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.

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

But maybe he was the true monster all along

Albert Einstein was a good guy, but his uncle Frank was a monster scientist.

Scary smart

And the scientist himself was the "monster". The individual he constructed from deceased bodies fell prey to the scientist's arrogance.

And the scientist himself was the “monster” of IQ test. The individual he constructed from deceased bodies fell prey to the scientist’s arrogance and intelligence.
