A word/phrase for someone who changes the world

You can consider the phrases great mind or creative genius. These terms are often associated with people who changed the world. I think the terms can serve as a grandiose title as well.

Here is the intro paragraph of an article titled "Creative Genius: The World's Greatest Minds" from livescience.com:

News of the death of Apple founder Steve Jobs on Oct. 5, 2011, has been received with sadness, admiration and gratefulness for a man considered a "creative genius" who "changed the world" in many ways. In addition to Jobs, plenty of great minds have challenged paradigms, opened windows into worlds we didn't even know existed, and produced innovations that have persisted through time. Here's a look at the world's titanic thinkers, from Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein to Stephen Hawking.

Note: Another bonus term is a titanic thinker from the same excerpt. Also related is an innovator but it might not convey the idea by itself, so you can consider the phrase world-changing innovator.

Additionally, there is simply world-changer as a self-explanatory term. The term is even listed in OED and there is an example from 2000:

So what makes The Beatles world-changers as well as best-sellers?
