This question popped into my head while I was working a few days ago, I remember the couple of episodes when Gadget was working on the gadgetmobile and it seems like he was very knowledgeable to upkeep his beloved car; plus he had a garage filled with tools, lifts, tires, chemicals, and other stuff for it. I know in the episode ""Pirate Island" where he says he's a 'marine mechanic" than he messes up the motor. however, you would think he would do the same with the gadgetmobile?
now, here's the question... before his freak accident that turned him into a cyborg, do you guys think he was a mechanic at some point?
I don't know about him being a mechanic,
but I can see him being somewhat knowledgeable towards vehicles. Especially if we're talking about his car. That would only make sense to me.
After all the Gadgetmobile, is one of a kind. It would only make sense that he would know how to properly maintain it's up keep.
Let's not forget about the tools that he even has in his hands!
His 'gadget screwdriver and gadget wrench', I believe are located in the man's very fingers! I imagine their more for just maintaining his 'gadget's', if you really think about it.
Here's a little food for thought, 'Pilot'...he flew a plane!
And..he flew it well! I mean it crashed..but that wasn't his fault, it was sabotaged by M.A.D.!
And he does fly around with his copter!
Soooo in a essence that makes him a pilot...right?
Or at least he has a piloting license. In my own head cannon mind, I truly believe he had a military background!
Perhaps in his early years back before he became a cyborg. Maybe certain events happened during that time, that lead to him becoming a cyborg because of it!
Who knows really, but it's very possible. I read in the early years of Don Adams life, back before he was into acting, he was a marine!
A drill sergeant even! And I have to admit I found that to be pretty fuckin cool!
So yeah! I can 'definitely' see Gadget being a Marine, at one point during his life!
And maybe even part of the Air Force!
Could explain where he learned how to fly!
These are just random thoughts though!
