Is there a name for this specific concept? Where somebody invents something (to do them good) but then that thing turns around and backfires on them?

Not sure about a name, but:

Weird seeing Stockton Rush on there when most of the other inventors are pre-20th century.
I like how Thomas Andrews and Stockton Rush are right next to each other on that list. Kinda poetic.
Shame there aren’t pictures. A lot of these sound pretty cool.
