The story of Frankenstein, or to be precise, "Frankenstein's Monster", has formed the basis of many original novels over the years, some of which were considered sequels to Shelley's original work, and some of which were based more upon the character as portrayed in the Universal films. The Monster has also been the subject of many comic book adaptations, ranging from the ridiculous (a 1960s series portraying The Monster as a superhero), to more straightforward interpretations of Shelley's work, such as the early 1970s Marvel Comics series, The Monster of Frankenstein, which started out as a faithful (in spirit at least) retelling of Shelley's tale, before transferring The Monster into the present day and pitting him against James Bond-inspired evil organizations. Frankenstein's monster also appears in the Konami video game series Castlevania, numerous times, with its name being "The Monster" or "The Creature", often as a major boss, but sometimes as a regular enemy. Buffy the Vampire Slayer has also faced Frankenstein-like creations; once in season two (a supposedly deceased high-school jock), and most notably in season four, wherein the monster was a stitched-together mass of robot, human, and demon parts named Adam, which turned out to be the main villain for the twenty-two episode season's story arc. In the 1994 animated television series Monster Force Frankenstein's monster alias "Frankenstein" or "the Monster" becomes humans's ally in their desperate fight against evil Creatures of the Night (to whom he apparently belongs himself). The 2000 anime television series Argento Soma draws a large amount of inspiration from Frankenstein. The show's plotline revolves around the event of an ambitious scientist assembling a giant silver creature from scattered components. The giant (aptly nicknamed "Frank") possesses a tender and compassionate nature but has a bizarre and hideous exterior and the potential to inflict death and destruction. 2004 saw the debut of Doc Frankenstein, a comic book written by the Wachowski brothers (Andy and Larry) (writers and directors of The Matrix), drawn by Steve Skroce (Gambit, Amazing Spider-Man). The book tells the continuing adventures of Frankeinstein's monster, who has since adopted his creator's name and became a hero through the ages. DC comics also has made use of the character. He appeared as a backup feature in the Phantom Stranger comics written by Len Wein. Recently, Grant Morrison revived the character in his Seven Soldiers of Victory project. Here Frankenstein is a gun-toting assasin battling to prevent the end of the world.
