Nassor

Nassor is a major antagonist in Tim Burton's 2012 film Frankenweenie, along with his lab partner, Toshiaki. He is a scientific rival of Victor Frankenstein.
==Description==
Nassor is highly intelligent, serious, intense 14-year old boy. He takes a darker, more doomsday view on life than the other kids in New Holland. Nassor is instantly skeptical of the rumors surrounding Victor’s experiments with electricity, but once convinced, is zealous in his attempts to obtain Victor’s secrets.
== Appearances ==
=== Frankenweenie ===
Nassor is first seen attending Mr. Rzykruski's science class where he serves as one of Victor's classmates. During class, he gives out an answer to Mr. Rzykruski that it is the windmill that turns agains the air until the sky rages against the night, which the Weird Girl replies that it is definitely a cemetery. After class, Nassor obtains an offer giving him the opportunity to participate in the science fair. The next day during a game of baseball, Nassor participates as the catcher while Victor participates during the match. All of a sudden, Victor gets a home run, causing everyone to react in shock just as he attempts to retrieve the ball, only for Sparky to retrieve it instead. Later at the baseball field, Nassor hangs out with Toshiaki and Bob on the bleachers which their conversation when Edgar interrupts as he tells the three of what Victor did to Sparky.
When learning that Victor managed to bring Sparky back to life through the use of lightning, he, Toshiaki, Edgar, the Weird Girl and Bob end up copying his research to try and win the upcoming science fair with their own revived animals. He goes to the pet cemetery and the elaborate Egyptian-style mausoleum for his deceased hamster "Colossus" and revives him in the form of a mummy. However, he vastly overestimates the power of his monster pet and Colossus is crushed very easily by the turtle kaiju Shelley when the New Holland Dutch Festival became consumed by chaos of the monster pets. The turtle's roar caused him to trip backwards, wrapping himself in small flags and strings and being sealed in an oversized russian doll, mummy style.
==Trivia==
*Nassor's voice and appearance are heavily modeled after acclaimed horror icon Boris Karloff.
*His peculiar flat hairstyle is a nod to Frankenstein's Monster, as played by Boris Karloff.
*"Nassor" is an Egyptian name meaning "victor."
*In the film, Nassor resurrects his deceased pet hamster, Colossus, as a mummy. This, and Nassor's apparent Egyptian heritage, are likely a reference to the 1932 film The Mummy, which featured Boris Karloff as the titular character. Also, toward the climax of the film, he is wrapped up and sealed in a mummy's tomb.
