* BigBad: Lord Corpse, [[spoiler: alias Tod Schatten, alias the Eighth of the Frankenstein.]]
* BodyMotifs: Each of the nine special Frankenstein has a special power based on a body part, which often extends to their personality and traits:
** Ein (Exoskeleton) can control bones and is a skeletal Frankenstein. Like bones support the body frame, he can act as a battle suit for another warrior and thus support him.
** Zwei (Jack the Ripper) has control over respiratory system and can expel air to fly around or rip people to shreds. In life he was a boundless criminal who valued his personal freedom.
** Drei (Scavenger) controls the digestive system and attacks through giant intestinal parasites: he's a lazy VillainousGlutton.
** Vier (Muskel Ungeheuer) controls muscular fibers and is a massive brute who's a ruthless BloodKnight.
** The fifth one, Tiger Lily, has power over sensory system (mostly eyes, but also hearing and touch): she's utterly devoted to the BigBad and acts as his right hand woman.
** Sechs (John Doe) has power over blood and is indeed a sanguigne man who's not afraid of battle and secretly wishes to find a bride, a typical way to "continue the bloodline".
** Sieben (Elm) has control over her skin and can do plenty of things with it. [[spoiler: Turns out, unlike the other Frankenstein, her creation was shallow and mediocre, "superficial" so to say.]]
** Number eight [[spoiler: Lord Corpse has power over bacterias and will do anything to survive and rule over his paradise of corpses and shape everything else into his vision.]]
** Neun (Fury) has powers over his nervous system and electricity, the source of power and AchillesHeel of Frankensteins, which he wants to destroy.

A manga by NobuhiroWatsuki, ''Embalming'' is set in a turn-of-the-century Europe where a number of people are using the notes left behind by one Dr. Victor Frankenstein to do their own crazy monster-building experiments. The resulting creatures, called Frankensteins, come in all sorts of sizes, shapes and mental states: from grotesquely monstrous to seemingly human, and from slightly nuts to batshit insane.
