Don't know if this is right, but outside chance it might be Dangermouse?

First off - never assume your memory is a total fabrication. You wouldn't believe how much stuff from way back simply doesn't hold up and gets forgotten. Tex Tinstar, that Ripley's Believe It or Not cartoon, Creepy Crawlies, Toonsylvania, etc.

That said, I'd say either Danger Mouse or Secret Squirrel (Secret pulled gadgets out from under his coat regularly, which may be what you're remembering vis a vis a compartment in his chest).

This did get an answer, before the glitch that junked all the old replies, and it was something more obscure than either Danger Mouse or Secret Squirrel. I can't remember what, though.

It might be Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse.

I'd agree with Danger Mouse apart from the chest cavity, which is probably from somewhere else.

Trapped in 36 tabs.

If the chest cavity is from something else, this "something else" could be Cat City / The Cat Trap.

It did get answered! It was Cat City, chest compartment and all. It certainly was obscure, and I have no idea what I was doing watching that as a four year old. It had slutty rats and guns and everything.

Then the "despite being wholly organic" was false, because I remember the hero taking photographs of a microfilm with a camera in his eye.

I did notice that too, because that triggered my memory when I saw it, but I think that must have been some kind of animation quirk because apart from that he appeared to be a perfectly normal, if outrageously competent James Bond parody. I was confused because he doesn't actually open up his chest, just a little pocket in the front of his t-shirt that makes it look like he is.

Ah, finally. I answered this originally with Cat City, but then for some reason it all disappeared, glad someone else answered it. by the way, he did seem to take pictures with his eyes (the film of which he later hidden in his chest compartment) so he seems to be at least partly bionic in a darth vader-sort-of-way

No, it just happened to be shown someday on French TV.
