Also known as Burt Travis

Gadgetman, a.k.a. Burt Travis, is a superhero and partner of the crime-fighter Gimmick-Kid. While he possesses no inherent enhanced abilities, Gadgetman is a brilliant scientist and inventor and, along with Gimmick-Kid, uses an array of gadgets and devices to combat crime. It is unclear how long Gadgetman has been a superhero, and the details of his origin have not been chronicled, but he first teamed with Gimmick-Kid just a few months before their first chronicled adventure, and Gadgetman's heroics were already well known to the law-abiding public and the criminal element at that time.
