Been getting into “The Glass Scientists” as of late and had a theory bouncing around in my head..

What if Frankenstein was Jekyll’s relative? 

Some have theorized she might be his aunt, but what if she is his mum? If she was college age (18-20 ) when she made the creature and spent a couple years recovering from her crime against nature, giving life naturally some time between that (something she might feel pride at having created life through multiple means ) and add Jekyll’s 35 years, that would make her 55, give or take, which considering my co-worker who is also in his 50′s is quiet capable of kicking major ass if he wanted to, Frankie girl should still be able bodied enough to do her adventures (her stupid run in with a lizard not withstanding, but that was a brain issue, not a physical one)

Bonus points if it was with Henry Clerval (and either after his death or because she was set to marry Elizabeth ) she dumped the newborn (much like she did before...) at a random house, wrapped in something with her lovers name on it and that is why the two characters share the same first name. 

Jekyll’s family did not seem to support his love of science and if his depression is anything to go by, might have been abusive (physically, mentally or both ) which considering the times would not have been seen as that bad since the kid was not even theirs, but they kept him around because of fertility issues making them desperate to carry on the family name. 

Would explain why Hyde has blond hair and green eyes (they even seem to be taking on her more olive shade in later panels, even if it is from the potion wearing off, it is still an interesting detail ) And why Jekyll has such a love for science (to the point he said he would DIE for it, hint-hint...)despite flashbacks telling us his parents did not support him. And Clerval had a very bubbly personality in the book and Hyde always seems like he is on a sugar rush (not to mention both Jekyll and Hyde are shown giving support to Rachel (one more comforting than the other...) and Jekyll obviously takes his caretaker role seriously...and WHAT role did Henry Clerval have for Frankenstein in the book? Nursing him/her back to health! 

And it might explain why Frankenstein despises Jekyll so much too, if he took after her beloved Henry in appearance (Frankenstein in the book took HIS death harder than even Elizabeth!) she would be thinking “Not only does this industrialist slut try to sanitize mad-science but he also has the gall to look like, and share a name with my lover!”
