Official Biography[]

Species: Reanimated Corpse

Created: At Geneva in 1818

Habitat: He lives in European towns

In 1818, a young chemist named Victor Frankenstein attempted to build a 'perfect' human using parts from dead bodies. Unfortunately, his final creation was far from perfect - the monster received the brain of a murderer by mistake, making him very violent. He was quite ugly, couldn't talk, and had bad manners to boot! A bolt of lightning brought this monster to life, giving him superhuman strength. He had a hard time making friends and was often chased and stoned by the villagers. When Victor refused to build him a girlfriend, he became angry, killed several people and left to lead a life alone in the Arctic wastelands. This is definitely a moody guy!

The 2006 redesign of the monster was heavily changed, but was still recognisable as a classic interpretation of Frankensteins monster. It retained the shaggy covering, long arms, boots and chain, but was far bulkier. The skin was now a pale, deathly tone instead from the traditional green. The Monster's trading card has a total points value of 179. His background photo is some sort of mechanical laboratory.

Official Card Biography[]

The monster has been put together with pieces from different bodies. He has a square head and pegs sticking out of his forehead to hold his brain together. This humanoid is extremely strong and uses heavy iron chains and huge wooden clubs as weapons.

Upcoming Animated Series[]

Origin[]

The Monster is clearly based off the titular monster in Mary Shelly's novel Frankenstein, which is often considered the first ever science fiction novel.

A mad scientist named Doctor Victor Frankenstein created a monster made from pieces of dead bodies and used electricity to bring it to life.

Frankenstein's monster is often portrayed as a vicious killer without much ability to think. In the original story, however, the nameless creature was highly intelligent. It was eager to learn about life and human emotions; it spoke well and even learned to read. In the novel, the people around it turned Dr. Frankenstein's creation into a monster. Everyone who looked upon Dr. Frankenstein's creature turned in horror from it's hideous appearance, and it shunned human contact. Forced with such a lonely existence, the monster swore vengeance upon its creator.

The creature killed its doctor's younger brother and framed a friend for the crime. Knowing he was responsible, Dr. Frankenstein was tormented by guilt. The doctor agreed to make a female companion for his monster, but destroyed the new creation before it was finished. In a fit of rage, the monster strangled the doctor's best friend and fiancé to make sure he lived a lonely life as well.

After accepting its isolation, Frankenstein's monster flees to the extreme north to live out the rest of its lonely life. Unable to live with the idea that the monster is still out there, and may kill again, Victor Frankenstein chases after it. The miserable doctor is unable to catch up with his creation, and dies from exposure to the Arctic cold. The monster carries its creator's body away.
