    The Foot Clan 

Dr. Chaplin

A young scientist who becomes the head of the Foot's science department in season 3.
  • Amazon Chaser: A look at his Amazon Blade Bots makes it clear that a large part of his crush on Karai rests on her ability to kick ass.
  • Improbable Age: Although the art style makes it somewhat hard to determine just how old he is, the various comments made about it suggest that he is either a teen or barely in his twenties when he first debuts, which makes him a rather young for a doctor and way too young for a department head.
