Correct! The answer is Victor Frankenstein.

Literary studies and semantics say no - '5. Villain'...
I think (but not sure) that the common opinion is that the 'monster' he created should not be seen as a villain. Not so sure about the doctor.

One last question left!

Hint #3: think books and literature.

Not Jason Voorhees, and not shown as holding senior military rank (this character was never a part of the military).

Would you describe that as sci fi?
Well, Jason went to hell and came back, which is supernatural, OP might call that Sci Fi. Michael Myers (Halloween) would also work, since there was one portrayal by a Canadian Actor (like Jason). Freddy Krueger was only played by Americans.

Ah, cancel that. Does not live on earth.

I'm stumped.

Re: Twenty Questions: Round 53

1. I would rather have dinner with Faramir than this person
2. Not real
3. Human
4. Not female
5. Villain
6. Not from an animated movie/series
7. Lives on earth
8. Dies
9. Appeared in movies
10. Science fiction
11. The story is not located one century into the future
12. First movie appearance not in the 21st century
13. Played by an American actor
14. Actor born before 1970
(Hint for 13 and 14: this character was portrayed by multiple actors, American and non-American, and Hamish is correct that there have been multiple films)
15. Does not star Harrison Ford, Kurt Russell, and Arnold Schwarzenegger
16. Not the enemy of a superhero
17. Doesn't have supernatural abilities himself but he did something that can be considered supernatural
18. Not on this wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category: ... _by_series)

Not Hannibal Lecter (damo666)
Not Blofeld (Doom427)
Not Khan (dargorygel)

Hint #2: Hamish's guesswork and rambling is on the right track.

Re: Twenty Questions: Round 53

by Hamish » Mon Sep 12, 2022 1:11 pm

Does the character appear in any film mentioned in this wikipedia page?

Cool. This rules out quite a lot of films and, therefore, characters.

Re: Twenty Questions: Round 53

Can't think of many 20th century series of science fiction films other than ST and SW, and none that have a human villain.

The fact that multiple actors have played the same villain hints at several separate adaptations of the same story, but that's just guesswork. If that's the case however, the story almost certainly is based on a book. Not sure if any of this rambling helps....

Not quite, but he did something that could be considered supernatural.
