"It's alive. Oh, it's alive, it's alive!  IT'S ALIVE!"

Dr. Frankenstein

Dr. Frankenstein is the most famous mad scientist of all time. He's appeared in countless stories, along with many parodies, such as Dr. Finkelstein.

In the Novel

Dr. Frankenstein originates from the 1818 novel, Frankenstein, by Marry Shelly.

His full name is Victor Von Frankenstein, and he is a tragic character who started out as a medical student trying to achieve necromancy. He illegally dug up bodies and sewed them together to make a living creature that would later become known as the Frankenstein Monster.

Victor wanted his creation to be beutiful, immortal, and super human. Immortal and superhuman? Yes. Beutifull? No. The creature was so hideous, that Dr. Frankenstein fled the lab in horror. The monster was gone the next day, but the unhinged doctor started seeing him everywhere.

Victors fears were confirmed when his younger brother, William Frankenstein, was found dead. On that same night, he saw an evil looking siloet in a storm. Victor knew that the monster had done it, evan when his servant Justine was found with Williams locket.

If Victor truly cared for Justine, he did nothing to defend her when she was trialed and hanged (though what could he have done). Dr. Frankenstein set out to the Alps to find the monster and take his revenge on him. When he found the monster, he berated it with empty threats, and cursed it for it's evil.

The monster took Victor to his hut and told him about what happened to him after he abandoned him. Of how he had been hated and shunned mankind. He had lost his mind and set out for revenge against Dr. Frankenstein for creating and abandoned him. He had killed William on finding out that he was a Frankenstein, and framed Justine for the murder. He told Victor that he had reformed, and that all he wanted in life a companion. The monster told Victor that as his father, he owed him some happiness, and promised that if he made him a bride, he would leave human kind alone forever. Victor agreed to do this only for the sake of his fellow man.

Victor did the same thing he did before, and created a female version of the monster. But when he saw the monster watching anticapantly through window, and thought of giving the monster happiness after what he had done to him, the dispicable doctor went into a rage and destroyed the lifless bride.

He regretted this treachery on his wedding night, when the monster killed his best friend Henry, and his new wife Elizabeth. Victor went insane, and had to be locked up for a while. When he was released, he chased the monster all the way to the Arctic, where he was picked up by a ship.

He told the captain the tale of him and the monster. Victor was in a weakened condition, and when called the captain to talk to him, it would be the last conversation he ever had. He said he no longer hated the monster he created. He now knew that he had failed it, and that he, Victor, was responsible for the acts of evil it commited. But he told the captain that it had to be destroyed, and that he, the captain, had to be the one to do it. Dr. Frankenstein then died of exation.
