Doctor Claw

Dr. George Claw[1] (in the movie, Sanford Scolex[2]) is a partially-seen character who is the main villain in the animated television series Inspector Gadget and the films that followed.

He runs a criminal syndicate called "M.A.D.", whose mascot is an evil cat named "MAD Cat" (which he keeps by his side). His hideout is usually in an old castle first seen in the episode "Winter Olympics". Even though he destroyed his own castle in "Winter Olympics" it is assumed the M.A.D. agents reconstructed it. In Gadget and the Gadgetinis Dr. Claw's hideout is a beach side mansion with a fancy futuristic design. Dr. Claw's plans would be foiled in every episode, forcing him to flee in his versatile black and red vehicle called the Clawmobile - also known as the MADmobile (which could fire missiles and change into a car, jet or submarine). While escaping he would yell his catch phrase: "I'll get you next time, Gadget!... Next time!" —, or some variation, which was followed by MAD Cat's signature yowl and hiss. Even though Dr. Claw has seemingly unlimited resources and riches he still tries to rob banks on occasion, and in one episode he teamed up with his Japanese counterpart Waruda to steal all the jewellery in the world with Waruda's weapon the "Fuji Ray". In Gadget and the Gadgetinis Dr. Claw states that he hates children and doesn't want his nephew William to stay with him.
