Power Profile: Frankenspy and Hunchbat!

Real name: Frank Feinman 
Occupation: Secret agent
Age: Frankenspy: 30. Hunchbat:Unknown
Origin: Agent Frank Feinman was a member of a secret government organization attempting to take down a  terrorist group  headed by Maximilian Shreek, a notorious vampire criminal.  Frank was caught spying, and was torn limb from limb by a vicious monster, but,  Hunch Bat, Shreek's diminutive half bat, half hunchback henchman, was actually a double agent. He secretly smuggled Frank's body parts back to the U.S Government, where they were reassembled by none other than Dr. Victor Frankenstein! Frankenstein, at this point, was just a disembodied brain, in a tank of water and chemicals, hooked up to a machine. He had been incarcerated by the Government for having created too many monsters. Now, to pay his debt to society, he was helping with the effort against  monster-related crime. He could still create creatures by using his brain to power robotic arms to build them. When he reassembled  Frank,he gave him the ability to transform from a beastly green "Frankenform" into a regular looking person. Now, a "Frankenspy,"  and with Hunchbat by his side,  Frank will be the ultimate weapon against Maximilian Shreek and his monster mob!
Powers, abilities and weaponry: Frank has the ability to morph from his "Frankenform" to his human form by pushing the bolt on his temple, (hidden by a wig when he is in human form) In his Frankenform he has monster strength and his head antenna can broadcast mental messages  to Dr. Frankenstein and Hunchbat. He can also remove limbs, and replace them with weapons, such as chainsaws, battle axes, laser rifles, etc. These attachments are often flown to him by Hunch Bat. When he removes his hand to replace it with a weapon, the hand can move on it's own and assist Frank, due to an extra mini-brain Dr. Frankenstein put in it.
Weaknesses: much like the original Franenstein monster, Frankenspy hates fire.
Least Favorite Type of Yogurt: Yoplait
Favorite Golden Girl: Dorothy (but he still hates that scene in the Star Wars Christmas Special with Bea Arthur)

  1. Oh I really like Frankenspy too! I love this whole monster element. And I seem to recall you saying something about one of your characters being a slight wink to Imp, is that Hunch Bat? I really like this story and for some reason I really want to play as a video game. I love the interchangeable use of his body parts and weapons. I also am dying to see what Frankenspy looks like in his human form.

  2. The imp nod works because -as a double agent-Hunchbat also works pretending to be a minion to the evil Maximilian Shreek-but unlike the real imp, Hunch is really a good guy. Also there is a bit of a reference to Trapjaw- as they both have the abilities to change arms.
    and I also have envisioned my characters in video game form-I pretty much think of it whenever I make one- I love the thought of having Hunchbat be able to fly different weapons to him throughout the game whenever you get a code or something to use a chainsaw hand or a laser hand!
