Editing Gyro Gearloose (section)

==Biography==
Gyro is [[Duckburg]]'s ingenious [[inventor]], even though his inventions sometimes do not work the way he wants them to. His outrageous productivity is presented as a factor in the quality of his inventions. Because Gyro is always coming up with new ideas, the fact that his inventions often lack an important feature will often cause trouble for both Scrooge and Donald, who are known to have frequently bought his inventions. He is known for being good-natured towards others. Gyro is often assisted by his [[List of Donald Duck characters#Little Helper|Little Helper]] (or just "Helper"), who is a small anthropomorphic [[robot]] with a [[Incandescent light bulb|light bulb]] for a head.<ref>{{cite book|last=Andrae|first=Tom|title=From Burbank to Duckburg|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CYP2Cj_Gb98C&q=gyro+gearloose&pg=PA99|work=Carl Banks and the Disney Comic Book|year=2006|publisher=University Press of Mississippi|isbn=9781578068586|access-date=1 February 2012}}</ref> Besides Little Helper, he also has a "thinking cap", a hat shaped like a combination of a rooftop and a nest, with three black birds living inside it. Wearing this thinking cap helps Gyro figure out particularly difficult problems, but it only works if the birds are currently nesting in the cap. Some stories have involved the birds leaving Gyro's thinking cap, resulting in the cap becoming ineffective.  

Some of Gyro's relatives include his father [[Gyro Gearloose#Fulton Gearloose|Fulton Gearloose]], his grandfather [[Gyro Gearloose#Ratchet Gearloose|Ratchet Gearloose]], and [[Gyro Gearloose#Newton Gearloose|Newton Gearloose]], his [[Cousin|nephew]]. Occasionally there have been stories about Gyro's girlfriend Matilda. In some stories, Gyro's primary rival is [[Emil Eagle]], although he is also antagonized by the [[Beagle Boys]] and [[Magica De Spell]].<ref>''Scrooge McDuck'' comic books</ref> With his inventions, he is also a very important ally of [[Donald Duck]]'s alter ego, [[Paperinik]], in the Italian Disney comics. Consistent with the two "G's" in his name, he had bins on his shelves containing odds and ends, which he labeled "Gewgaws", "Gimcracks", "Gadgets", and "Gizmos".
