In the episode of the X-Files Post Modern Prometheus, a creature is created by scientific means and is born a monster. It is a disgusting sight and it terrorizes the town, leading to the formation of a mob and the attempted killing of the creature. Of course it cannot have a realistic ending so the creature proves that it is not as evil as everyone thinks and is let go. It seems that the people forgot that two women had been raped by the monster, but hey, he said he was sorry so everything is good. It was the classic Frankenstein story, and should tie in nicely with our study of the Frankenstein Complex.
