Dr. Claw is the original Inspector Gadget.
The Inspector Gadget we know from the cartoon is actually the second Inspector, built by his niece as a completely robotic replacement after the first one went missing in action and was presumed dead.
But he wasn't dead, just disfigured and insane.
When he returned home, he found a robot living his life and raising his niece.
Seeing this after the traumatic incident that disfigured him, he went insane and devoted his life to destroying the robot that stole his life.
The main evidence is that Inspector Gadget's robotic parts are never explained and don't really make sense.
He's kind of an idiot, so it's unlikely that he was some kind of supercop that they chose to robotically enhance.
That's why we never see Dr. Claw's face, and why Penny is never harmed even when she's captured by Claw's thugs.
He wants his family back.
