With a background in science and experience as a Bomb Team Technician/EOD during the Vietnam War, MacGyver is known for his ingenuity and extensive knowledge of the physical sciences. He tackles intricate issues using everyday items he finds around him, along with his trusty duct tape and Swiss Army knife. MacGyver favors non-violent solutions and generally avoids using firearms, though he will resort to them if absolutely necessary.
