== Appearance ==
Drake's costume is reminiscent of various 1970's Japanese superhero outfits like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casshan Neo-Human Casshern] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Ninja_Team_Gatchaman Gatchaman] . He sports a helmet with a blue (yellow in the U.S.) visor and a yellow V on his chest. His face can barely be seen through his visor, and when visible it is shown that his "teeth" are always showing, a supposed heroic smile. He also has a blaster holstered on the left side of his belt, possibly indicating that he is left-handed. In later appearances like Captain Rainbow, his chin protrudes and is the only visible part of his head, while in [[Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder|''Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder'']] only part of his eyes are distinguishable. Drake's design was changed drastically in [[Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder|''Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder'']]: he instead sports a thinner belt with a new design on the buckle, his helmet completely covers his face, and he has a more organic design that makes him seem like a modern action figure.

Drake is completely loyal to justice, and makes efforts to stop anything that he perceives to be evil. He may not be the smartest hero, and is often forgetful and gets distracted from his self-imposed duties, though he is very kind and only wishes to help people. He has difficulty understanding some things, and is also said to be hiding some secret sadness deep in his heart.

When the [[Alien|aliens]] visit, he assumes they are evil, and tries to attack them. Though when he poses, it turns out he had run out of Gunpowder, and his explosion wont work. Upset, he returns inside to work on his training once more. Giving him the gunpowder from the [[Basement]] solves this issue.

When [[Sunshine]] attacks [[Princess Pitts|Princess Pitts']] castle, Drake flies in to stop him. He attempts to use his Force-Shield, but since Sunshine was already standing inside of it, the incoming punch is not blocked at all and he's sent flying to the ground.

Following the defeat of the [[Queen Spydor]], Drake will stand on the chair in the [[Living Room]], asking [[Chibi-Robo]] to watch the news with him to relax. The news informs him that [[Chibi-Robo]]s are causing an energy crisis, leading him to believe that Chibi-Robo is on the path of evil! Having an internal crisis, he asks Chibi-Robo to leave him alone for a bit. If his part in the [[Mort]] and [[Princess Pitts]] story is complete, he will be found outside the following night, with the [[Alien|aliens]]. He tells Chibi-Robo to perform his special attack Great Twin Blizzard with him, since it requires the cooperation of two Space Hunters. The team attack summons a meteor of ice onto the [[Alien|aliens]], which actually ends up helping them, thus completing his story.
