Karate Kat special article

Karate Kat is inching closer and closer to its release and we are going to explain a few things about the Karate Kat series.

First of all, Nathan Gamble's character appears less and less in the series and the film, but he is the owner of the crime fighting cat. His mother thinks he's crazy though, but he knows the truth!

The series is actually a little edgier, not for the younger kids, but the older preteen ones and up. It still holds a few comedic moments but it still consists of action, adventure and some heavier moments not usually found in straight up kiddie shows. Josh Collins has always wanted his cartoons to be like that to appeal to a variety of audiences that won't fall asleep or assume that it's a little kid's show. Take Ninja Turtles and the Batman Animated Series for examples.

Dr. N. Sane is the main villain in the film, as already mention in the production list. Dr. N. Sane has stuck with me as a villain since I was a little kid coming up with hero and villains and making back stories and comic adventures out of them.

Nicholas Sanson worked in his father's factory doing floor-work like every other employee. His father never seemed to have high hopes for his son; not so much as even talked about him to others while his father would sing high praises about Nick's siblings. So obviously, his dad was not going to leave the factory in Nick's name when he died.

On the side, Nick went to school for engineering and was also building an authentic hand-held death-ray gun. He was never planning on using it, he just wanted to prove to his father that he was worth something. When he was done, he showed his brother, who asked to see it in action and after a little bit of persuasion, Nick gave in and shot a tree with it.

I wasn't much longer after that when Nick's father called him into his office to hear about a dangerous weapon he built. Nick was shocked that his own brother sold him out and forced disappointment from his dad even more. Nick's dad fired his own son.

Nick returned to the factory and went postal with his death ray gun, shooting any employee who happened to cross his vision while he marched to his father's office. He had snapped that day and felt that it wasn't he who tried to earn approval from his father, but he wanted to approve of his dad. When he failed time and time again, Nick blasted his dad with the ray gun.

After the massacre at the factory, he fled the scene and the state, changing his name from Nicholas Sanson to Nick Sane and started his life anew. With his mechanics and engineer background he was able to start a business of his own, recruiting people to help him build all kinds of things: weapons, machines, robots. By day he's a successful businessman, selling his household machines and robots to make peoples lives easier. But by night, he's always trying to seek the approval of his dead dad. When he feels that his dad isn't listening to him, he'll always try harder, usually resulting in people being hurt.

He's not a physically powerful villain, but what he lacks in physic he makes up for with intelligence and his heavy artillery. He considers himself a scientist and wishes to be referred to as a Doctor. The media referred to him as Dr. N. Sane after his first major news story hit. The name was used as a pun like every other news-story has a particular title or word for someone and the name stuck as his villainous moniker.
