Author's Note:

Well, here it is, my own Inspector Gadget fanfic. Starring, Inspector Gadget, everyone's favorite bumbling bionic police detective, his super intelligent niece Penny, and their ever loyal canine companion, The Brain.

In this, we learn the origins of the Inspector, why he has those gadgets in the first place, what happened to Penny's parents, and how Claw got that claw on his hand. This is loosely based on the first Darkwing Duck episode. We will also be using material from the live action movie, Gadget and Gadgetinis, and the cartoon itself. This is a story I've been wanting to do for a while, so you'd better enjoy it. And don't worry, we won't be using Corporal Capeman, I hate him just as much as you do!

And in the words of the Inspector himself, GO GO GADGET FANFIC!


Deep in the major city of Metro City, lied a man named John Brown, security guard of a laboratory run by robotics engineer, scientist Brenda Bradford and her father Artemus Bradford. John had dreams of becoming part of the Metro City Police Department, he had dreams of becoming a real police detective for quite some time.

John grew up in a house with his brother, Edward Brown, who was an inventor and a cild prodigy. John often acted as Edward's assistant, he really admired his older brother and gave amazing ideas for his inventions. "Gadget", his brother would usually call him.

Eventually, Edward became a well known inventor for the military and one particular invention he built was, The Brown Ram-Rod. We'll talk about it later in this story. Edward moved to Metro City, just like his brother, however he didn't keep in touch with him, on account of he was often busy with his work. He married another scientist named, Jennifer Reeves. They had a daughter and named her Penny. John never met his niece, because he and his brother drifted apart when Edward got famous.

However, happy as he was with his little girl and wife, one particular felon was after his invention (the one I mentioned earlier to be exact), Sanford Scolex, he ran an organization called The Malevolent Agency of Destruction (MAD for short) and wanted to use this Ram Rod to take over the world and become the world's #1 criminal genius.

Many years ago, his MAD agents had captured Edward and Jennifer and the bandits had shot them to the stomach and set their house on fire, and Penny had to WATCH!

Luckily, Penny knew how to call the authorities before the MAD agents got to her, the Metro City Police had arrived in time and arrested both Scolex and his minions. and had taken Scolex to the state penitentiary. The Ram Rod was put under protection of the World Organization of Mega Powers (or WOMP rather) so his minions who got away wouldn't steal it and Penny was taken to the Metro City Orphanage, she did not know she had an uncle.

John was deeply affected by the loss of his brother and sister in law, now Penny was the only family he had and they didn't even know each other. To fill up his lonely heart, John got his very own puppy and named him Brain. John and Brain had a lot of fun together over the years, Brain was a man's best friend.

Little did John know that this would change his life forever.
