Dr. Fooler

Professor I.Q. Plenty- A scientist who invented the wacky machine, causing all machines to go out of control. Episode 28: The Wacky Machine. Although the name I.Q. Plenty was only used instead of Fooler in the English language version of this episode, this character appears in several episodes and manga stories.

Dr. Fooler is another of Tezuka's mad scientists. Childish, both in his appearance and in his behavior, he is nosy and pushy and often worms his way into business he should not be part of, or pushes forwrad ill-conceived scientific projects against the better judgemnet of wiser scientists. He appears frequently in Astro Boy, generally not as a villain but as the accidental cause of great calamities. Another major role of his is as Professor Hellsing in the comedy manga Don Dracula, a ludicrous and hemmorhoid-plagued old vampire hunter still pursuing Dracula after many decades of failure.
