Madman (Mike Allred character)

Madman, created by Mike Allred, is a fictional superhero appearing in comic books published by various companies, most notably Image Comics and Dark Horse Comics. His real name is Frank Einstein, a resurrected, amnesiac secret agent brought back to life by Dr. Boiffard using a special elixir called the “Zoom Juice.”

Frank’s patchwork appearance, a result of his reanimation, is a defining characteristic, featuring multiple stitches and exposed portions of his skull. He has a generally positive and inquisitive outlook on life, despite his traumatic death and memory loss. His costume is equally distinctive, a bright yellow and red uniform with an "M" emblazoned on the chest.

Madman's powers include enhanced agility, reflexes, and a degree of precognition known as "Zen-Fu," which allows him to anticipate attacks and make superhuman leaps and dodges. He is also an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant.

The Madman comic series often incorporates elements of science fiction, pop art, and surrealism. His stories frequently involve encounters with bizarre villains, otherworldly beings, and explorations of philosophical themes. Madman also often breaks the fourth wall, acknowledging his existence as a comic book character.

Throughout his publication history, Madman has crossed over with characters from other comic book universes, including appearing alongside the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The character has enjoyed a dedicated following due to Allred’s unique artistic style and the series' quirky and engaging narrative.
