Their end: For the crime of acting too human (lol???) the US army was going to kill them and instead launched them in an ICBM at Hitler, but the rocket went out of control and they got stuck in space for decades

In 2000 the team was back with an 8 issue series (non canon). It brought Frankenstein, Velcro (now Velcoro), and Griffith into the modern day, replacing Shrieve with Lucius Hunter, J.A.K.E. with J.A.K.E. 2, adding Bog-Man, Aten (Mummy), and Gunner Mackey as a cyborg.
This version is pretty short, the team landed and then had one adventure on a desert planet, and after this they were retconned and this story treated like it never existed.
In the more canon version of what happened, their rocket was captured by Superman villain Braniac – later saved in 2009 by Kandorians going through Braniacs ship and joining the human defense squad in the modern day
Back to 2007 - Grant Morrison wrote an event/book called Seven Soldiers in which Frankenstein, the ACTUAL Frankenstein is introduced as a hellboy like figure. A gruff badass who quotes poetry – unrelated from the previous mute Frankenstein.
This version works for an agency called Super Human Advanced Defense Executive (S.H.A.D.E.) as does his wife, (also she has four arms!) The main book is excellent but I think Franky ends up being its largest impact, appearing in Infinite and Final Crisis.
In 2011 the New 52 Reboot happened. The Creature Commandos are now a modern team under S.H.A.D.E. In this version Morrison’s Frankenstein and Wife are agents of S.H.A.D.E. but Franky is saddled with a new version of the Creature Commando team
