In the original Shelley novel, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, the "monster" is usually referred to as "the creature", "the fiend", or "the wretch". The name "Frankenstein's monster" was not established until after the novel's publication. Though not stated in the novel, Shelley maintained that the creature's name was "Adam".
The monster appeared in the comic book The Haunting of Thallus! It was one of many monsters brought to life by a Klingon thought-enhancer device that was connected to the mind of a captured Human horror movie expert.
