Who are the potential "Carlsenogens" who could defeat Carlsen within 20 years?

They would have to be pretty young at that point... say, under 20.

Why would you call a Chinese guy Genghis Khan?

Any number of people could be a threat within 20 years, Welsey So, Richard Rapport, Samuel Sevian, Awonder LIang, Wang Hao, we have no idea.

Wei Yi can't be as good a prospect as this guy or he'd have an aura surrounding him, in a cosmic setting:

If you're speaking of players who are currently at the top, I think the main candidates are Caruana, Aronian and Karjakin.

If you look at younger players, four names seems to me most likely : Giri, So, Rapport, and Wei Yi.
