An unforgettable present
Due to unknown circumstances in the 19th Century, the woman died tragically, but her body parts were collected in the Castle Frankenstein, Pokolistan, by the eccentric and gentle scientist, Victor Frankenstein, to carry out the creation of a bride for his creation, Eric Frankenstein, a zombie who wanted to experience love. After a long process, the woman was resurrected as a zombie known as "the Bride", horrified by her creation while Frankenstein tried to give her flowers, but Victor calmed her down and began to teach her basic concepts for growing up, considering her a "newborn". Over the course of months, the Bride and Victor formed a close bond, with the scientist giving him a Tourmaline necklace as a present, while Frankenstein continued trying to woo his bride.
After acting like a human person again, the Bride and Victor eventually fell in love, having sex, being watched by a jealous Frankenstein, who the next day, massacred Victor, cutting him in half, horrifying Bride for the loss of her lover, although Frankenstein declared that Victor was an obstacle to their love. However, the Bride unleashed her fury on him for killing Victor, causing a fire in the manor, fleeing from Frankenstein and leaving her necklace behind, destroyed inside and generating heartburn from love.
Rejecting a stalker
While traveling the world, Bride was surprisingly stalked by Frankenstein, who remained obsessed with her and clumsily tried to win her over, causing her to attack and beat him every time she did so. Frankenstein's pursuit of the Bride took them to many parts of the world and to participate in historical events such as World War II, but even though she always escaped and rejected him, Frankenstein continued to pursue her. Over the years, Bride and Frankenstein would fight wherever she was until Bride was detained at the Belle Reve Correctional Center, Louisiana, where she was locked up in the monster zone.[1][2]
Mission in Pokolistan
Grouped with monsters
In 2022, Bride was recruited by Amanda Waller, the strict director of A.R.G.U.S., to be part of Task Force M, a team consisting of Doctor Phosphorus, a sarcastic radioactive criminal, Nina Mazursky, a good-hearted amphibious scientist, G.I. Robot, a robot that fought in World War II and Weasel, a wild anthropomorphic weasel, and led by the gruff General Rick Flag, Sr.. Controlled by nanobombs in their necks, Task Force M was tasked with traveling to Pokolistan and protecting Princess Ilana Rostovic, the heir to the nation's throne, from the sexist group, the Sons of Themyscira.
At night, Bride left Poko Castle to head to the old Frankenstein Castle, however, Nina followed her, fearing that Flag would electrocute them with the detonator, but without taking the warning into account, she continued to her destination, followed by a Nina nervous. Inside the castle, Bride and Nina explored the manor in search of the necklace, while she briefly told her teammate about the life of Victor and his family. During the search, Bride remembered her creation and eventual love affair with Victor until Frankenstein killed him, breaking her into tears as she remembered her turbulent past.[2][1]
"What the fսck?"
Thanks to Nina, Bride recovered the necklace before they were ambushed by Circe, an immortal amazon witch seeking to kill Ilana, and the Sons of Themyscira who entered the castle to kill the duo, but Bride defended Nina and began killing the witch's soldiers before Circe tried to kill her with her magic, while Bride took Nina out of the castle to call the rest of the team. Bride tried to confront Circe, but when she was about to kill her, she was tormented by her memories, an opportunity that Circe used to turn her arms into inflatables and throw her and Nina to the ground, while her subordinates captured them.[1]
