Overview
Victor Frankenstein is a human character introduced in 2014, known for creating simulacrums and being an ancestor to Frankie Stein.
Victor Frankenstein, also known as Sparky, is a 2014-introduced and cartoon-only character. He is a human who was alive 200 years ago. He enrolled at Monster High as part of a human exchange program when the school building wasn't even fully built. Most of his life was influenced by his status as an orphan, which gave him a strong desire to create his own family. He eventually created Viktor Stein and Viveka Stein, the parents of Frankie Stein (G1), who herself created Hoodude Voodoo (G1) and the gingerbread boy, thus making Victor the ancestor of a long and varied line of simulacrums.

Character
Victor is a lonely orphan driven to create life, with a distinctive appearance featuring mismatched eyes and a lab coat.
Personality:
—
Victor is a fragile being who suffers from the lack of family daily. Though part of the monster world, he is not given any benefit of the doubt due to him being a human, which only worsens his loneliness and single-minded drive to create life to keep him company.
Appearance:
—
He has short black hair with two small white stripes going through it. He has a blue eye on the right, usually covered by a monocle, and a green eye on the left. His skin is pinkish pale. He wears red pants, black shoes, black gloves, and a lab coat.
Relationships
Victor created his own family including Viktor and Viveka Stein, and shares a close bond with mentor Hexiciah Steam.
Family:
—
As an orphan, Victor has no biological family. He created his own descendants, Viktor Stein and Viveka Stein, at some point in his scientific career. Long after his death, they created Frankie Stein (G1), who herself created Hoodude Voodoo (G1) and the gingerbread boy.
Frankie is the only family member he is shown meeting, but it can be argued he might feel closest to her. Victor was instantly ashamed and grieving when he saw Frankie dying, even before knowing she was his grandchild. Once he did know, Victor cried to the side while the other ghouls stood over Frankie. And once she was revived, he lovingly hugged her and returned to his own time.
Friends:
—
As an eccentric, impulsive, and headstrong individual, Victor was largely shunned in the early years of his life. The first person close to him was his mentor, Hexiciah Steam (G1), who saw great promise in Victor if he were to get proper guidance. Ever since, the (Franken)Steins and the Steams have been on good terms.
Notes & Trivia
Victor is inspired by Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstein and may have connections to other family figures like Uncle Egor.
In her SDCCI diary, Frankie mentions one Uncle Egor, who's not actually related but part of the family since a very long time ago. It's possible he and Victor knew each other.
In the book, Victor was an aristocratic German-Swiss scientist from a wealthy family who funded his education at University. Victor is a genius scientist and becomes obsessed with finding a way to create his own life like a god, leading him to spend two years developing his methods until he finally succeeds.
Media Appearances
Victor appears in the Volume 4 cartoon storyline.
In 1814, Victor is eager to show off his latest attempt at making a family during a heritage project in Hexiciah Steam (G1)'s class. His demonstration does not go as planned and the class does little more than laugh at his attempt. Mr. Steam tries to help him and invites him for a talk about the moral aspects of creating life after class. Victor leaves angrily and is followed by Frankie Stein (G1), who travelled back in time by accident and was moved by his desire for a family. She encourages him not to give up on his dream, coincidentally revealing she is a simulacrum herself. When Victor starts questioning her, she quickly leaves and he follows her, thereby discovering Mr. Steam's time portal and finding his way to 2014. Intrigued by the technology now available to him, Victor immediately begins construction on a new simulacrum, Creature 4.0. It surpasses all his previous creations, but it also breaks out on a rampage inside Monster High moments after creation when it is enraged by a camera flash. He meets Frankie and her friends again, and together, they take the creature down. This, however, takes all of Frankie's energy. As she lies dying, what few words she has left make Victor discover that Frankie is his own granddaughter - the creation of two other creations he'll one day make. Remorseful and guilt-ridden over being responsible for his granddaughter's death, he, with the aid of Ghoulia Yelps (G1) and Mr. Steam, thinks up a way to restore Frankie's energy, using Hexiciah's rejuvenation chamber. Once completed, the two time-travellers bid their descendants goodbye and return to 1814, happy with what the future has in store.
