Eric Frankenstein is played by David Harbour in the DC Universe, beginning with the animated series Creature Commandos.

He is one of the Seven Soldiers, and bears a resemblance to the creature as portrayed by Boris Karloff in the 1931 film directed by James Whale.

Frankenstein vowed vengeance against Adam for restoring him to life, successfully killing him, but accidentally bringing about a coma for Doctor Thirteen's wife Maria in the process.

In 2005, a high school student, called 'Uglyhead' by all the other children, acquires telepathic abilities through contact with the Sheeda, which he uses to torment his peers.

This causes the return of Frankenstein, who had survived in a state of hibernation underneath the town, who makes short work of the maggot-hominids and the boy, before burning down the school to cover the bodies.

Once in the present, though, Klarion the Witch Boy gains control of Frankenstein using a witch-brand and forces him to take the castle back to the future.

Frankenstein is armed with a three-foot-long sword, which he claims once belonged to the Archangel Michael, and a large antique pistol, which he calls his 'steam-gun'.

[6] A character called Young Frankenstein has appeared in Teen Titans as a member of the team during the "Lost Year" covered by 52.

[15] The character appears next in seven issues of both the New 52 Batman and Robin and the DC Rebirth Superman, both written by Peter Tomasi and drawn by Patrick Gleason.

[18] Because of his undead nature, Frankenstein can replace damaged or missing limbs with grafts taken from individuals of similar build and adapt it to his unique physiology.

This version is the leader of the Creature Commandos who saved Lt. Matthew Shrieve following his awakening during World War II.

After being recruited by Project M to join the Creature Commandos, Frankenstein led them in defeating Nazi forces and personally killed Adolf Hitler.

Nonetheless, they would be revived and escape to discover their origins before Frankenstein leaves the group to join his Bride and Matthew's granddaughter Miranda in participating in the Atlantean/Amazon war.
