Origin[]

Kuute knockout was a female robot invented by Doc Gimmick to serve as a feminine lure for potential victims. The robot would lure these victims into dark street corners, dropping a hanky to the ground, and when the victim reaches down to get it, the robot bops the victim over the head with a mallet and cleans out their pockets.

However Doc Gimmick's plan was foiled when Funnyman appears to be unharmed by the robot's mallet. Doc Gimmick went to test the robot and is knocked out by the mallet. Then the doctor's assistant, Torgo, went to help the doctor only to be knocked out by Funnyman. When the police arrived, Funnyman explained that he protected himself with a metal skull cap hidden under a wig.
