We all remember the high-tech equipment that we secretly wanted to try while bringing justice to the world. From hairpins to jetpacks the spies have always been given gadgets that proved to be life-saving. In addition to their usefulness, the tools also had a stylish look and some pieces even came in personalized colors. Today we selected 10 out of all the mind-blowing gadgets to remind you of how cool the spies were back then!
1. Laser Lipstick
It is a laser gadget that is disguised as a tube of lipstick and was mainly used for infiltration and breaking free from traps. It was used in Season 1 and Season 2, but after the introduction of the Laser Nail File (a laser gadget disguised as a nail file) at the start of Season 3, it was not used in Season 3 or Season 4.
But in Season 5 episode "Evil Gymnasts" (which took place in Europe, along with the next two episodes, "Evil Pizza Guys" and "Evil Shoe Designer"), the gadget returned. The laser is turned on by rotating the bottom base of the lipstick. Jerry uses a Laser Fountain Pen.
In the episode "Malled", it was used by Clover to cut a new opening into a wall after running into a dead end while being chased by two henchmen. It was used by Alex to create an opening in the ceiling under a vent to escape a locked room overfilling with fashionable goods. It was used in that episode by Alex and Clover to activate the Beverly Hills Mall's fire alarm system.
2. WOOHPed
The WOOHPed tunnel network is the gadget that sends Sam, Alex, and Clover to Jerry Lewis's office via any means necessary. The system also works in reverse.
The tunnel network is limited to the city. For any mission outside the city limits, the spies must use a vehicle.
3. Compowder, X-powder
The one that everyone knows, multifunctional with gravity defying features, the Compowder is a WOOHP gadget that is shaped as a compact mirror.
It serves as a mobile phone to Jerry, and also does analysis. From Season 3, it is renamed the X-Powder and given additional abilities such as changing the spies' clothing and projecting their appearance as a hologram. It resembles a pink compact with a mirror.
At the start of Season 3, it was renamed the X-Powder. It also has the new ability of allowing the girls to instantly change their outfits from their Catsuits to any disguise appear. It can also change the appearance of vehicles.
The X-Powders were updated once again at the start of Season 6, going back to the original name of Compowder. New features include DNA recognition, hands-free capability (which literally allows the compowder to levitate), multiple data window projection function; and a "shiny skin protector", which detects when the user's face gets extra sweaty.
4. Destructo Ring Cell Phone
A gadget seen in the episode "Evil Hotel", that emits a sonic ringtone which can destroy anything in hits.
However, the technicians at the WOOHP lab failed to make it waterproof.
When Sam and Clover tried to use it to escape a laser containment cell in a stateroom at the Aqua Vitae Resort, it failed to work because it had been damaged due to water exposure.
Jerry warned the spies that it was not to use for "personal calls" and it bummed Clover out.
5. Electroshock Powerpuff
The Electroshock Powerpuff is a device first seen in "The Incredible Bulk". Sam attaches two bandaids to Alex's bulky body, gained after eating many Bulky Bars.
Clover then uses the Powerpuff to shock Alex into submission, so she will attack Ulrich Wernerstein instead of her.
The Powerpuff also has a "MEGA" setting which Clover uses, but the effects of it are unclear. They have a 20,000 volt capacity. To reverse the effects, one must simply push another button.
6. G.L.A.D.I.S.
G.L.A.D.I.S. (Gadget Lending And Distribution Interactive System) was introduced in the episode "Physics 101 Much?" of Season 3, as a Gadget lending device. She speaks with a female voice and appears to have a mind of her own, even sometimes claiming she's the true leader of WOOHP. In several episodes she ignores Jerry's orders and distributes the gadgets she believes are needed for the mission.
It's later revealed in "Evil G.L.A.D.I.S. Much?" that her brain is downloaded from a brilliant evil mastermind called the Brain who attempted to start World War 3 by misleading nations into firing missiles at one another but did not have any of his evil downloaded into her. Alexandra accidentally spilled cranberry juice on her and she became evil because she shares the same allergy as the Brain, which results in both being crazy after being spilled with cranberry juice.
The only way that G.L.A.D.I.S. could turn back to normal was by having her mainframe washed with a base to counteract the acid in the cranberry juice.
In "Evil Roommate", the second episode of Season 5, Jerry Lewis sent her to the WOOHP recycling facility because of her attitude, claiming that her personality had landed her an extended "vacation".
Jerry begins distributing the gadgets for the girls again. Judging by Jerry's tone of voice, he had G.L.A.D.I.S. dismantled.
7. Heat Sensor 6000 Infrared Motion Detector Sunglasses
The Heat Sensor 6000 Infrared Motion Detector Sunglasses is a Gadget used to detect heat and motion.
The sunglasses are entirely pink. The frames are thin and the lenses have a cat-shaped appearance to them. At the corners of the glasses are red flowers.
Strangely, although it detects heat and motion, it can also be used to check the database.
It debuts in episode "Child's Play" in which Alex uses it to check some of the Kozy toys' production years; all years were found to contradict the Kozyrev representative's words on the toyline being "brand new". This is strange as Jerry had not mentioned anything about this gadget being able to do so.
8. The Magnabelt
The Magnabelt is an attachment gadget disguised as a belt. The magnet is extremely powerful. A white belt with a yellow buckle which can be launched but still remain attached by a metallic cable and attach itself to any metallic surface.
The magnabelt makes is debut in "Child's Play". After Jerry tosses the belt to Clover, she expresses her dislike towards its style and hands it over to Alex. When Clover and Alex are chasing Vladimir in his jet, Alex uses the magnabelt to get onto it.
9. The Modelizer
The Modelizer is a machine seen in "Model Citizens." It is used to swap body parts from one person to another.
It is split up into two sides, one side for the person receiving the desirable body parts and the other for the person getting the not-so-desirable parts from the person.
The machine can also swap faces. A later model was created so that the process was irreversible.
10. Pomade Grenade
Pomade is a product that's used to style hair and gives it a slick, shiny appearance. It can be grease, wax, or water-based, but the pomade grenade is a gadget that explodes.
In both the series and movie, it is egg-shaped and is mainly lavender colored, between the cap and center body is a gray color.
The main body also has grooves on it. It is framed by a red material and at the bottom has a tail. It was used in "Totally Spies! The Movie", when Mandy complained about the smudge on her windshield and demanded Clover, Alex, and Sam wipe it down immediately.
Clover happily obliged and took out the grenade. She shook it and with huge smirk tossed it to Mandy, which explodes in her face and completely drenches her, Caitlin, and Dominique in foam.
