www.linkque.comThough Dr. Claw's metallic hands and arms are often seen, his face is always just out of shot in the series. The device frequently used to block his face was the back of a chair with the M.A.D. logo on it. This spoofs the cat-stroking James Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who was initially only portrayed as forearms and hands, with the rest of the body obscured. (M.A.D. is also a play upon Blofeld's SPECTRE.)
"Dr Claw' face, in an action figure"Dr. Claw's face was ultimately revealed in sources outside the cartoon series such as licensed action figures and a video game for Super NES, which depicted him as resembling a deranged European nobleman. In the 1999 live-action movie remake, Dr. Claw was fully visible with the appearance of a middle-aged businessman, and portrayed by Rupert Everett, although for a significant portion of the film's opening scenes his face is out of shot in a reference to the cartoon series. He gets his nickname after he lost his left hand and rebuilt it as a mechanical claw. In a magazine at Scolex Industries, he was shown to be originally fat. The direct-to-video sequel released in 2003 portrayed Dr. Claw with a few traits more like his cartoon counterpart: His face was never shown (still, it was obvious that he made no attempt in the film to hide it from anybody), and he escaped in the end of the movie with the words "I'll get you next time, Gadget!" (flying off in a rocket not too dissimilar from his first transport vehicle in the original cartoon series' pilot episode, "Gadget in Winterland"). In the 2003 movie he was played by Tony Martin.
