Dewicking disambig


* EnergyWeapon: In addition to the [[FamilyFriendlyFirearms gum gun]], he carries around a device that seems to have the function of multiple kinds of energy weapons: he's used it to fire straight blasts, to form into a mace, and on many other occasions it's been turned into an [[WhipItGood energy whip]].

* WhipItGood: The [[EnergyWeapon energy whip]] seems to be his weapon aside from the Gum Gun. The first time it appeared it had the properties of a [[LaserBlade laser whip]] and burned through metal, but in every subsequent appearance it safely wraps around things and people to create InstantKnots.

* AscendedExtra: In the original cartoon [=MADcat=] didn't have much to do other than be Claw's RightHandCat, listen to his speeches, [[EvilLaugh laugh evilly]] at his schemes and either be petted or pounded depending on Claw's mood. Here she sometimes gets to take a more active role in the plot, and has directly interacted with most of the main characters.

* VillainDecay: Dramatically so, especially when compared to his original incarnation. In the original cartoon, Dr. Claw was greatly feared and it was hinted this was for [[OrcusOnHisThrone good reason]]. Here, he's almost as a big a goofball as Gadget himself at times.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Averted. While she was (and still is) attracted to Talon, it was because of his intelligence, skill and charm. The fact that he is a villain is actually a turnoff for her, and she never forgets that he's a bad guy that needs to be taken down. Well, [[NotSoAboveItAll almost]] [[FoeYay never]] [[CasualDangerDialogue forgets]].

* {{Cloudcuckolander}}: Not to the point of ''Gadget & The Gadgetinis'', but this Gadget sometimes looks to live in his own world, only in his head.



* EveryoneHasStandards: For all his clumsiness and out of the box methods, Gadget is sure of one thing - Dr. Claw is an enemy and he needs to be stopped.



* JerkAss: Unfortunately, as well-meaning as he can be, Gadget sometimes comes off as this due to his obliviousness and supreme self-confidence. Two of the worst examples come from "Double Oh Penny" (where even Penny gets sick of him) and "Low Speed" (where he outright dismisses his friends' pleas to just get to the HQ picnic via a straightfoward route with, "Nonsense!" and takes them on a meandering waste of time that causes them to miss the picnic completely).

to:

* ItsAllAboutMe: In the original show, Gadget was happy about "solve" the case, but displayed some humbleness. This version is more notably narcissistic about his many (non existent) abilities and knowledge. The fact he's actually saving the day by complete fluke almost every episode surely boosts even more his ego.

He's routinely mean with Brain for what he perceives as "not a normal dog behavior"...
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even if egocentric and barely intelligent, Gadget still tries his best to be a good role model to Penny and take care of her well being. He's just...terrible on that.

* {{Flanderization}}: As Gadget, Quimby becomes even more dumb than in the original. Proof of that is that he basically knows Gadget will unintentionally throw the self-destructive messages on him and yet he continues to deliever them personally. Dressing the most ridiculous disguises.

* MirrorCharacter: To her uncle Gadget. Penny is smart, genre savvy, resourceful and skillful, while Gadget...decidedly isn't, gadgets aside. However, both have big egos and inclination to mess the things by accident. It's just Gadget pretty much reigns in the bumbling department. Not rarely, Penny demonstred she can be every drop as stubborn as her uncle, even if that mess with her performance in field.

* MirrorCharacter: To his Uncle Claw. Dr. Claw is an old fashioned villain with a penchant to ridiculous schemes with barely some sense of practicity. While more objective, modern and willing to be sure they'll achieve their objectives, Talon proved more than once that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, since he's prone to let his ego, rivalry with Penny and his own silliness destroy his chances of success.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's goofy, self-righteous, stubborn and not rarely too dumb to be alive. He's still an almost indestructible cyborg with a myriad of gadgets that varies between silly and dangerous, but that eventually help him to solve the case and defeat the villain. On an occasion, Talon displayed in first hand how a controled Gadget can be a fearsome opponent in the right hands' joystick.
* CasanovaWannabe: Not at the extention of the original show, but it's still there. Both Penny and Chef Quinby do confirm Gadget is unlikely to get a date without explode them.

* GenreSavvy: Penny is quite aware that her uncle is far to be the great agent everyone admires and generally takes care of the important part of the mission whenever they're on a case. It doesn't mean she'll always have success and, whether he knows that or no, Penny knows Gadget will eventually save their lives everytime. In some instances, she'll even weaponize her uncle's bumbliness and put him in the right direction to save the day.
