Being the Trope Codifier for the extremely popular Mad Scientist trope, it's not a wonder that Frankenstein's titular doctornote or rather, college dropout would have his own share of Expies, but there are some that go as far as ripping off his name too. Apparently, it's a popular practice for writers to name Mad Scientist characters after the most famous one in fiction (either as an Homage or Parody, or to drive the point home that those characters are supposed to be MAD!). Most of the time, it's an exotic-sounding surname starting with "Franken" or ending with "Stein" (as in Albert Einstein, another popular codifier of this trope). "Victor", despite being a fairly common name, may also count as this trope if the character in question is known for dabbling in dangerous, questionable science involving giving life to dead/inanimate beings (even more so if said character has a German-sounding surname or is German himself) as the reference to Victor Frankenstein becomes obvious in that case. Sometimes a member of The Von Trope Family. Very often accompanied by The Igor, another heavily parodied character. Compare with Frankenstein's Monster, for the kind of experiment this character is probably into, and Franken-X, for when the name "Frankenstein" is used to refer to the creature Frankenstein created instead of Frankenstein himself. See also Dr. Genericius and Dr. Brainpart, for similar naming patterns used for Mad Scientist types. Subtrope of Names to Run Away from Really Fast. |

Runaway Brain features Dr. Frankenollie, a mad monkey scientist who swaps Mickey's brain with Julius', a Frankenstein's Monster that looks like Pete. He also ends up dying by crumbling into ash thanks to his experiment. His name is a wordplay on the names of two legendary Disney animators, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. | |

Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories: In story 11, The Science Project, Victor ends up becoming a Dr. Frankenstein parody, but is actually expanded upon because he does more than create Frankenstein. Of course, Frankenstein is still his most famous creation, but Victor did some cool stuff. | |

The Patrick Star Show has Dr. Plankenstein, a Mad Scientist version of Plankton. He's always seen in a Deliberately Monochrome gothic castle, watching TV or scheming with his creation SpongeMonster (who looks like SpongeBob) and bumbling assistant Patgor (who looks like Patrick). | |

Professor Martin Stein is the man responsible for the reactor that created Firestorm. As such, he is often perceived this way (the 2004 run of the comic gives him Einstein Hair for good measure). | |

The House by the Cemetery has this as part of a twofer homage: the Mad Scientist villain is Dr. Freudstein. (This is a less certain example, though, as it is pronounced -steen). | |

Dr. Franken von Vogler, from the Giant Robo OVA, is actually a subversion. He was introduced as a classic Mad Scientist at first, but turned out to be just a victim of bad PR. | |
