Talk:Frankenstein (DC Comics)

Who is this about?

The box gives his first appearance as Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein #1, but his creator as Len Wein.

If the character's first appearance was in Seven Soldiers, then his creator was Grant Morrison, and if his creator was Wein then his first appearance was in Phantom Stranger.

I've decided the character is distinct enough from Wein's that it probably qualifies as a Morrison creation (or, rather, a Morrison reworking of Shelley), and adjusted the box accordingly. Daibhid C 18:48, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Looks like we might have to come back to this as this articles focus is all over the place and is more confusing than helpful. It seems to be discussing at least 3 possibly different characters. Is there any actual evidence that the Len Wein Frankenstein is the Morrison Frankenstein is the Young Frankenstein (comics) (the last one suggest a link but it looks horribly like guesswork/original research/speculation). If there is no evidence for the links then I'd suggest we refocus this back on the Seven Soldiers character and perhaps mention the other two in a section towards the end.

The changeover happening here. (Emperor (talk) 04:33, 2 November 2008 (UTC))

Morrison says: "Frankenstein is my own version of the Mary Shelley monster with only a slight nod in the direction of DC's 70s Spawn of Frankenstein character" [1]. Which is enough for me to put it back to being fully focused on the Seven Soldiers member. I also wonder about the mention of Doc Frankenstein, smells like speculation to me.

Anyway I'll leave this dangling for a bit in case I've overlooked something and then, if nothing crops up, I'll make the changes. (Emperor (talk) 05:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC))

There are several versions of the Frankenstein('s Monster) and I believe each should have a distinct history with first appearance applying to each with each creator and illustrations if available. For instance, The Spawn of Frankenstein was a separate version and received an entry in the DC Who's Who when it first came out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.97.37.190 (talk) 05:23, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

It’s very confusing, this article - the text says that Bob Kane introduced the character, but the character biography clearly doesn’t fit a time line created by Kane, and also suddenly talks about “issue three”, so may actually be a specific synopsis of a series or run of comics (the Grant Morrison one?).
