Doctor George Claw (better known as Sanford Scolex Cartman) is the main antagonist of the Inspector Gadget films.
He was a business man and a former police officer as well. However, an accident occurred in one of his factories, causing him to lose his entire arm. Elias tried to make himself a prosthetic. However, the materials he used for the prosthetic poisoned his mind, the same way Doctor Octopus's mind got poisoned from the machine he used. Elias became to think more clearly, and began to despise the superheroes, as they did not save him when he needed them.
Elias then extracted the poison from his head, made the prosthetic more powerful and have more functions, and renamed himself Dr. Claw. Dr. Claw runs his business, Claw Industries, in the middle of Stick City. He makes it look innocent because of his memory wipe machine he uses in case anyone spots him doing something evil.
Because of his mastery in robotics and building machines, many villains began to request them. This is what made Dr. Claw fully turn to evil. He made more money from selling weapons to villains than making them for the city. However, this gives him some rivals. Wonder Kid and Starstorm all have a rivalry against Claw. Claw considers both his arch-nemeses.
Despite Wonder Kid having powers equivalent to Superman and Starstorm having access to every power in the universe, Dr. Claw is never intimidated by them. He has wiped both of their memories multiple times, and has even tricked them into losing their powers once.
An evil genius, Claw initially only sought to improve his wealth through stealing any new technology. After his fortune was taken following his arrest, his primary goal was to rebuild his empire. He holds a seething hatred of Inspector Gadget, whom he blames for losing his left hand and was responsible for his arrest.
Appearance[]
Dr. Claw is merely an average man, having black hair, peach-colored skin, black shoes, dress pants, and a trench coat. The only thing different about his appearance is that he has a singular claw, the prosthetic he once made. Other than that, he has no features that differentiate him from the other villains.
Personality[]
Dr. Claw is cunning, as his genius level intellect gives him advantage over anything, even outsmarting heroes. Claw is known for his machines, in which he takes pride for. He is not reckless and thinks before he does anything. Despite being a villain himself, he does not seek out heroes to destroy. He is merely trying to keep his business alive, though admittedly, he does sell weapons and machines to villains.
Claw is also goal-driven, as he does not stop at anything to accomplish them. He even once killed another hero to extract his powers to build into a super weapon, which was later destroyed. Dr. Claw is also fine with experimenting on people, which sometimes, kill the subject. Sara Keaton, later to be Starstorm, was a victim of Claw's experimenting. Claw experimented on her because he wanted to find a way to communicate with the Celestials. Even powerful villains, such as King Fishcron or Arodef look up to Dr. Claw. He is a powerful figure in the villain world.
Claw is afraid of a few villains, but he doesn't show it. He is a master of not showing remorse, empathy, or fear. This makes him stone-cold, as he shows no emotion when someone dies from his own doing.
Role in the films[]
Inspector Gadget[]
It is revealed that Scolex used to be overweight and the world's youngest billionaire. He was a schoolmate of Brenda Bradford's and lost some weight a few years later.
One night he sends electronic tanks and other miniature devices to break into Bradford Robotics Laboratory and steal components of the latest cyborg technology known as the Gadget program.
He kills the lead scientist Artemus Bradford, Brenda's father, and makes off with most of the equipment including a cybernetic foot and a mind-controlling helmet, but left behind an NSA chip.
Just as he is celebrating and makes his escape in his limousine, he is chased by Security Officer John Brown who had promised Brenda that he would bring Artemus' murderer to justice.
He activates the oil slick and sends John's car skidding until it turns upside down on the road, telling three of his henchmens, Kamikazi and Constantine, and Sykes, who is driving the limousine to stop and enjoy the overturned car crashing into a Yahoo! billboard, causing it to land on the limousine.
John orders Scolex to surrender, but he lights an exploding cigar and throws it at John's car, causing it to explode and leave John severely injured with bad tissue damage. However, the explosion also causes a bowling ball to fly up from John's car and crush Scolex's left hand while he is closing the sunroof. He returns to his main hideout at Scolex Industries where his other henchman, Kramer and his minions M.A.D. Agents, replaces his damaged hand with a large mechanical claw.
Scolex, now going by the appropriate moniker "Claw," then precedes to use the equipment he stole and get on with his plan, to make a cyborg of his own, but after several failed attempts to get it to function, he realizes that he needs the Neuron Synapse Amplifier (NSA) Chip - the main power source of the body to function - in order to complete the cyborg. He later discovers via the news that John has resurrected as Inspector Gadget, the first-ever cyborg at the Riverton Police, and infiltrates a party held in Gadget's honor, hiring Brenda to work for Scolex Industries.
Claw later gets hold of the NSA chip that he found out about by hacking into Brenda's computer files and uses it to program his earlier robot, this time made as an exact duplicate of Inspector Gadget except for the large fake white teeth. He calls him RoboGadget and orders him to terrorize Riverton.
Gadget, Fidget and Diget finds out that Claw killed Artemus and goes to Scolex Industries to find him, but as he is trying to reclaim the foot that is under high security, he and the Gadgetinis gets captured and taken by M.A.D. Agents.
Claw shows Gadget, Kamikazi and Constantine his robotic imposter and tells him that he plans to make many more obedient deadly cyborgs to be sold around the world for profit that would then help him rule the world. He orders RoboGadget to destroy the city (and have fun) and Kramer to remove his chip, but when he can't, Claw removes it and destroys it himself. Gadget is then left by Kamikazi and Constantine on a rubbish heap while Claw carries on with his plan Fidget and Diget escape and runs away.
But he, Kamikazi and Constantine finds that Gadget is still functional without the chip (thanks to his strong human will) and is chasing them once again with Brenda. He tries to elude them, but Gadget, Fidget and Diget keeps on going, so RoboGadget goes to get rid of them once and for all while Dr. Claw, Sykes, Kamikazi and Constantine goes back to Scolex Industries while still being chased by Gadget's Gadgetmobile, Brain and Brenda.
Brenda finally catches up with him and attacks Claw after finding out that he killed her father. He, Kamikazi and Constantine takes her hostage to his helicopter and prepares to make his escape. He handcuffs her hand to the joystick and precedes to leave when he is interrupted once again by Gadget, Fidget and Diget who defeated his robotic impostor and attempts to arrest his archenemy again. Kamikazi and Constantine are leaving them Claw was angry and responds by destroying Gadget's helicopter and picks him up by one of the skids on his helicopter, preceding to drop him.
Gadget quickly activates the spring from a pen to ricochet onto the button that controls Claw's claw which makes him destroy the joystick and release Brenda. Gadget and Brenda land safely by Fidget and Diget on the ground, but Claw, MAD Cat, Kamikazi and Constantine jump out with their parachutes and land in the Gadgetmobile where Claw is knocked out and caged in.
The police arrive to arrest Gadget for all the destruction in the city made by his robotic imposter, but his niece, Penny, made Sykes turn over a new leaf and confesses about RoboGadget and that Gadget was innocent of all crimes. Claw, Kamikazi and Constantine is shocked that his henchman he turned against them. They is finally arrested and as Gadget leaves as a hero, he shouts: "Arrivederci, Gadget! This is not goodbye, you dumbbells!" Dr. Claw, Kamikazi and Constantine shouts: "We'll get you next time, Gadget! We'll get you NEXT TIME!!!"
Inspector Gadget 2[]
Seeking revenge for his imprisonment, Claw breaks out with two minions - Brick and McKibble, by tunneling out of the ground. He learns that after Gadget arrested him, Scolex Industries was shut down, and all his assets frozen. Because of this, he read up on Quantum Physics for Dimwits, planning to build a ray gun that will freeze Riverton in time, allowing him to rob the Federal Reserve to rebuild his fortune. This time he has his headquarters in an old abandoned bowling factory.
He recruits more minions and thanks to Gadget's repeated bumbling (due to glitches from being a prototype Gadget), Claw becomes amused about his demotion to a toilet cleaner. To get part of his device, Claw uses an override control on Gadget to cause chaos at the science fair; the distraction allows Brick and McKibble to steal the device. Much to his further amusement, Claw finds Gadget got fired because of this and orders his minions to steal the rest of the components for the ray gun since it is smooth sailing for them. However, Penny got ahold of one of their shoes - a clue.
He then attends the mayor's fundraiser at the museum and steals a ruby needed to amplify his ray's beam. He meets G2, Gadget's replacement, and easily keeps her busy with a magnet.
Upon returning to his hideout, Claw finds Penny eavesdropping and takes her hostage. By morning, a week after he broke out, Claw fires the beam at a satellite above Riverton and freezes time in the city. Going to the Federal Reserve, Claw begins plotting where to rob next, but finds both Gadget and G2 managed to avoid the ray.
Fleeing, Claw eventually has Penny strapped into a cart filled with explosives to get Gadget off his trail. Much to his growing anger, Claw is cut off from leaving Riverton with the small amount of gold he stole and has his truck stuck in bubble gum. Allowing his minions to get caught, Claw flies away in a rocket saying his famous quote.
Powers and Abilities[]
Claw has no powers of his own. His claw, however, has many functions. The ones used in the comics are as listed;
- Laser Gun: Claw uses this often.
- Magnetism: The claw will turn into a giant magnet that can change strength depending on how Claw wants it to be. In it most powerful, the magnet can pull the steel beams out of the Burj Khalifa.
- Sonar: Claw uses this function to see if any heroes are coming.
- Detection: The claw turns into a universal detector, as it can detect firearms, other weaponry, forged money, metal, uranium, and more.
- Memory Wipe Ray: This function can wipe the memory Claw wishes to erase. This is often used on heroes and the public, so he can keep his self image.
- Lock Picker: This function can pick any lock, and crack codes to safes and even open highly guarded vaults.
- Sonic Cannon: The claw turns into a sonic cannon, using high frequencies to stun opponents. This function does not kill, however.
- Flashlight: Claw rarely uses this function, as he owns many more emergency generators in case of a power outage.

Dr. Claw: Well, you crushed my hand, and I really liked that hand, so, go, go... get over it. (Cackling) Oh, how cliche, Inspector. I think somebody's been watching too many Saturday morning cartoons.
Kamikazi: Uhh... Well?
Constantine: I think I'm start to thinkin' about the distraction that we could come up with, you know like dress up as a mailman or...

Trivia[]
- In the original 1980s TV series, Claw is hardly seen apart from his arms and gloved hands with a gold M.A.D. signet ring on one of the right middle fingers (which do not, actually, include a mechanical claw, the origin of the name remains unknown); he speaks in a very deep, unnatural voice, provided by Frank Welker in season 1 and Tony Jay in season 2. With a few exceptions, he stays hidden in his headquarters, never directly attempting to harm Gadget but instead sending various minions, with whom he communicates through a video system. Invariably, at the end of the episode, Claw's base's location would be revealed, but he would escape in time before Gadget or the police get there.
- Claw acts more like his cartoon counterpart in the sequel, having a deep voice, his face unseen, sitting in a chair most scenes, and escaping in a flying object at the end.
- Rupert Everett, who portrayed Claw in the first film, was originally considered for the voice of Gaston.
- In the sequel, Claw is never addressed by his real name from the first film, but his communicator is labeled as property of Scolex Industries.
- In his 2003 outfit, Claw bears a physical resemblance to Negaduck.
- Where he got it is unknown. It is possible that his minions sneaked it in.
- Tim Curry, Willem Dafoe, Jack Nicholson, and Dennis Hopper were considered for the role.
