- Dr. Frankenstein: Dr. Vic Frankenstein is a mad scientist who operates alongside his monster Phil and his assistant Igor, the latter of whom who considers himself a better Mad Scientist than his master.

Dr. Vic's dim-witted and clumsy creation.
- Big, Thin, Short Trio: He's the big guy with Igor and Dr. Vic respectively being the short guy and the thin guy.

- Frankenstein's Monster: He is obviously yet another interpretation of the Frankenstein monster.
- Hulk Speak: He quite often refers to himself in third person and doesn't use complete sentences.
