THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!!!

Frankenstein's Monster
"I will revenge my injuries; if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear, and chiefly towards you my archenemy, because my creator, do I swear inextinguishable hatred. Have a care; I will work at your destruction, nor finish until I desolate your heart, so that you shall curse the hour of your birth."

- Frankenstein's Monster

The creation of the demented Victor Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Monster is a large, undead monster created using mismatched limbs from stolen corpses. When young Victor Frankenstein took classes in biology, the man became obssessed with the idea of using electricity to bring dead organic matter back to life. Stealing from various crypts and graveyards, Victor assembled the body parts into a single human-like form, and hooked it up to a gigantic machine. Lightning struck, and Frankenstein's Monster was born.

Disgusted and appalled at his creation, Frankenstein fled. The Monster left also, becoming an outcast while learning to write and reading novels such as ''Paradise Lost. ''Feeling successful, the Monster returns to its creator, seeking to impress Frankenstein with how much knowledge he had obtained. Dissatisfied and still weary of the creature, Frankenstein coldly rejects it.

Driven by rage at this betrayal, the Monster begins a series of cold and brutal murders of all of Victor's loved ones. First beginning with Victor's youngest brother, the Monster begs for a mate to show his creator a lesson. Althought at first deciding to build the Monster's bride, Frankenstein then brutally destroys his project in fear of it creating more offspring, and in response the Monster murders Frankenstein's best friendm and his fiancee.

Realizing Victor will give him no joy or compassion, the Monster flees to the Arctic, with Victor in pursuit. Frankenstein eventually loses the Monster, and succumbs to his brain fever and hypothermia. Before Victor dies, he tells this story to the explorer who offered him safety, Walton. Taking the Monster as a guest as well, the creature throws itself into the frozen waters of the Arctic.

Powers

 * Unlimited Strength: Due to the fact that Frankenstein's Monster is assembled from various parts of different corpses, the Monster's strength has no bounds. He can lift, throw, and punch at the full ability of the human body, due to the fact he lacks pain inhibitors in his body.
 * Nigh-invulnerability: Frankenstein's Monster is nearly impossible to destroy, at least by mortal means. It can be assumed he can be killed, or at least stopped, with the loss of limbs or decapitation. However, his large size and the fact that all of his body is already dead makes it hard to kill him.
 * Unlimited Stamina: Like mentioned in strength, Frankenstein's Monster lacks pain inhibitors, so in theory he lacks the ability to become exhausted.
 * Literary Knowledge: Despite later depictions of the Monster, Frankenstein's Monster is actually fairly knowledgable. To be honest, he's probably better read than most of us, knowledgable in various novels, writing, and philosphy.

Count Dracula


An evil and monsterous count from the wild hills of the Carpathian Mountains, Count Dracula is a sorcerer and undead vampire claiming ancestry to Attila the Hun. A veteran of wars against the Turks during the 15th century. Dracula's practice of the dark arts and alchemy has led him to become an undead monster with a thirst for blood.

In the late 19th century, Dracula begins to act upon a plan he has been thinking about for centuries; World domination. Beginning in England, the Count enlists solicitor Johnathan Harker to provide legal support for a transaction from Trannsylvania to England. He travels on the Russian ship The Demeter to Whitby, using coffins full of soil from his homeland and the blood of the crewmates. When they land, Dracula transforms into a dog and flees.

Once there, he begins his reign of terror by infecting Lucy Westenra with vampirism. His newest bride attacks several children before being stopped by her friends and their vampire hunting mentor, Doctor Van Helsing. Seeking to avenge their friend, the group destroy Dracula's houses in England, forcing him to return to his homeland.

In a final battle between his gypsy bodyguards and his hunters, Dracula is finally killed when Quincy Morris and Johnathan Harker stab him while he sleeps. Mina Harker, Harker's fiancee, remarks seeing a look of peace upon Dracula's face before he is reduced to ashes.

Powers

 * Superhuman Strength and Agility: Dracula's human attributes are increased to supernatural levels. Acording to Van Helsing, his strength is the equilvilant of 20 strong men, and his agility allows him to climb upside down vertical surfaces in a reptilian manner.
 * Shapeshifting: Dracula has the ability to transform into different forms. His notable forms include a wolf, a large dog, a bat, and a cloud of fog.
 * Manipulation of Weather: Dracula can manipulate the weather, primarily in creating mists to obscure himself.
 * Immune to Damage: Dracula can only be destroyed by decapitation followed by destruction of his heart. Of course, he can easily be knocked into unconsciousness or exhausted without blood, but to truly kill him requires that method.
 * Command of Nocturnal Animals: Dracula can command nocturnal animals like bats and rats.
 * Hypnosis: Dracula can hypnotise less intelligent beings.

X-Factors
Count Dracula /X-Factor/ Frankenstein's Monster

95 Strength 80

Both of these monsteres are capable of going blow for blow against each other. The Monster can easily tear people limb by limb with his brute strength, and his lack of the ability to feel pain lets him go full-out for the human body. However, even at the fullest extent, the Monster's human strength pales in comparison to the Prince of Darkness'. Capable of attacking at the capacity of twenty men, the Count's capable of leaping and punching with far more power than the Monster.

100 Mobility 70 

The Count easily takes this edge. While the Monster is sown together body parts that slowly lumber about, the Count's agility, speed, and reflexes are at superhuman levels. Throw in his ability to change form into a dog, bat, or something just as mobile, and the Count takes a decisive edge.

85 Durability 100

This is where the Monster takes his advantage; He cannot feel pain. His lack of pain inhibitors allows him to exert his strength to the fullest abilities, and he can tank through attacks that would cripple any mortal being with pain. The Count may only be able to be killed a certain way, but he is suspectible to unconsciousness and pain like others. The Monster...lacks this.

90 Stamina 95

Dracula can easily feed off of the blood of others for a boost in energy, but the Monster cannot be used as this sort of vessel. Dracula can tire as a battle goes on, and his ability to combat a foe may falter as dawn approaches. The Monster is capable of exerting far more fatigue in battle, and exhaustion is far less a threat to him than it is his opponent.
