31 Buffy The Vampire Slayer characters
15: Teenage Frankenstein
As Dracula was followed by Frankenstein in the Universal horror cycle, Buffy Vs. Dracula was followed by Milli Vs. Frankenstein when we did that episode of The Watch House. Buffy had a couple of stitched together superscience revivals, and Angel had a subplot about technomagical transplants and an evil hand.
Assorted comics, The Monster Squad and Van Helsing have the original creature doing face turns, and I, Frankenstein takes the “handsome guy with slight scarring” approach to an extreme. And besides The Munsters I’m old enough to remember a sitcom about the monster called Struck By Lightning.
Anyway, the Robot Quality’s good enough for government work. (Though also really cheap!) I had one of these guys in a Buffy game for a while, who could pass as a regular guy as long as he kept his shirt on.
“Shelley”
Type: Hero
 |
| Miguel Bernardeau |
Description: Large and glowery
Example quote: “I don’t know the name that comes with my face, or with of my hands, but I do know that life is precious. And also that I like chimichangas. That last part might not be so relevant but I just found that out today so I thought I’d mention it.”
The creation of some unwise experiments who escaped into the world, “Shelley” helped the gang against his creators. His face is unfamiliar and his fingerprints don’t seem to be on record, so he’s not sure who - or how many - his donors were. Built from more-or-less compatible parts, and capable of things like eating and sleeping, he’s one of the more successful attempts in the Buffyverse.
