Gadget is also trying to protect his niece from Dr. Claw and MAD. He could stop being "always on duty" if he wanted to, but [[{{PapaWolf}} he keeps it up so he can remain Penny's backup]].

Chief Quimby has had one too many [[Main/NoOneCouldSurviveThat No One Could Survive That]] moments to be a normal police officer. He may even be a cyborg himself, since any minor injuries he suffers at Gadget's hands are always gone by the end of the episode.

Prior to the accident, he had a different name (for example, [[Film/InspectorGadget John Brown]]) but when he was remade as a cyborg he decided [[ThatManIsDead that's not who he was anymore]] and changed his name.

[[WMG: The real Chef Quimby is dead.]]
The Quimby we see in the series is really Dr. Claw. Sometime before the show, Claw murdered the real Chef and took his place (plastic surgery). Sure we see them together in one episode, but he could be a mad agent in disguise.

[[WMG: Dr. Claw is an alternate personality of Chef Quimby.]]
Every time a message blows up in the chef's face, the Dr. Claw personality takes over. He changes back to the Chef when he is defeated.

After escaping when his plan in the second movie fails, Dr. Claw spent the next years turning [=MAD=] into the world-wide criminal organization fans of the original cartoon know. After that second defeat at gadget's hands, Claw stayed away from Riverton and Metro City to avoid gadget until the authorities realized nobody else could defeat him and sent Gadget to stop him no matter where on Earth he attacked. His plots to rob Metro City and/or kill Gadget are mere distractions.

Gadget is never addressed by his last name, unofficially because his bosses wouldn't be able to call him Inspector Smart without {{corpsing}}, officially because Penny's parentage is being kept secret to keep M.A.D. from putting two and two together and directing all their energies toward [[UnusualEuphemism corpsing]] CONTROL's future #1 agent before she's old enough to properly defend herself.

* Wrong. There are episodes where he sent people to kill Gadget. It's not easy to bypass his home's defenses and a cyborg can't be easily killed with regular guns.

He obviously ''never liked'' Gadget at all, and commissioned a new, more effective version, just to get the original out of the police force. Never mind that he seemed to work pretty well, glitches aside.

[[WMG: Sequel!Gadget didn't have glitches, at least not in the way he thought of them]]
During the third act of the 1999 movie, Gadget ran without his NSA Chip. In other words, he was running on adrenaline, which put an enormous strain on his various processors. Baxter outfitted him with some stopgap control chips until a more permanent solution could be found, but these degraded quickly, and the gadgets that he got were the result of his mind wandering. Also....

Sometime before the series, MAD exterminated all of the world's super heroes except for Corporal Capeman. Dr. Claw stripped Capeman of his intelligence and powers for his sick amusement. To Claw, killing his first arch foe isn't satisfying enough. Claw wants Capeman to spend the rest of his days as a complete moron. The poor guy doesn't remember he was once a muscular, handsome powerhouse with super intelligence. Thanks to Dr. Claw, he is now an overweight bumbling idiot.
