== Appearance ==
== 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 international version) 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.
