Frankenstein was the scientist

And the scientist was the "monster". The person he built from dead bodies was a victim of the scientist's hubris.

IT'S FRANKENSTEIN

The monster was basically also his son in a way, so he would also be Frankenstein.

Obviously, it was a joke about XKCD's Frankenstein: https://xkcd.com/1589/
