Added DiffLines:

* AgeLift: ZigZagged. Physically he's much younger than his book counterpart, but he's [[spoiler:ReallySevenHundredYearsOld as he mentions fighting in Masada in 72 AD which would make him more than 1800 years old. Being an AngelUnaware, it's highly likely that he's far older than recorded history. Regardless, this makes him far older than Dracula, who actually states that he was born in 1422 which would only make him 466 by comparison.]]

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He’s noticeably kinder towards his creation here than his novel counterpart. More specifically, the literary Victor abandoned the monster almost immediately after he noticed one tiny little flaw in his "perfect" creation, while here the monster is undeniably grotesque--even moreso than when he was played by Creator/BorisKarloff in the 1931 film--but Victor loves his "son" all the same is planning to take him away someplace he'll be safe when he learns that the villagers have gone full TorchesAndPitchforks.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: He’s killed off not long after being introduced, but much of the plot hinges on Dracula trying to recreate his experiment.
