Inspired by Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Family Matters characters Steve Urkel/Stefan Urquelle. A scientist makes a serum that makes him into a new but dangerous person attempting to win a woman he's obsessed with.
I suppose remembering that show I wonder what if the serum turned Steve into a monster instead.
