Boris

Boris (also known by the stage name of Boris Schwarzenblackenbluenberger) is a monster created by Professor Frank N. Stein. Originally left nameless, the former resident of Castle Frank N. Stein left to become a television presenter, celebrity endorser and film star.

History[]

Shortly after the creation of Chuck D. Head, the Professor decided to make another monster. Although initially alarmed by another creation, Igor soon drew his attention to the fact that Boris' head was upside down. After a quick consultation with Anatomy for the D.I.Y. Monster Builder, Frank resorted to fixing the problem with a tool from The Really Big Spanner Co., turning the head the right way round. Chuck accidentally reminded Frank that there were now two monsters living in the castle, leading Boris to attempt to "destroy Chuck D. Head". The battle was one-sided, with Boris able to lift Chuck in the air and prepare to throw him over the edge of the castle. However, on learning that he would have to stay there forever in his place, Boris decided to leap instead.

A few months later, Chuck spotted Boris whilst watching The Gladiators, suggesting that he was one of the athletes on the show. After some time, Boris moved on to making a fortune advertising spanners on commerical television. Later still, Boris moved to Hollywood, changing his name and pretending that he was brought up by his "Auntie Mimi" in Macclesfield. The monster returned to the castle after learning that Frank planned to publish a book about his life as a monster builder. Boris teamed up with old adversary Chuck and attempted to steal the manuscript. After a torturous experience in Frank's lab, he eventually discovered that the journal was actually just a recipe book. On his way out from the castle, Boris let slip why he was there, inspiring Frank to actually write the memoirs.

It was never revealed whether or not Frank wrote the revealing book, but it didn't affect Boris' film career either way. Much later, Boris was still selling out theatres in Transylvania.

Trivia[]
