Dr. Von Goosewing: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

He is a terrible scientist, often getting injured by his own inventions. When not inventing some new machine or contraption with which to hunt vampires, he relies on an old-fashioned blunderbuss, which is loaded with a wooden stake (although, curiously, it will sometimes fire laser beams). Here and there he does manage to make an invention that works, but is never successful with its execution.

Von Goosewing appears to have (or have had) an assistant named [[Heinrich]]~~. Most evidence within~~ the show ~~suggests~~ he ~~may be~~ a figment of Von Goosewing's imagination, ~~some sort of imaginary friend. The Marvel comic books mention this at one point, but then also suggest~~ that Heinrich is ~~actually his~~ former assistant ~~who is always complaining about paltry wages. He mentions~~ that ~~Heinrich threatened to resign, but is still with him -- it seems Heinrich may have~~ quit~~, but~~ Goosewing ~~failed to realize it~~.

Von Goosewing appears to have (or have had) an assistant named [[Heinrich]], who never appears in the show. There are two common theories for why this is -- one being that he is a figment of Von Goosewing's imagination, and the other being that Heinrich is a former assistant that quit without Von Goosewing noticing.

He speaks in a German accent, often throwing in a basic word or two in German, such as saying “ein” instead of “a”. Von Goosewing pronounces “vampire” as “wampire”, and he sometimes structures his English sentences with the verb at the end, the way they might be structured if they were spoken in German:
