Does it have to be for good? I'd go for Alan Turing. I think without Turing the Allies might well have lost WW2. Another possibility would be Paul Dirac. He was so original that without him modern physics might not have happened for a very long time. let's face it thousnds of string theorists working for two decadeshave achieved less than Dirac.
