In one reality, a version of Frankenstein primarily addressed as Baron Frankenstein actually existed. This version survived his original adventure with Frankenstein's Monster and would later become acquainted with the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

Description

Physical appearance

Baron Frankenstein was an old man who resembled Boris Karloff. He had steel-grey eyes and a “shock of white hair”, and habitually wore a stained labcoat. He also carried a pair of rusting safety goggles around his neck. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

Personality

Frankenstein was a consummate scientist who loved nothing more than his work, particularly insofar as it involved pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible. His attitude to his work was scrupulously amoral, continuing his experiments throughout his life without intending to bring about tragedies, but having no visible remorse at those of his past failures which did so. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

Powers & abilities

Pythagoras-858 considered Frankenstein to be a genius on par with Sherlock Holmes. He was the originator of, and the living end on, a new branch of the medical sciences to do with the recomposition and reanimation of dead flesh. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

Biography

In this world, Baron Frankenstein survived his first creation's vengeful, confused rampage, although the Monster “nearly killed [him]”. He continued his experiments throughout his life, stocking the crumbling Castle Frankenstein with a supply of bodies to work from. At some point, the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids came across him and established some kind of arrangement with him, with one of their numbers apprenticing himself to the Baron and even taking his name.

Decades later from the Crew's perspective, but possibly less from the Baron's, he received a visit from Pythagoras-858 and Sherlock Holmes, who asked for his insights about the psychology of artificial beings rebelling against their creators, as part of their investigation in the mysterious freezing of Madame Tarsa into a magical block of ice and the theft of her cane. The Baron's stories of how his Monster had blended in with the criminal element inspired Pythe to next go looking for Tarsa's hypothesised rebellious creation in the Interdimensional Black Market.
