When was inspector gadget created

The writers purposely wrote every episode in a way that would make the audience believe they would finally show Dr. Claw's face, but it never actually happened. Viewers had to wait until , a full six years after the series ended, to see his face—as an action figure. And even then, you had to buy it to see it. Today, thanks to the Internet, you can just click here. One year later, the same face was utilized for Claw in a Super Nintendo video game for the series. But an official trading card answered those questions.

According to one Inspector Gadget theory , Dr. Claw was a human detective who was the victim of an explosion, and as a result presumed dead. Penny recreated her uncle as Inspector Gadget, while her real uncle became Dr.

He is Penny 's uncle, one of Brain 's owners, and Chief Quimby 's top employee. Inspector Gadget is creative, heroic, mild-mannered, determined, brave and kindhearted, although he's also silly, amateurish, credulous, awkward, and clueless. He also has a horrible judge of character and he thinks that the bad guys are his allies and his allies are his enemies. He loves his niece Penny with all his heart and would do anything to protect her from harm.

In fact, whenever he sees Penny in danger, he becomes competent and goes out of his way to rescue her and save the day. He is generally incompetent and gets on by not only his simple luck, but also Penny and Brain's unknown assistance. Gadget thwarts Dr. Claw 's daily schemes, often with secret help from Penny and Brain.

The two closest times Gadget ever gets to capturing Claw is during the teaser intro where he enters Claw's lair and handcuffs a decoy glove, only to have a bomb explode in his face; and also, and one time in a high speed pursuit car chase, where he almost catches the M. Mobile with the Gadget Claw from the episode " The Amazon ".
