"Countries don't have friends."
"After your decades in the military, General Flag, I think you'd understand that true friendship is built on petroleum deposits. Especially unmined ones in a backward-ass country that's never taken advantage of their natural resources."
Amanda Waller and Rick Flag, Sr.[src]

Pokolistan is a country located in Eastern Europe ruled by the Pokolistan Royal Family.

History[]

Victor Frankenstein's Science[]

Birth of Bride of Frankenstein[]

"You were born here?"
"Yeah."
Nina Mazursky and Bride of Frankenstein[src]
Bride's head

Eric Frankenstein demands a bride is created for him

Pokolistan was established in Europe on top of petroleum which they never used. A scientist named Victor Frankenstein lived in Pokolistan, where he worked to explore the moment between life and death. In order to explore this moment, Frankenstein built a living being out of dead bodies and named it Eric Frankenstein. Eric was very well spoken and demanded the ability to have someone to love. He wanted Victor to create a Bride for him, so Victor ordered more cadavers to assemble a bride. Victor was hesitant to build another being as he head not yet explored the results of Eric fully, but Eric threatened to kill Victor's wife if he did not. Victor calmed Eric down and agreed to build the Bride.

Bride being "born"

The Bride of Frankenstein was completed and started to panic, so Victor appeared in front of her to calm her down. However, Eric also appeared and tried to offer her flowers he had picked for her, frightening the Bride again. Victor began to teach the Bride how to speak, but Eric became impatient with how long it was taking. Eric suggested that he did not need a Bride who was able to speak, but Victor continued anyway. He showed Bride a necklace to teach her the word "necklace," which the Bride admired.[1]

Bride of Frankenstein's Fear[]

As the Bride of Frankenstein continued to learn from Victor Frankenstein, she also remained afraid of Eric Frankenstein despite Eric's attempts otherwise. One night, Eric attempted to touch the Bride, who backed away in fear. Victor tried to intervene, but Eric demanded to know why the Bride did not want to touch him. Eric pinned the Bride to the wall, scaring the Bride further. Victor tried to protect the Bride, leading Eric to turn the attack on him. He put his hand around Victor's throat and declared that the Bride not loving Eric made her, and therefore Victor, a failure. He eventually released Eric and ran away, upset, leaving the Bride to comfort Victor.[1]

Assassination of Victor Frankenstein[]

"He and his wretched giggling and his horrid gift-giving powers were the only obstacles to our love."
Eric Frankenstein to Bride of Frankenstein[src]

Realizing how much she admired it, Victor Frankenstein took the Tourmaline Necklace from its original owner's cadaver and gave it as a gift to Bride of Frankenstein. The Bride figured out how to open the gift and admired the necklace, which Frankenstein helped to put on her. The two developed a romantic connection and had sex together on the operating table in his lab, which Eric Frankenstein saw and caught.

The Bride went to get lemonade for Victor, leaving him alone. Eric confronted Victor and beat him to death, leaving him on the operating table. Bride returned to find Eric standing over Victor's newly dead body, upsetting her. Eric tried to claim that Victor was the only thing preventing the Bride from falling in love with him, but the Bride attacked Eric. This caused a candle to get near tapestry, leading to a fire in Frankenstein Manor. Bride hit Eric to the ground and left the manor, crying. While Eric woke up, Bride broke her heel and continued running away, leaving Pokolistan to never return for over one hundred years. Eric then chased Bride out of Pokolistan.[1]

Queen's Mental Deterioration[]

"Poor sweet mother, she has not been self for some long time now."
Ilana Rostovic[src]

As the Queen of Pokolistan began to lose her mental faculties, the responsibilities of ruling fell on the princess, Ilana Rostovic. Rostovic became frustrated with the country's older ways, including the way the men in the country treat her. She began talking with the United States of America, planning to sell access to the petroleum deposits for an allyship with the nation.[2]

Invasion of Pokolistan[]

Attack on the Pokolistani Gas Station[]

Circe Gas Station Attack

Circe leads the Sons of Themyscira in invading Pokolistan

"The battalion, calling themselves the Sons of Themyscira, violently crossed the border into Pokolistan. The Sons are said to be working at the behest of the rogue Amazonian and reputed sorceress, Circe."
GBS News Reporter[src]

Circe came across a group of men who were frustrated with the nature of Themyscira being only for women, and mobilized them in her desire to overthrow the Pokolistani royal family with the promise of bringing them all to Themyscira. The group, known as the Sons of Themyscira, infiltrated Pokolistan by violently entering its borders. They came across a gas station and attacked it along with Circe while a reporter from GBS News covered the attack. GBS News interviewed two of the group's members, Tanner and CRITICALSCEPTICFACTSOVERFEELINGS_91, and the whole group held up their guns in celebration as they continued forward into the country.[2]

Arrival of the Creature Commandos[]

Bride in Poko Castle

Task Force M is taken to meet the royal family

"We've prepared a banquet for you, our honored guests."
Ilana Rostovic to Task Force M[src]

Hoping to protect the interests of their own country, the United States of America sent Task Force M to Pokolistan to provide protection to Princess Ilana Rostovic. As the plane touched down, they were met by a caravan led by Alexi. Alexi and the rest of the guards guided the task force through Pokolistan, where they were seen by Tanner, who reported back to Circe. Meanwhile, a young Pokolistani boy saw Nina Mazursky in one of the vehicles and waved. Mazursky waved back, but the boy's mother hurriedly took him away from the apparent monster, upsetting Mazursky.

Task Force M arrived at Poko Castle and observed the paintings of the past members of the Pokolistani royal family, which Bride of Frankenstein suggested implied an amount of incestuous relationships within the family. Rostovic introduced herself, and the task force's leader, Rick Flag, Sr., immediately became lovestruck with her. Flag bowed to Rostovic, leading Alexi to joke with the group that he had bowed improperly and would need to die. Alexi laughed at the joke, and Rostovic held a banquet for the task force in which Flag met the Queen of the country.

The task force went out into the courtyard, where Rostovic played fetch with Weasel while the rest of the task force bonded. Rostovic flirted with Flag and took him to her room, hoping to have sex with him. However, Flag turned her down, leaving for the night in hopes of being able to make a plan for the following day. G.I. Robot guarded the door to Rostovic's room while he recounted his experience killing Nazi soldiers to a sleeping Weasel. Meanwhile, Mazursky prepared to go to sleep, but got distracted by Bride of Frankenstein sneaking out and decided hesitantly to follow.[2]

Duel for the Nano-Bomb Remote Detonator[]

Phosphorus attacks Flag

Doctor Phosphorus and Rick Flag, Sr. fight

"And the skeleton man, Dr. Phosphorus?"
"Yeah."
"He tried to kill you to get it?"
"Yeah."
Ilana Rostovic and Rick Flag, Sr.[src]

Doctor Phosphorus snuck into Rick Flag, Sr.'s room, hoping to be able to steal the Nano-Bomb Remote Detonator so he could escape custody. However, Flag woke up and a fight broke out, which led to Flag's bedroom catching fire. Flag and Phosphorous fell through the floor into the kitchen below them, the detonator falling as well. Flag managed to beat Phosphorous and retrieve the detonator, preparing to use it to activate the Nano-Bombs in Phosphorous and, consequently, the rest of Task Force M. However, Ilana Rostovic appeared, causing Flag to hesitate and simply scold Phosphorous for forgetting that they were meant to be on the same team.[2]

Rostovic took Flag to the bathroom and helped in tending to his wounds from the fight. Phosphorous, G.I. Robot, and Weasel watched, but Flag threatened them with the detonator. Rostovic closed the door and continued helping Flag, leading to her flirting with him more.[1]

Attack on Frankenstein Manor[]

Circe to Bride of Frankenstein[src]

Meanwhile, Bride of Frankenstein and Nina Mazursky took a taxi cab to Frankenstein Manor, where they were observed by an old woman across the street, who called Eric Frankenstein to tell him,[2] as well as Tanner, who informed CRITICALSCEPTICFACTSOVERFEELINGS_91. CRITICIALSCEPTICFACTSOVERFEELINGS_91 told Circe, leading her to mobilize against the Bride and Mazursky. The Bride and Mazursky searched the manor for the Tourmaline Necklace which was gifted to her by Victor Frankenstein. Mazursky slowly convinced the Bride to open up about the necklace, although she was hesitant to. Bride struggled to go through the manor as she was met with flashbacks of what she experienced there, but Mazursky eventually found the necklace.

However, the Sons of Themyscira arrived and Circe attacked the manor in hopes of killing Mazursky and the Bride. Meanwhile, Rick Flag, Sr. and Ilana Rostovic were having sex while Alexi tried to warn about the Bride and Mazursky sneaking out. Once Flag and Rostovic were finished, Task Force M mobilized and left Poko Castle to retrieve Bride and Mazursky. The Bride fought through the Sons of Themyscira, escaping the manor and using the gun of a deceased Son to attack Circe. However, Circe countered the attack with her magic, so the Bride attacked her physically, punching her through several walls. They returned to the manor, where Bride struggled to fight through flashbacks of Eric Frankenstein killing her creator.

Bride of Frankenstein and Nina Mazursky are captured

The Bride kicked Circe in the crotch area, destroying a gem that sat on her waist, and pushed Circe onto the balcony. Meanwhile, Mazursky tried to run away and contact Flag, but had found herself cornered by Tanner and other Sons of Themyscira. Mazursky ran back toward the manor as Circe regained the upper hand, turning Bride's arms into balloons. She pushed Bride off the balcony as Tanner shot the fish bowl which allowed Mazursky to breathe, causing them both to lay dying on the floor and get taken hostage by the Sons,[1] who tied Bride up in the main entrance and locked Mazursky in the bathtub upstairs, where she could breathe. The sons then left, with both monsters alive.

Bride kidnapped

Bride of Frankenstein is left alive

The rest of Task Force M then arrived at the manor and prepared to infiltrate it. However, as they entered the manor, they found their teammates alive and wondered why that would be the case. G.I. Robot carried Mazursky's bathtub down the stairs as Flag and the Bride realized that the Sons of Themyscira were luring the task force away from Poko Castle as a distraction so that they could attack Rostovic directly. They quickly got back in their car and drove to the castle.[3]

Battle at Poko Castle[]

"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
"Good. What I want is you dead."
Ilana Rostovic and Circe[src]

Meanwhile, the Sons of Themyscira were able to reach Poko Castle, resulting in a large battle against the Amethyst Knights stationed there. A guard rushed into Ilana Rostovic's bedroom while she slept and woke her up, pulling her out of bed in hopes of getting the princess to safety. However, the guard was quickly killed by Tanner and another Son, who recognized Rostovic and began to chase her. While running, Rostovic saw the large battle in the castle's foyer and kept running, which Tanner reported on. This led to her capture by another Son, who proposed sexually assaulting her before he and another Son killed her. This distraction allowed Rostovic to scratch his face, causing him to let go of her and allow her to run away. Rostovic returned to her bedroom and locked herself inside.

Outside the castle, a Son prepared to throw a grenade, but got run over by the arriving Creature Commandos, who got out of their car and began attacking the Sons. A knight brought Nina Mazursky her backup air suit to help in the fight, but was killed. G.I. Robot stood still as the rest of the Commandos took cover alongside Alexi and engaged in the battle. G.I. Robot asked if the Sons were Nazis, so Flag answered affirmatively. G.I. Robot then lifted the upper half of his body into the air and fired at the Sons while Flag ordered his task force and Alexi to get down. He laughed and enjoyed killing the Sons, until he himself was destroyed by Circe's magic.

Maniac Weasel 2

Weasel incapacitating Circe

Meanwhile, Rostovic retrieved a gun from her armoire just as the Sons broke into her room. She used the pistol to kill the Sons and tried to escape through the window. However, Circe then appeared outside Rostovic's window and attacked Rostovic. Rostovic offered a deal to Circe, but Circe simply wanted to kill her. She was interrupted by the appearance of Weasel, who brutally attacked her, cutting off Circe's access to her hands and preventing her from using her magic. Doctor Phosphorus then went in front of Circe and placed his hand on her face, burning it. Flag watched the scene horrified as Mazursky approached G.I. Robot, comforting him as he shut down. Circe righted herself and faced the Commandos, declaring that they had doomed Earth.[3]
