The Superman Monster (Comic Book) | comment |
The Superman Monster is a DC Comics series published under the Elseworlds imprint that mashes up Superman with the story of Frankenstein.Sometime after Commissioner James Gordon told his story to Peregrine White, White gives his own tale where a man named Vicktor Luthor sought to create life after learning the secrets of Kryptonian science from the programming onboard a rocket containing an infant skeleton. Luthor succeeds in creating a man, but is repulsed by what he's loosed upon the world.Compare with Batman: Castle of the Bat, another story consisting of a retelling of Frankenstein that uses a famous DC superhero as the monster. | |

Mythology Gag | |
The Superman Monster (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: One panel depicts the Superman monster lifting a carriage, copying the depiction of Superman lifting a car on the cover of his comic book debut Action Comics issue 1. Luthor's professors, all outraged by his experiments and theories, are this world's counterparts of Paul Westfield, Dabney Donovan and Emil Hamilton, all Mad Scientists to some extent in regular continuty, with Westfield and Donovan in particular being among the founders of Project Cadmus, which creates life all the time. The "resurrection man" Vicktor employs resembles Resurrection Man. This Superman wears the costume the canon Superman wore right after he came back to life. | |

The Superman Monster (Comic Book) / int_4f247a69 | comment |
Adaptational Ugliness: Subverted. The Superman Monster comes to life as hideous as the monster was described in the original novel, but he eventually becomes as handsome as the standard version of Superman. | |

The Superman Monster (Comic Book) / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: While it initially seems that Vicktor Luthor is only after Eloise’s finances to fund his experiments, it’s ultimately proven that he truly did love her when he was willing to use the same process that created the Superman Monster to bring her back, even after the way it backfired the first time. | |

The Superman Monster (Comic Book) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: The Superman Monster is a creation of Luthor and initially appears pale and deformed, bringing Superman's flawed duplicate Bizarro to mind. In addition to being the equivalent to Lois Lane, Eloise Edge fulfills the roles of both Victor Frankenstein's fiancee Elizabeth Lavenza (being engaged with Vicktor Luthor) and the monster's bride (Vicktor resurrects her after she is killed using the same methods with which he created the Superman Monster, only for her to leave him for the monster). | |
