The person I seek is not shown in the clues. Name the individual (include a picture if you can find one), and name his invention (and show a picture).

Linda Carter, Wonder Woman = WONDER
Is = IS
The = THE
Genesis = BEGINNING
Of = OF
Norman Wisdom, comedian = WISDOM
Sock = SOC
Rat = RAT
Tees = ESE

Ergo-
Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.- Socrates.

Try this: With luck, you might need your thinking caps for this one. Persons shown in the clues do not appear in the answer. Show a person, name him, specify what he was famous for, and give us a date for this individual’s
accomplishment.

Is it about Mark?

I’m having trouble scrolling past Shania ‘Twain’
The brain wants to, but the fingers are unwilling.

I can see the obvious, but the last four pics are eluding me.

Something about ‘innocents’ ?

Nearly there 😉

Forget Innocents abroad. Look at the date on the Indian Head penny.

The title of the book written by Mark Twain is The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin. That is correct. But what about the rest of the clues? @Charlemagne1333 has been hinting at the meaning, but no awards until somebody completes the answer.
