Behind the Scenes

The novel has influenced many Doctor Who stories, most notably The Brain of Morbius.

Peter Cushing portrayed Baron Frankenstein for multiple movies.

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

Frankenstein was a novel written by human author Mary Shelley in the 19th century, and is considered by some to be the first true science fiction novel. It concerned the efforts of the title character to reanimate deceased human tissue, and his creation from parts of a new living being, with horrific results. The term "Frankenstein's monster" entered the human vernacular as a metaphor for a scientific achievement or other endeavor that has unforeseen negative consequences.

In 1970, Gary Seven commented that humans were too socially primitive to accept human cloning, for fear of creating a Frankenstein monster. Roberta Lincoln was surprised, given Seven's extraterrestrial origins, that he was familiar with the story. (TOS - Star Trek: Assignment: Earth comic: "My Name Is Legion")

In 2270, Frankenstein was one of a few novels discussed by Hikaru Sulu and Mandala Flynn aboard the USS Enterprise. (TOS novel: The Entropy Effect)

The novel served as the basis of several motion pictures created in the mid-20th century, which remained popular through the 22nd century. Trip Tucker was a fan of these films, and organized multiple screening aboard the Enterprise. Subcommander T'Pol considered the story to be a insightful study of human psychology. (ENT episode: "Horizon")

In 2366, when Wesley Crusher pondered over an out of control nanite experiment he said that, "It's just a science project". Guinan responded that, "You know, a doctor friend once said the same thing to me. Frankenstein was his name". (TNG episode: "Evolution")

Given that Guinan spent some time on 19th century Earth (as established in "Time's Arrow") it is not certain whether she was simply exhibiting dry humor, or if she was asserting a factual basis for the original novel.

The name Frankenstein was unofficially given to the USS Einstein following its assimilation by the Borg. (TNG novel: Greater Than the Sum)

From Muppet Wiki

Frankenstein is the title of a gothic novel by Mary Shelley, first published in 1818 (and revised in 1831). The work focuses on a scientist's quest to create new life from dead matter, and along with Bram Stoker's Dracula, has become one of the iconic horror texts, adapted into dozens of films. The original 1931 film from Universal Studios starred Boris Karloff as the monster.

The term "Frankenstein" initially referred to the monster's creator, scientist Victor Frankenstein. However, following the film's success, "Frankenstein" has been popularly used to refer to the monster. Make-up artist Jack Pierce's design of a square-headed, bolt-necked brute has become the standard depiction of the monster, in contrast to the vaguely described, intelligent creature in the novel.

The cinematic depiction of the Frankenstein monster, and its 1935 sequel,Bride of Frankenstein, have frequently been spoofed or referenced in Muppet productions.

History

At first Dr. Fenkenstrain was a lonely scientist who lived in parts unknown. Later on he decided to move into Morytania, but due to it being inhabited by werewolves he knew he would surely be killed. However, in order to avoid this, he obtained employment with a local rich human family who possessed the Ring of Charos, an ancient magic talisman that fools werewolves into thinking the human who possesses it to be another werewolf.

Fenkenstrain eventually decided to steal the Ring of Charos but he was caught by his master, Lord Rologarth, and Fenkenstrain was forced to kill him. With his master dead, Fenkenstrain was later caught by the other family members, and he killed them as well. With the family dead, Fenkenstrain took control of the castle and got rid of the bodies by selling them as meat for the Hair of the Dog inn in Canifis.

Eventually the family gardener started suspecting the disappearance of the family and a desperate Fenkenstrain sent him to dig graves in the woods. However, when the gardener left, Fenkenstrain followed him and decapitated him with a shovel, turning him into the headless Gardener Ghost.

Since then Fenkenstrain has lived alone in the castle, however he eventually started recruiting a new assistant, leading to the events of the Creature of Fenkenstrain quest.

Appearances

Dr. Fenkenstrain appears in a number of quests.

Creature of Fenkenstrain

Main article: Creature of Fenkenstrain

Fenkenstrain meets the hero in this quest, here the hero gets Fenkenstrain a pair of arms, a pair of legs, a torso, a head and a brain. Upon doing this Fenkenstrain unites these pieces into a human body and, using lightning, he brings the creature back to life.

However the brain that was used is the one of Lord Rologarth, whom Fenkenstrain had killed years ago. Upon learning the history of the castle, the hero turns on Fenkenstrain by stealing the Ring of Charos from him. Fenkenstrain - now human to the werewolves again - locks himself in the highest tower of the castle to be safe.

The Great Brain Robbery

Main article: The Great Brain Robbery

In the Great Brain Robbery, the hero needs a brain surgeon to transplant brains into undead monks of Harmony Island, and decides to go with Fenkenstrain.

Fenkenstrain at first refuses but then considers the fact that the werewolves will not get him in Harmony Island and decides to go. After the surgery, Mi-Gor, the undead surgeon that had removed the brains in the first place gets infuriated and sets his robotic, undead, bodyguard monster Barrelchest on the Doctor and the hero saves Fenkenstrain by killing the beast.

Upon seeing his monster defeated, Mi-Gor flees to parts unknown. Fenkenstrain decides to stay on Harmony Island to make up for his past mistakes.
