^ and on that topic there are alot of stories around the world of people dying and coming back to life to torment the living I don't think all these tales are fiction.

Dunno. I think different cultures have different names for them.

if you're talking zombies, they do actually lack a lot of the factors that constitute life...

Yea but not really talking about that. Im actually kinda going OT and talking about the idea that zombies might not be fiction.

Still haven't replied to that other post, mad busy.

zombies could very well be real, but i still don't know if they should be considered alive. i wouldn't.

no worries.

If your talking about zombies (Night of the living Dead etc), yeah I think I would agree with you but not vampires.

vampires are more open to interpretation anyway, so its bound to happen.

As well as frankensteins monster and friendly varitions of this that are technically undead. I realize that the hulk is an expy of Frankie so we are generally talking about the undead variety.

Mostly what people have a problem with is the uncanny valley. Being a professional nightmare fetishist I could set up residence in the valley and not be bothered by the residents.

Well sure when you have things like the severed dog head experiment

(This lead to discoveries in cardiovascular surgery and a better understanding of the heart and circulatory system)

Or the monkey head transplant.

Dick Cheney has no pulse

Fungi that take over their hosts

Frankenstein's monster has an expy in comics...called Frankenstein. 😛

Other than him though I'd say the comic book character that comes closest to matching the literary monster would be Solomon Grundy in certain incarnations. The "smart" version of Grundy who wore a business suit was pretty much an evil version of the monster from the end of the book who had become educated and articulate.

That was an actual news report about dick cheney.

Except for the interactions with things that don't piss him off before he got the whole proffessor hulk thing.

As the Expy page shows its possible for there to be more than one expy of something. Another company that's made an art of Expys is Bioware.

There was a news article a while back about a drug made from a South American flower that once used on a human would put the victim in a zombified state where he/she would be almost fully functional but only semi-conscious and very open to suggestion and commands. I recall that the article's writer recounted that while visiting a man who made the drug he was terrified because he realized that the man could easily have used the drug on him during their interview.

I really wish I could find the article again.
