The creature known as Frankenstein, created by a madman of the same name, lives on, re-imagined throughout time. Follow these four stories, each in a different time, a different place.
Mary Shelley's League of Supernatural Hunters: Origins of Adam
Mary Shelley learns of supernatural creatures and real meaning of the word monster as she encounters a man unlike any other. A creature not born of woman, but created from the body of a circus strongman killed while trying to save a lion tamer. She must decide who to trust, the vampire, the witch, the mad scientist or the creature. Either way, Mary's seen enough to know she will need an army to fight those things not easily killed.
Frankenstein's Companion
19th century England, friendless and alone in the world, Adam Frankenstein, the creation of a mad scientist and his witch lover, becomes an assassin for hire. When a powerful mage hires him to find his kidnapped daughter and kill the man who took her, Adam strikes a bargain of his own. The mage has an immortal dog and Adam will do anything to own it.
The Therapist and the Dead
Brooklyn, New York in the 1980's was a place where monsters could blend in. Life has been long and cruel, so Adam keeps his appointment with Dr. Stein, the most expensive and sought after psychologist in the city, to talk of immortality and murder.
Adam Frankenstein, U.S. Marshal
Adam joins the 21st Century, and takes up residence in Houston, Texas. While waiting for his next mission from the League of Supernatural Hunters, he becomes Adam Frank, U.S. Marshal. His new partner is Marshal Rebecca Hughes, a by-the-book woman with a non-nonsense approach to life, with no idea who he really is, but that’s all about to change. When he wakes up dead and learns someone has stolen his dog, Texas may not be big enough to hold his wrath.

Die Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) ist nicht dafür bekannt, allzu autofreundlich zu sein. Mit zahlreichen Vorschlägen für einen effektiveren Umweltschutz hat sie jedoch auch immer wieder Denkanstöße gegeben und wäre vielleicht erfolgreicher, wenn sie nicht häufig übers Ziel hinausschösse. So jetzt auch auf einer Presse-Konferenz in Berlin, wo die Testergebnisse von realistischen Verbrauchsmessungen bekannt gegeben wurden. Bei diesem Anlass erklärte nämlich Dr. Axel Friedrich, früherer Leiter der Abteilung Verkehr und Lärm im Umweltbundesamt: „Die Stadt ist für ein Treffen für Menschen und nicht für Autos gemacht. Bis auf die notwendigen Lieferverkehre, um die Stadt am Leben zu erhalten, sollte man das Auto aus den Innenstädten herausnehmen.“ Eine steile These von Dr. Friedrich, der bis auf die Schlagworte Parkraumbewirtschaftung und Spurenverringerung – die ja teilweise schon umgesetzt werden – allerdings keinen wirklich Vorschlag machte, wie die Mobilität ohne Individual-Verkehr aufrecht erhalten werden kann. Denn das Busse, die Straßenbahn oder die S-Bahn beim Personenverkehr weniger Raum benötigen, gilt nur, wenn diese Transportmittel gut gefüllt und nicht – teilweise – fast leer ihre Routen abspulen. Und sorgen erst recht nicht für ein Treffen der Menschen in einer Stadt, wenn diese öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel vor allem an Wochenenden nur in größeren zeitlichen Abständen verkehren. Zugegeben - leicht ist es nicht, die individuellen Bedürfnisse mit den Möglichkeiten des ja ohnehin sehr kostenintensiven ÖPNV zu kombinieren. Ganz abgesehen davon, dass ja nicht jeder Stadtbewohner es nur fünf oder zehn Gehminuten bis zur Haltestelle hat. Richtig an der These von Dr. Friedrich ist derzeit also nur die wiederum sehr alte These, dass etwas gegen die verstopften Innenstädte getan werden muss. Doch da müssen schon intelligentere Ideen als die Herausnahme der Autos aus den Städten auf den Tisch. Wäre ja unter anderem auch eine Aufgabe für die Deutsche Umwelthilfe, die sich nicht nur aus Spenden, sondern auch durch öffentliche Fördermittel finanziert.

Moon Children - Providing mobile surgery clinics to Indigenous people
This initiative provides free consultations, medical treatment and sun education via mobile surgery clinics to the 40,000 indigenous people from the Archipelago of San Blas, a region with the highest incidence of albinism in the world. Albinos can face severe skin problems, such as skin cancer, caused by UV light and sun exposure due to the lack of melanin in their skin. The mobile surgery clinics are able to travel to the Archipelago of San Blas, a community that often shuns medical treatment and avoids protective measures against skin cancer.

Volkswagen startet 30 Jahre nach seinem Markteintritt in China in eine Phase nachhaltigen Wachstums. Im Zuge des Ausbaus der Fertigungskapazitäten investieren die beiden chinesischen Joint-Ventures des Volkswagen Konzerns bis 2015 mehr als zwei Drittel von insgesamt 9,8 Milliarden Euro in hocheffiziente Produkte. Der für China zuständige Vorstand der Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft Prof. Dr. Jochem Heizmann, präzisierte am Vortag der Auto Shanghai 2013 die auf den chinesischen Markt zugeschnittene Elektromobilitäts-Strategie. Es sei geplant, von 2014/2015 an Fahrzeuge mit elektrifiziertem Antrieb anzubieten, die zum Teil lokal produziert werden. Bereits 26 Modelle des Konzerns sind von staatlicher Seite als besonders energiesparend und umweltschonend anerkannt worden. Volkswagen habe den verbrauch seiner in China derzeit mehr als 70 Modelle umfassenden Flotte zwischen 2005 und 2010 um 20 Prozent reduziert und werde ihn bis 2015 um weitere 11 Prozent senken.
