| Gadget Boy & Heather / int_225d8ff9 | comment |
Ambiguously Human: Thanks to some negative continuity, it is frequently contradicted whether Gadget Boy is a Cyborg or a robot. It is implied in the first episode that he could at least be an Artificial Human with bionics who is programmed with the original Inspector Gadget's personality. | |

The Faceless: Spydra. She is sometimes unmasked offscreen, (often with an effect ranging from paralysis to petrification on onlookers) but the spectator could never judge the "supreme beauty" she kept boasting. The only time she takes off her mask on-screen (gleefully lampshading it in the process), she's polymorphed into Heather. | |

Monster Mash: In the episode "Gadget-Stein", Spydra goes back to Geneva in 1816 and forces Mary Shelley to create an army of monsters that oddly all resemble Boris the Vulture. The monsters are a werewolf, a skeleton, a centaur, a fat humanoid, a cyclops satyr, a Bride of Frankenstein-esque monster, a gorilla, a mummy, a Loch Ness Monster, and even Frankenstein's Monster himself. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Agent Heather is very attractive and curvaceous. This is especially notable in the Adventures in History season, where she frequently has her outfit changed to match the point in history they've gone to and is always quite fetching in her historical attire. Spydra also has a shapely body and often wore alluring outfits in the earlier episodes, even with the fact that her face is hideous enough to turn people into stone. | |
