Steve Austin vs. Inspector Gadget (338/365)

Posted to Flickr on 04 December 2010. Part of the Duel 365 series.

Steve Austin: Astronaut who barely survived the crash of his spacecraft and was "rebuilt" with cutting-edge technology, making him the world’s first bionic man: better, stronger, and faster.

Inspector Gadget: Simple-minded cyborg detective who fights the criminal organization M.A.D. with a seemingly endless number of built-in gadgets such as spring-loaded legs and a telescopic neck.

If they had to fight, who would win?

#338 in the Duel 365 series.

Setup

This photo was taken in my kitchen using some pretty simple Gear. You might be surprised to discover how low-tech my "photography studio" really is.

Duel 365

Duel 365 was a year-long project I started in 2010. The goal was to post one photo each day depicting a duel, usually between two pop culture figures, and asking the question, "If they had to fight, who would win?" At the request of those who came to follow the project, I also provided text descriptions of each character. One of the rules was to avoid using the same figure in multiple photos. Another challenge was that I was not allowed to use Photoshop or other advanced photo editors to create the scenes; all editing was done either in-camera or with Apple’s iPhoto software. Over 700 figures were used for the project, which believe it or not represents only a small part of my toy collection.

The Six Million Dollar Man

The Six Million Dollar Man (1974) is a television series that follows the adventures of a former United States astronaut who, after a terrible accident, is given bionic implants and completes missions for a government organization called the OSI. The title character of Steve Austin was portrayed by Lee Majors. The series was based on the novel Cyborg by Martin Caidin. A spin-off show The Bionic Woman and several television movies followed.
