The Heir Of Frankenstein Ludwig Frankenstein, the modern descendant of Victor von Frankenstein and his hunchbacked assistant Borgo attempt to create life using modern scientific technology. But the local villagers have had their fill of the Frankenstein legacy and storm the castle. Frankenstein decides to activate his latest project, Experiment X. But in order to do so, he needs a powerful living host – one that is strong enough to survive the process. The Silver Surfer, flying through the Alps, sees the villagers storming the castle and believing them to be aggressors, repels them with his cosmic blasts. Count Frankenstein invites him into his castle and pretends to befriend him. The Silver Surfer is reluctant to trust him at first, but agrees to help him. Frankenstein tricks him into becoming the host for Experiment X. Trapping the Surfer and strapping him to a table, he begins to siphon the power cosmic from him and redirect it into a lifeless clay model. Imbued with half the power of the Silver Surfer, the creation comes to life and assumes the Surfer's form. Frankenstein sends the false Surfer into the village to avenge himself against them. The Silver Surfer frees himself and flies outside to stop his evil doppelganger. Their fight rages throughout the village and eventually carries out into Earth’s atmosphere. Both combatants are evenly matched. Eventually however, the false Surfer's energy begins to drain away until he loses all power and cohesion. Before long, there is nothing left of him. Back in the Alps, the diminutive Borgo decides that he has taken Count Frankenstein's abuse long enough. He tackles Frankenstein and both of them topple out of the castle window where they fall to their deaths. I, The Gargoyle A "Tales of the Watcher" story.
