History Main / MrFixit

* In Franchise/TheDCU, the ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational often turned to Kilowog of the GreenLantern Corps for all their tech needs. The most extreme example was probably when he built the Club JLI resort on the island of [=KooeyKooeyKooey=] for ComicBook/BoosterGold and ComicBook/BlueBeetle in a matter of hours. In later incarnations of the team, this role was taken by {{Steel}}. Both characters were also {{Genius Bruiser}}s.

%%* Gyro Gearloose (pictured above) from ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' and various Disney comics.

* At the SuperHeroSchool Whateley Academy in the ''WhateleyUniverse'', there are dozens of such kids. The mutant powers 'gadgeteer' and 'deviser' basically give a person this kind of power. Some are better at building their own devises, and some are better at working on others' gadgets. The side character codenamed Belphegor is excellent at taking other gadgets and devises and adapting them to his needs. However, he tends to steal other people's stuff before doing the adaptation bit.

* Sarge from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''. Lopez and Tex have good (if not better) mechanical skills too, but Sarge takes home the trophy for the ''way'' in which he goes about his repairs, such as somehow repairing a jeep without any tools or spare parts. Or better yet, rebuilding Simmons as a cyborg and using the leftover body parts to heal Grif after he was run over by a tank.

* Anything at all break down in the ''GearsOfWar'' world for Delta Squad? Damon Baird's on it, with a growl, and a sarcastic comment about how much you guys suck at fixing things. Seriously, this guy basically repairs everything in the game. And then gives you lip about it. If he weren't so funny, (and your allies weren't immune to friendly fire) he'd probably have eaten a shotgun by now.
** Anyone else notice that he looks like a bulked up version of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cid Highwind]]?

%%* Otto from ''SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo''.

%%* Grampy from the ''BettyBoop'' cartoons.
%%* Mr. Fixit the Fox from ''TheBusyWorldOfRichardScarry''.

* [[BrutalLegend Eddie Riggs]], as the ultimate roadie can make and fix any stage equipment given the time and resources.

* The Professor from ''GilligansIsland'' made a freakin' car out of BambooTechnology, which was actually spoofed in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales''.

* [[OurGnomesAreWeirder Tinker Gnomes]] of [[{{Dragonlance}} Krynn]]. Of course it may not work as their non-gnome friends would hope.

* Wapourif from ''Anime/{{Simoun}}''.

* Professor Wickwire from ''Series/TheAdventuresOfBriscoCountyJr.''.

* Taken to the extreme in [[MarvelUniverse Marvel Comics's]] Forge, whose mutant ability helps him build machines by simply imagining what they should do, rather than working out the pesky details.

* Patch from VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleOfAges. He lives atop Restoration Wall and has the expertise to repair just about anything someone might bring him�provided they participate in his "trap, er� ceremony". Link is required to bring him a broken nut from Symmetry Village to repair it and restore its symmetry. Later, once Link obtains the Broken Sword at the end of a long [[FetchQuest Fetch Quest]], he can bring it to Patch who will transform it into the Noble Sword (or the Master Sword, if the player already has the Noble Sword by means of a Linked Game).

* Creator/FredDibnah became this on British TV; he boasted that given enough time and greasy rags he could restore anything that worked with steam propulsion.

** Jury-Rigging, a perk the Courier can take, is an even worse offender, allowing to fix a PowerFist with RedBoxingGloves, an anti-material SniperRifle with a BB Gun, a PowerArmor with a metal armor, a leather armor with a business suit, a light bulletproof vest with the previous two pieces of clothing... How does the courier does it? Only s/he knows.

* The Professor from ''GilligansIsland'' made a freakin' car out of BambooTechnology, which was actually spoofed in an episode of ''{{Veggietales}}''.

* Leeron from ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' anyone? [[{{Pun}} Theoretically]], [[spoiler: every device after the timeskip could be his invention, or a descendant of something invented. Yes, one man started his whole planet's industrial revolution.]]

You want to [[ReversePolarity reverse the polarity]] on your particle defibrillator? Better get it to Mr Fixit quickly.

It doesn't matter if Mr Fixit has never seen ''it'' before, has never seen anything like it before, is unfamiliar with its working principles or doesn't even know the stuff the box is made out of; Mr Fixit will be able to reverse engineer it in time for the big finale. He will often possess MachineEmpathy, and can diagnose a broken gadget just by looking at it.

Unrelated to [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk the Incredible Hulk]], who used the alias "Mr. Fixit" in the late 1980s. And no, this page does not center around the fox in Creator/RichardScarry's Busytown, either.

*** It's not as impressive now that we know more of her backstory - her family's fortune was built on reverse engineering alien technology that was in the same "community" as the scouter tech. More impressive was her ability to do repairs on the alien vehicle that they reverse engineered...as a young girl.

* ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' has the Automobile Club serve as this, with many quiet CrowningMomentOfAwesome going on offscreen as well.
** First is fixing five abandoned Panzers overnight. Five Panzers, all of which were abandoned for 20 years and left in the most ungodly places imaginable. Only one of the Panzers was found in storage- the rest were scatered over the acadamy, with the prize going to the [[spoiler: [=StuG=] III left in a pond]] and the [[spoiler: Type 89 I-Go in a crevice, on a cliff, at a minimum of fifty feat from the top and bottom of the cliff.]]
** Second comes in restoring the [[spoiler: Tiger (P) or Porsche Tiger]], an infamously difficult beast, as well as maintaining it while driving it. To quote, (After the Panzer throws a track, stalls out, and catches fire in the space of a minute) "Aw, here we go again, eh? Hoshino! Hand me the fire extinguisher!"

* The JasonMraz song "Frank D. Fixer", about his grandfather.
