Umatarō Tenma and later Professor Ochanomizu (aka Dr. Kozaburo Nambu from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.
#PROFESSOR FRINK PLUS#
Ritsuko Akagi from Neon Genesis Evangelion plays this role in the cast, plus maybe just a bit of Omnidisciplinary Scientist and Mad Scientist. Saotome (though he's more of a Mad Scientist in some continuities) from Getter Robo. Ryuuzaki, another professor) is murdered when he's a child. Shinnichirou Izumi from Daimos, also Kazuya's foster father after the guy's dad (Dr. Kentarō Gō from Voltes V (who was also the Dragon's Disappeared Dad), along with Dr. From Tadao Nagahama's Robot Romance Trilogy:.Hell weren't that different, and as Kouji tried to learn how piloting it, Mazinger caused so much destruction as your average Robeast. This was because Go Nagai wanted to showing bluntly Mazinger-Z was a machine whose actions were completely depending on the pilot. Juuzou Kabuto is sometimes The Professor and sometimes a Mad Scientist, depending heavily on which canon we're talking about.
#PROFESSOR FRINK SERIES#
Note that the series also subverts this, since Dr. Gennosuke Yumi and the Morimori/Nozori/Sewashi triad. A staple in almost every Super Robot series.If The Professor is quite a bit older than the Five-Man Band / Ragtag Bunch of Misfits / True Companions he works with, he's very likely to be the Team Dad or Team Grandpa. Sometimes, this bodyguard may be a government agent. Occasionally, in a two man team, the Professor's teammate is there to specifically act as a bodyguard and handle the physical stuff. For this reason, the Professor may be left at headquarters while the more able characters handle the physical action. This may be due to age, infirmity, or just being physically weak. The Professor is quite often the least action ready of the team. The Professor can be Mr Fixit too, provided he gets it working on the first try. Fixit who constructs elaborate Rube Goldberg Devices. The title stems from Professor ( Prof.), which is the highest academic rank in most countries.Ĭontrast the more pragmatic Gadgeteer Genius who is more of an eccentric Mr. Despite these oddities, he will still prove to be amazingly brilliant at his field of study and his quirks will be good-naturedly Played for Laughs. The Professor may also happen to be a Bunny-Ears Lawyer who has wacky hobbies and idiosyncrasies, sometimes heating up Cup of Noodles soup in a test tube with a Bunsen burner or wearing wildly mismatched clothing. Or a regular Mad Scientist among Villain Protagonists. Or just a Reluctant Mad Scientist or sufferer of Science-Related Memetic Disorder who happens to not be evil. Sometimes, in fact, The Professor is an ex- Mad Scientist who has pulled a Heel–Face Turn and now works for the good guys. Combining this figure with the Mad Scientist is a common subversion. May have hints of being The Spock, but this is usually not central to the figure.
#PROFESSOR FRINK TV#
He's also very likely to be a TV Genius.Ĭompare Omnidisciplinary Scientist and Absent-Minded Professor, may study a Fantastic Science instead of a regular one.
If he plays a game, it's inevitably chess, because Smart People Play Chess. Fluent in Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness and Sounds of Science. Is the source of much Applied Phlebotinum, but is incapable of providing a solution that would thwart the show's premise (the Professor couldn't get the rest of the gang off that darn island, Ziggy couldn't bring Sam home on Quantum Leap).
Probably started off as a Teen Genius and is capable of many an Ass Pull, Deus ex Machina, or, um, Polarity Reversal. The Smart Guy who's Super Intelligent, a Stock Character exemplified on Gilligan's Island and MacGyver (1985).
