Aminadab

I've Googled for references showing that Aminadab is somehow related to Igor, but other than the fact that Aminadab is a mad scientist's assistant, I've found no claims that Aminadab is Igor's inspiration. Is there a source for this speculation? Travisl 04:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Son of Frankenstein

All-America Comics published in 1939 Movie Comics#1, which features an adaptation of Son of Frankenstein, which was the first appearance of Igor or Ygor, and therefore this was the first comic book appearance of Igor or Ygor-which oddly enough this article now makes no entry of.

Should we maybe clarify that the stock character "Igor" who appears in various Universal Horror pastiches is actually an amalgam of Dwight Frye's hunchback character from the first two Frankenstein films and Bela Lugosi's "Ygor" character (not a hunchback, but rather a fugitive with a broken neck) from "Son of Frankenstein"? And where does the surname "Manic" referenced in the article originate? This is the first I've heard of it. RossEron 19:03, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Igor manic

Couldn't find any reliable references that suggest this stock character is commonly called "Igor Manic", so removing this from lead. -- Ekjon Lok (talk) 18:49, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hunchback in Metropolis?

How solid is the assertion that there is a hunchbacked assistant to Rotwang in Metropolis? I have seen this film a number of times but do not remember any such character. A Google image search doesn't seem to turn up anything either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.192.106.242 (talk) 16:46, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember this character either, so I removed the statement (which was OR anyway). It's possible that whoever added it was confusing Metropolis with another film: there's a documentary on Universal horror films (included in the "legacy collection" boxset) which shows a clip from a silent film - this one, I believe - featuring a magician character with a hunchbacked assistant, and cites it as a possible influence on the Frankenstein cycle.
