressive locomotive engineering feat, the Astrotrain. Hearts of Steel #4
Notes
