If the topic is someone who changed world thought, then it will be hard to get past “the obvious” since there are only a limited number of people (present and past) who qualify. (You could no doubt google to refresh your memory.)

To pick, say, Ulysses S. Grant might be original and nonobvious but it would not be credible or defensible at a world level.

Imo, therefore, concentrate less on finding a nonobvious person and concentrate more on thinking well and imaginatively about someone who may indeed be obvious.

This is not an easy prompt!
