with that in mind, it may not be necessary to link all forms of "crypto-science" to the work of one scientist, Frankenstien, or whomever--it may be less work to simply recognize these characters, as "founding fathers," or "leading lights" in their respective fields--FRANKENSTIEN, MOREAU for biology, and genetics, TESLA, NEMO, AND TOM SWIFT, etc. for mechanics and engineering, and so forth...
