Why did Wagner have such an impact on the world?

Arguably, Wagner is the most influential composer of all time. The king of Bavaria built a castle in his honor, he was an obsessive fan much like you could see nowadays with teenage girls and boy bands.

Hitler was an equally obsessive fan, and almost seemed to structure his whole life around Wagner. I need not say that Wagner indirectly inspired the Holocaust, but there's more. Hitler went out of his way to meet and honour Wagner's descendants, and went to serious efforts to elevate him in the regime. He wasn't interested only in his music, but in every facet of his life, reading everything he wrote, and taking an interest in his personal life and relatives (again, much like a teenage fangirl would do). Not only that, but he set out in search of the Holy Grail, going to Spain specifically to find it. This is a remarkable coincidence if you consider the story of Parsifal.

So here we have a composer, who managed to seduce not one, but two major historical figures into absolute obsession. I cannot think of any other musician who has had this kind of impact on the world. What do you think was his magic, what did he have that other composers didn't?
