![]() ![]() Enhanced Stamina: The Creature possesses an incredible stamina, and according to himself doesn't tire.Enhanced Strength: The Creature possesses incredible strength, as he proves by ripping his brother Proteus in two with his bare hands.It is here that he is given the name Caliban, after the sub-human son of the malevolent witch Sycorax, and primary antagonist in William Shakespeare's "The Tempest". He is given a job as a stage hand at the Grand Guignol Theatre, where he learns of performance arts and an exceptionally well-rounded vocabulary. When he finally leaves the place of his creation, he learns of both the cruelty and mercy of men in a single night, during which he was beaten unmercifully by a mob then given food and a home by Vincent Brand, an aged actor. Victor soon abandoned the Creature due to being frightened by his creation, leaving him all alone. The Creature was created in the former lab of Victor Frankenstein, he was born covered in blood and went hysterical most likely from pain. Victor's pity is stirred by the sight of his creation reduced to such remorseful suffering, however, and afterwards he begins using the body of the deceased Brona Croft to craft a mate for the Creature. ![]() This results in the Creature being dismissed from his job at the theatre - though Vincent expresses regret at doing so - and in his heartbroken state he is willing to let Victor shoot him. He is shown several small acts of kindness by Maud Gunneson, an actress at the Grand Guignol Theatre, but he tragically mistakes her attitude for one of romantic interest, and is almost driven to attack her in grief and anger when she later rejects him. The Creature nonetheless possesses a deeply compassionate side, and generally does not wish to harm others, despite their revulsion of him. ![]() When the Creature grows impatient with Victor's progress, he murders the respected Professor Van Helsing in order to remind Victor of what awaits him if he does not obey. His determination not to be alone results in him threatening Victor Frankenstein with the death of all he loves unless he creates for him an immortal bride. This leads him to act in a cold, ruthless manner, particularly towards his creator, whom he hates for abandoning him following his creation. It is clear that the Creature is desperately lonely, as a result of both the circumstances of his creation and the fact that he is the only one of his species. ![]() To his detriment, he also shares the same emotional needs as humans and is painfully aware of his artificial nature and monstrous appearance. Despite his appearance, destructive capabilities, and amazing athletic prowess, it is clear his intelligence is perfectly developed as well. However, he does retain facial scarring, similarly to the Hollywood portrayal. Like his counterpart from the novel, he has beautiful black shoulder length hair, horrific yellow eyes, black lips, and is blessed with superior speed, durability, and strength to that of mortal humans. His physical description rejects the popular Hollywood portrayal of a flat-headed, zombie-like figure with bolts in its neck, and instead is strikingly faithful to the description the creature had in the original Mary Shelley novel. The Creature is distinctly male, and covered in surgical scars from where his body parts were stitched together. ![]()
