VS Character Analysis: Dr. Doofenshmirtz (Part 1)



Before I begin:


Ah jeez Phineas and Ferb canon is a nightmare.

This will be covering nearly all official material featuring Doofenshmirtz. The tv shows and movies will hold precedence over all else, but almost everything will be looked at. This includes Phineas and Ferb, both movies, Milo Murphy’s Law, Hamster & Gretel, any official commercials, all Phineas and Ferb video games, all books*, Spot the Diff, Shark Tank, Doofenshmirtz’s Daily Dirt, Take Two with Phineas and Ferb**, Random Rings, Character Commentaries, Theme Song Take Over, How NOT To Draw Dr. Doofenshmirtz, the 2010 Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, and The Best Live Tour Ever.

In general, these all do not contradict the show much, and the ways that they do can easily be explained and are relatively minor (For example, several novels and magazines claim Baljeet's last name is "Rai", while the show has it as "Tjinder". Both were officially given by co-creator Jeff "Swampy" Marsh at different times, which explains the different cases and isn't that important anyway). And it isn't like the show doesn't contradict itself several times anyway, such as Carl stating he was born without nostrils (13:40) despite describing how things smell (12:28) several times (3:07).

That isn’t to say everything ever is getting included. Chibi Tiny Tales for example is explicitly stated to be not canon in the theme song. Crossover games such as Disney XD Jump the Shark are also not going to be included. An exception will be made for the Where's My Perry series of games as outside of the commercials, they are largely disconnected from the mainline Where's My Water games. For a similar reason, Broken Karaoke is not being used as well.

Doof's takeover of Kiff's theme song is also not being included. While the video makes it clear that the Phineas and Ferb world and the Kiff world are not naturally connected, with Doof and Perry only appearing with portals, it is still a crossover with a property not created by Dan Povenmire or Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, and thus comes with some additional consequences about scaling and whatnot that are clearly far outside the initial scope of the series.

Additionally, due to the weird canonicity of the show, it can be hard to determine what is and isn’t canon, so for this we will be treating every episode that has the actual Doofenshmirtz as canon. This includes Mission Marvel, both Cliptastic Countdowns, and Night of the Living Pharmacists, but will not include any of the Time Shift episodes or episodes that are confirmed to take place in another universe like Tales from the Resistance or Lost in Danville (though any of those are still usable for scaling). Wizard of Odd and Phineas and Ferb Get Busted are both dreams, and Terrifying Tri-State Trilogy of Terror, Excaliferb, and Ferb TV are in-universe stories, so won’t be counted either. Also the Star Wars special is confirmed to be non-canon and it doesn’t even use the normal versions of the characters anyway. Also also, even though Mission Marvel is being treated as canon, there will not be any scaling to the Marvel characters counterparts from the other Disney XD shows.

A full media guide will be at the bottom of part 2 listing exactly what was and wasn't included.

*Unfortunately I was unable to find every single Phineas and Ferb book and comic online for free, some I could only find partially, and I really did not want to spend money for this blog. This blog will cover as much as I was able to, and a full list of what books and comics are and aren't covered can be found here, as well as links to whatever website I was able to find them on. If anyone has the missing ones or knows how to get them for free, I would love if you could share that with me and I will update the blog as soon as I can with the new information.

**Only the United States versions of the episodes were looked at, and there were a couple reasons why. The most obvious is that I don't speak all the languages, but a larger reason is that most of the segments were repurposed segments from the American release. For example, Bruno Salomone's interview uses the same segments from Neil Patrick Harris's, and this is true for most of the international episodes. Because of this, I felt it wasn't necessary to look through the entire catalogue of international episodes as they would add very little if anything at all.

Also, shout out to CapeVS's Perry vs Skipper blog, which I got some calcs from and will specify which ones they are.


Background

Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a name synonymous with power, genius, and pure evil that strikes fear into anyone who hears it. Or at least, that's what he wants you to think. Born in the long European country of Drusselstein, Heinz's life was never easy. After neither of his parents showed up for his birth, he was forced to celebrate every subsequent birthday alone, throwing surprise birthday parties for himself. Soon after, he was disowned by his parents and raised by ocelots, and with little money he had from working at the carnival dunk tank (as the ball you throw to dunk people), he made his only friend Balloony.

He was eventually reunited with his family, where he would be forced to work as a lawn gnome all day and all night, unable to move even as Balloony started floating away. Soon, Doof's parents were expecting another child, and his mother spent hours knitting beautiful dresses for the young girl to wear. Unfortunately, the baby turned out to be a boy, which forced Doof to wear all of the dresses that were knit, causing him to be made a laughing stock. 

His new brother Roger turned out to be an expert in kickball, the sport that Doof's mother's love was inexplicably linked to, causing Roger to easily be the favorite child. It wasn't just his parents that were rude to him either, he was bullied by nearly everyone. Boris always kicked sand in his face, Grulinda dumped buckets of water on his head, and in his teenage years Huge-Hands Hans won over the love of Doof's first girlfriend. 

It wasn't all awful for him though, as during this time he discovered his love of science at the science fair where he would develop his Inator, the first of many to come. Although he lost to a baking soda volcano, he knew that he had found his passion. The next year, he came back with an Even Bigger Inator, though again lost to a baking soda volcano. After taking a trip to the Schtor, which turned out to actually be a ship, Doof figured he was departing for a new land full of golden opportunity. Unfortunately, he landed in America instead. 

However, Doof never gave up. He started his own bratwurst company where he worked as a street vendor, dated Lindana before she got famous, and joined a poetry competition, where again he lost to a baking soda volcano. Eventually, he would attend community college and meet Charlene, where they fell in love. They got married and had a daughter together named Vanessa, though they got divorced some point after because she couldn't stand Mr. Tomato, Doof's sock puppet (at least, that's what she tells him).

At some point, Doof attended Evil school, and though he flunked out, this started a spark inside Doof. He knew evil was calling to him as his passion, and using his knowledge of science he started to create more inventions he called Inators, all for the goal of taking over the Tri-State Area. After getting his picture taken one day, he realized someone was watching him, a teal platypus secret agent named Perry who would become Doof's nemesis. Every day since, he hatched a new evil scheme and created an Inator, all funded for by his ex-wife Charlene's alimony checks, and Perry the Platypus would show up to stop him.

Doof eventually would bring the greatest evil geniuses around together and form L.O.V.E. M.U.F.F.I.N., the League Of Villainous Evildoers Maniacally United For Frightening Investments in Naughtiness, and although known for losing, especially with his love for self-destruct buttons, some of his schemes have gone according to plan, at least somewhat. He moved the Earth away from the sun creating an everlasting winter, he turned Carl evil, though he got captured by him, and he successfully rotated the moon, which as it turns out will not rotate the dark side of the moon, go figure. 

Despite having one of the worst childhoods in cartoon history, Doof will never give up. Eventually he tried throwing the evil part of him away, becoming a good guy and joining O.W.C.A., the crime-fighting Organization Without a Cool Acronym. His legacy would not be forgotten either, as far into the future he would become known as Professor Time, the inventor of time travel. To the rest of the Tri-State Area however, he will forever be known as Doctor Heinz Doofenshmirtz (especially after he tried to put a hole in the ozone shaped like his name).

Experience, Skill, and Intelligence

Doof has been in the fight against evil (on the side of evil) for a good while. He has been stated to have fought Perry at least 100 (3:17), if not over 150 timesand even 200 times in the same summer, and it is even shown that he's been fighting Perry since Milo was in the first grade (a, 3:48). Milo turns 13 over the course of the show, which would suggest that he is in seventh grade, giving Doof 6 years of experience fighting Perry (though this is debatable, as Across the 2nd Dimension notes that it's been 5 years since Phineas and Ferb got Perry (2:32), and he's obviously younger than he is when he's shown meeting Doof). Of course he usually fails to enact his plans, but that doesn't mean the experience isn't there. He has also shown to be able to combat other characters such as Peter the Panda, various Pistachions (34:38), his own zombie clones (37:59), and even several Marvel villains with his Waffle-inator. He also assisted the rest of L.O.V.E. M.U.F.F.I.N. in capturing every animal agent in a short time frame. After he defected to the good side and joined O.W.C.A., he would be trained by Perry the Platypus and learn to fight as a team, taking down Professor Parenthesis in the process (The OWCA Files).

Doof has also shown excellence in thinking on his feet to avoid disasters. He was shown being able to react to and assist against small bubbles of Orgaluth's Law (basically a stronger Murphy's Law) and quickly comes up with a plan to lure bees away from his daughter and her friends (10:24), which he later also does something similar against his zombie army (39:32). However, he has also shown a degree of impulsiveness and lack of self-control several times, such as when he pushed a button specifically labeled "Do Not Push", twice (a, 7:06).

Despite losing constantly against Perry the Platypus, Doof is surprisingly skilled in combat. He has been able to match Perry on several occasions, such as in a brief wrench fight or when he wielded a bratwurst against Perry with a hot dog, even catching him by surprise when he decided to bite the end off of Perry's weapon to gain an advantage. When both were wielding weapons, Doof was able to match and even disarm Perry of his sword while retaining the ball-and-chain he had (10:11), and when Perry was wielding noisemakers, Doof using paddle-balls was able to match blow-for-blow and eventually get knock him off the platform. Perhaps most impressively, he could fight Perry while in the middle of a fast double-dutch machine, which had previously caught Perry. Other impressive showings outside of his battles with Perry are when he bested Rodney with a mop (39:42) and fought back against an invisible tiger (6:50).

Doofenshmirtz has shown other impressive skills off as well. He was able to orchestrate the successful jailbreak of Dennis the Rabbit out of OWCA-traz, which is called a super secret maximum security prison (1:02), and came up with a plan of escape after several OWCA agents had seemingly given up on escape (19:10). He was able to quickly pick handcuffs with a hairpin, and with the assistance of Perry, set traps all over a park in order to incapacitate the skilled bounty hunter there (13:22). He can speak whale (6:08) and, though he claims to not understand Perry (6:52), he has shown that he can understand at least a few sentences in platypus (12:18). He claims to know the martial art as Singapore Crab that he learned in Hoboken (6:08), as well as being the boxing champion in middle school (6:42). He also knows another unknown martial art that he tried out in his youth, and his proposed institute offers mixed martial arts, implying Doof knows some degree of that as well. However, it should be noted that he failed jungle gym in grade school and deems it notable to mention when in a pinch, meaning he likely doesn't consider himself much greater than his past self in this regard.

Doof is a scientific genius, being knowledgable in many branches of science, including robotics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, and more. He regularly constructs massive machines capable of performing scientific impossibilities, and while he usually uses blueprints to go off of for his inventions, he does not need to. He was able to create a Re-Good-inator out of just the spare parts he found on a plane (12:36), as well as a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free-inator out of seemingly random objects in prison, and most impressively, after being stranded through time in ancient Mongolia with nothing more than the clothes he was wearing (9:12), he was able to create an invention that could take him back to the present from scratch. He also was able to recognize that Perry was making slight adjustments to his inator in order to perform the opposite effect, though he failed to realize the reason Perry was doing it (4:56). 

Unfortunately, this level of technological prowess comes with the drawback of generally less-than-average common sense. The most infamous example is his repeated ability to not recognize Perry the Platypus without his hat, even when being told that the platypus's name is Perry. However, this is not as big of a weakness as it may seem. Though being unable to recognize Perry when first seeing him as a platypus, should Perry remove his hat Doof is still generally able to recognize him as Perry (most of the time). Additionally, Major Monogram mentions that Perry could not show himself as Phineas and Ferb's pet for risk of Doofenshmirtz recognizing him like that (15:37), meaning it is possible that Doof has learned enough overtime to mitigate this perceived weakness. Doof is also capable of recognizing Perry's fighting style on a giant marionette puppet (8:47), confirming that this is likely a very specific gap in his otherwise noteworthy intelligence.

Equipment

Inators


Doofenshmirtz is known for making inventions, which he typically names with the suffix "-inator". Technically not all of the inventions in this section have the "-inator" suffix, because Doof occasionally likes to change things up. Most of Doofenshmirtz's inators have a self-destruct button on them, which often leads to his own downfall. A majority of these are destroyed, but Doofenshmirtz has shown to hold various inators in his house when they aren't in use, holds old inator parts in his basement (3:00), and has been able to replicate an inator exactly how it was made originally (4:56), so it is likely that he could replicate them all. A lot of the handheld ones are even kept in a box. This list includes every inator Doof has created that we know about, however official commercials have described him as having "thousands of inators", meaning that he has much more that we haven't seen. Unfortunately there's no real way to account for that.

Magnetism Magnifier/Magnif-inator


Drill-inator


Deflate-inator



Destruct-inator


Melt-inator 6-5000


Wood-inator


Slave-inator


Age-Accelerator-inator


Poop-inator


Freeze-inator


Voice-inator


Shrinkspheria


Make-Up-Your-Mind-inator

An inator that Doof claims can destroy anyone who can't make up their mind. We never actually see it in action, so it is unclear exactly what it would do, though the inator was never destroyed on-screen.

Copy-and-Paste-inator


Monster-Truck-Away-inator


Monster-Truck-Locate-inator

A small handheld inator that tells Doof where the nearest monster truck is so that he may destroy it. It doesn't seem that useful, though given Doof has his own monster truck he would be able to locate it with this.

Destruct-inator

An inator that Doof made for an unknown reason. When fired, it can instantly destroy something, as it does to a bridge. It is destroyed itself when Perry pushes it off a cliff.

Now-Who's-Blinded-By-Sand-inator


Gloom-inator 3000-inator


Bread-inator


Slow-Motion-inator


Ugly-inator


Sandwich-Suit-Remove-inator

Media-Erase-inator


Atomic Leaf-Blower-inator


Shrink-inator

An inator that Doof has made many times over the course of the series. The first was seen in Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?, where it was turned into a plantar by Doof. This one has a button that fires a beam that shrinks things down to handheld size, shrinking a pair of portals to be earrings for Linda. This one later appears in Let's Take A Quiz, where it shrinks the entire game show in Phineas and Ferb's backyard (9:22), and even shrinks all of Doofenshmirtz except for his hand (10:30). What is seen after this is unknown.

There is also a version of the Shrink-inator that is seen on Doof's hovercraft in Not Phineas and Ferb. This one is used to shrink many famous landmarks all over the world (4:40), and can also grow things back to normal size if they are shot again with it (9:38). 




Giant Robotic Penguin Icy-Freeze-Your-Socks-Off-Breath-inator


Inator


Not as good as a baking soda volcano though.

Misbehave-inator

A small handheld inator that Doof created so that he could win the dog show. As Doof says himself, it does what the name implies, making whatever is hit with it misbehave, like trained dogs now being rude to their owners. It seems to force whoever is hit to do the opposite of whatever they would do normally, as Buford was a good sport about losing after getting hit, when prior he was a sore loser

Giant Heat Ray


Dance-inator

Intended to make a machine that instantly dries his clothes, Doof accidentally made an inator that harnesses the power of dance to make whatever it hits forced to dance. This works even on inanimate objects like clothes, a movie studio, or even the inator itself. While the victim is forced to dance, it appears that they are able to choose what dance they want to do, and thus are still able to fight while being forced to dance. Doof and Perry were able to stop dancing at the same time, though it is a bit unclear of what causes this, as even after the Dance-inator is destroyed, it was still able to affect the movie studio from across town. It also doesn't appear to be a time limit, as it is implied that the dryer repair man had been dancing for a long time before Perry showed up. The Dance-inator was eventually led off of a ledge and destroyed.

Read-My-Mind-inator


Smell-inator


Platypus-Secret-Agent-Arrival-In-Order-To-Foil-My-Evil-Plot-Capture-inator


Hot-Dog-Vendor-Revenge-inator


Turn-Everthing-Evil-inator



Invis-inator


De-Love-inator Satellite


Whale-Translator-inator


Ballgown-inator


Static-Electro-Amplif-inator


Kick-inator 5000

Doof's mother's love was always inexplicably linked to kickball, which is a real shame as Doof was not good at it. So when the Doofenshmirtz family reunion rolled around and the annual kickball tournament started, he needed a way to impress his mother, and so created this inator (6:21). It allows him to kick much stronger than his normal kicks, strong enough to kick a kickball across town (9:35). However it is notably heavy and hard to walk around in, and Doof still has to time his kicks in order to succeed at kickball. This inator was never actually destroyed.

Evaporator-inator


Scorch-inator


Mountain-Out-of-a-Molehill-inator


Unstuck-inator


Monkey-Enslave-inator Helmet


Music-Video-Mind-Control-inator

His name is Doof and I'll do what he says *woop woop*


Nanny-inator


Bum-Bum-inator


Away-inator Helmet


Giant Dog-Biscuit-inator


Bigger-inator

An inator that Doof built for an unknown reason. When activated, it fires a beam that makes anything it hits much larger, and it can affect objects as large as the moon, growing them to a much larger size (17:02). It is unknown what happened to the inator as it is not seen after Mr. Fluffypants activates it.

Yodel-inator


Platy-Proliferator-inator


Metal-Destruct-inator


Re-Tire-inator


Retire-inator

An inator that Doof plans to use once he is in his senior years. It has a cat, a lamp, a tv screen, a fan, and a book of crossword puzzles. It can also recline (4:12). Look I don't know how Doof could use this in combat but I'm trying to be extensive here alright!

Mime-inator


Shoelace-inator


Carbon-Footprint-inator


Naughty-inator


Anti-Gravity-Evil-Launch-inator


In-Doors-inator


Duplic-8-inator


Be-Gone-inator

An inator that Doof made three versions of within his flatbed truck, giving himself Plan A, B, and C to work with. Doof describes it being able to deface anything it hits (4:45), though it is closer to destruction or disintegration, and it destroys anything shot with it (7:50). The first inator was destroyed by Doof slipping on Perry the Bobblehead (6:38), the second was destroyed by Doof purposely so that he and Perry were even (7:33), and the third destroys itself, along with most of the truck (9:22).

Junk-Food-inator


Wrapped-Up-In-a-Nice-Little-Bow-inator


Aerosol-Propelled-Ozone-Deplete-inator


Straitjacket-inator



Gigant-inator Ray

An inator that sticks out of the top of Doof's building. The device is activated by a light switch, sending a beam out that changes the size of whatever it hits. Flicking the switch up causes the victim to grow (3:14), and flicking it down causes them to shrink (11:07). It was activated twice, both times on accident, and what happens after it is unknown.

Omni-Directional-Amplif-inator


Eradicate-Rodney's-Inator-inator

During the annual Inator Creator contest, Doof was determined to win and take the trophy belt from last year's winner Rodney. After a fog machine and a fight with the OWCA animal agents, Rodney's Fog-Clearer-inator (just an electric fan) was the only one left. Before he is declared the winner however, Doof comes out with this inator, which creates a large fist to smash down on whatever is next to it. This inator won Doof the competition, but was soon after destroyed by a herd of robot bulls (20:37).


Accelerate-inator


Paper-Cut-inator


Tilt-inator



Alien-inator


Loud-inator


De-Evolutionator


Sand-inator


Look-Away-inator

Doof wanted to dive into a pool off of the high-dive, but didn't want anyone to watch him do it out of embarrassment, so he created this inator to make everyone else look away from what they were currently doing (3:25). The range on it was so great that it affected everyone in the Tri-State Area (9:38). Unfortunately Doof himself was not immune, and fell into the pool without meaning to, spilling water on the machine as well.

De-Volitionator


Super-Claw-inator


Go-Away-inator


Dodo-Bird-Incubator-inator


Rain-inator


Combine-inator

An inator Doof created that can combine two different things, such as a cockroach and an ice cream cone (1:55). It is also able to stack fusions on top of each other, such as when it fused Doof with Norm (5:20), and combined that fusion with a refrigerator (9:04). It was also able to fuse Perry with a tool box, giving Perry tool-like limbs (7:03). As shown when it fused Phineas and Ferb, if two sentient beings are fused together, they are both in charge of the now combined body (10:45). However, it also is able to just fuse things barely while keeping most of the original bodies intact, such as when it hit Candace and Jeremy and only fused them at the hip (3:25). Doof planned to fuse the capital building with an island that he owned and make Doof technically leader of the Tri-State Area (2:20), but the machine eventually locks into overload and sending random blasts in all directions (8:58). The effects were eventually all undone when the molecular separator that Phineas and Ferb made exploded and sent out a shockwave (9:50).

Salt Water Taffy-inator


Moisture-Suck-inator


Video-Beam-Hijack-Non-inator

Named as such because Doof attributed all his previous failures to them being named "inators", so this one certainly won't fail because it's not an inator. This inator interrupts whatever is on the screen with Doofenshmirtz himself, in an attempt to override his brother Roger's biography show playing later that day. It takes a little while to warm up (12:40), and ends up missing its target due to Perry shooting the front wheels of it (18:24). It eventually blows up.

Blow-Itself-Up-inator


Metal-Unearth-inator


All-Purpose-inator


Least-Likely-inator

An inator that makes people do the least likely thing they would ever do. For example, it made Irving flirt with Isabella and insult Phineas and Ferb (5:02), and made Candace clean up the house instead of busting the boys (9:17). Doof created this in order to make Roger make a fool of himself in front of legislation (5:23), but it eventually blows up after overuse.

Pick-'Em-Up-inator


Stain-inator


Very-Very-Bad-inator


Rotten-inator


Dull-and-Boring-inator

Initially created to make the rest of the Tri-State Area boring, thereby making Doof more interesting by comparison, it ended up hitting Phineas and Ferb before exploding. This caused Phineas and Ferb to be uninteresting, wanting to watch grass grow and beige paint dry (1:32). In this state they were even able to drive Baljeet into "deep dull" by talking about the weather (3:48). To fix this, Perry went back and helped Doof rebuild the inator, this time turning it into a Dynamic-inator. Doof helped because he thought that it could make himself more interesting by firing it at himself (5:05). This version ended up hitting Linda and making her much more interesting as a result, causing Perry to seemingly go back to Doof's once again (10:57). Doof has a remote that lets him control which way the inator is pointing (8:40), and the effects of the inator can be broken out of when under emotional distress, such as Phineas and Ferb reverting back to their old ways when Candace was in danger (9:45).

Forget-About-It-inator


Chicken-Soup-inator


Pop-Up-inator


If-A-Tree-Fell-In-The-Forest-inator


This inator used to be on Wikipedia but they removed it for some reason :(

Mustache-inator


Mind-Transfer-inator


 

Gimmelshtump-inator


Rude-inator

An inator that makes whatever hit with it incredibly rude and can be activated from afar with a remote. Intended to be used against Roger in his meeting with an English ambassador, the inator ended up hitting Phineas and Ferb's tower (9:33). "Rude" would be an understatement however, as the tower ended up attempting to kill Phineas and Ferb on multiple occasions (7:06), though still with a way out as that's how it was programmed. Eventually the tower created a barrier between Phineas and Ferb and the outside, before shutting down oxygen to them, all because of the Rude-inator (9:38). The inator was plugged up with a cork by Perry and when Doof tried to use it again, it exploded (9:17). 

Vaporizer-inator


Bulter-inator


Historical-Army-Retrieve-inator

An inator that runs on potatoes. It is able to retrieve an army from across history and take them into the present. Intending to summon the Spartan army, Doof accidentally brought the Mongul army into the present. Because he wasn't dressed properly, the army didn't listen to him and instead took to the streets. It appears to have a dial to be able to summon different armies (4:05). It is also able to send people back to the time of the armies, as Perry ended up sending the Mongul army, potato gremlins, and Doof back in time (9:12). What happens to the inator is unknown.

Transport-inator


Chicken-Replace-inator



Duplicate-inator 2


Underwear-inator


Turkey-inator


Babe-inator


Juice-inator


Tell-The-Truth-inator


De-Handsome-inator


Sculpt-inator


De-Twist-inator

An inator made to remove the twist out of all the pretzels at the Danville Pretzel Festival. Doof wanted to do this due to his hatred of pretzels because he was never able to twist a perfect one. It was able to straighten a girl's hair, made some yoga people stand straight up, and flattened a roller coaster (8:26). It also turned Phineas and Ferb's twisty water ride into a vertical line of water. It exploded when Doof was hit into it (9:25).

Cake-O-Hug-A-Fetti-inator

A collection of three inators that Doof made while sleepwalking. While they work independently (3:57), they are made to work even better when combined. The first turns whatever it hits into cake, including objects as large as the park. The second turns whatever it hits into confetti, even clouds. The third makes whatever it hits forcibly hug something. The plan was to put everyone in cake, make it hug them to trap them, and cover it in confetti so that they couldn't eat their way out (7:00). Unfortunately all three inators end up falling off the balcony, with Perry pushing the first one off, Norm tripping and knocking the second one, and Doof sarcastically telling Norm to throw the third one over which Norm does to. 

Dough-Blow-inator


Happy-Jump-inator


Baby-Cry-inator


Key-Find-inator


Cool-inator


De-Age-inator


Platyp-inator


Double-inator


Sphere-Attract-inator


Trip-To-The-Desert-inator


Fitness-Equipment-Lock-inator


Ultimate-Evil-inator

Doof's true inator that day. This inator makes anyone hit by it to become incredibly evil, though notably they are not guaranteed to be on Doof's side. Doof was planning to hit Major Monogram with it, but it ended up bouncing off of a mirror at the last second and Carl was hit instead. This made Carl extremely evil and could only be remedied by the Re-Good-inator (see two below). What happened to this inator after it is unknown.

Where's Perry inators

During the events of Where's Perry and Where's Perry Part 2, Doof shows off many inators that we only know of by name, or others that we know very little about (18:08). He brings these to OWCA in the hopes that Monogram will help him move his stuff in (12:13), but that's before he learns that Carl was the one hit by the Ultimate-Evil-inator. The inators that Doof moves in are:


Re-Good-inator

An inator made out of scrap parts Doof found on Major Monogram's jet (12:38). After the Ultimate-Evil-inator turned Carl evil, Doof needed to make something that could reverse the effects, and so this inator was created. If someone has been affected by something that turned them evil, getting zapped by this inator will make them good (18:40), though the "re-" in the name makes it questionable if it would make someone good even if they weren't originally. This inator is also unable to point any direction and is stuck in one spot (17:26). It was left in Africa and carried away with the rest of the wreckage. 

Big-Sad-Eye-inator


Peach-Cobbler-inator


A-Leaky-Faucet-inator


Backstory-inator


Feed-The-Pigeons-inator


Rust-inator

A small inator that has a wheel of cars on it, each as a button that targets that car. Whatever is hit with the ray will be reduced to red dust (4:42). Norm accidentally ends up using it on Doof's own car (8:45). Though the cars are the only buttons seen, it is likely that it can be aimed manually as well. It is not seen after it is used.

Train-Operator-inator


Cloud-Magnetize-inator

An inator Doof designed for the U.S.-Canada Evil Exchange Program (15:32). Professor Bannister created it and it seemingly made clouds magnetic for some purpose (21:51). Technically Doof never actually created it, but he did design it for his plan so he should be capable of recreating it if he needs to.

Eat-It-All-inator


Switch-Place-inator

An inator that fires two beams at once and switches the position of whatever they hit. Doof was able to use this to swap a shark with Perry to put him in a tank (4:55), and then the tank with a lightbulb to trap Perry in it (5:22). Doof's plan was to switch the hair from one person and give it to another person in order to sell his Get Back Hair product, so it seems to be able to swap the air in a position as well. The beam is even able to go through certain objects as it was able to swap the Chupacabra with Buford when the Chupacabra was in a covered box (10:12). Perry took the inator from Doof to use for his own purpose, but it was never actually destroyed.

Blend-In-To-The-Background-inator


Power-Drain-inator


A second version of the inator was later created, but it was modified by MODOK and thus wouldn't be available to Doof.

Sloth-inator


Oatmeal-To-Porridge-inator

Presumably, it would turn oatmeal into porridge, though we never actually see it do anything onscreen.

Multi-Helio-Tactical-Baboon-Glom-inator


Waffle-inator


Disintegrator-inator


Inflate-inator


De-Clutter-inator


Ninety-Degree-Turn-inator

An inator that makes whoever is hit with the blast turn exactly 90 degrees to the side (3:15). It can even work on things as large as an airplane (10:17), and the inator comes equipped with a "random-fire mode" (10:03). The inator was originally created to try and make Roger turn ninety degrees and humiliate himself by insulting the mayor of Stumblegimp (5:03), but it turns out the punishment for turning ninety degrees was changed ages ago and Roger wasn't embarrassed. The inator was pushed off the edge of the balcony by Perry.

Warthog-Sprayer-inator


Gum-Under-The-Shoe-inator


Unretrograde-inator

In order to fix his astrology, Doof created this inator to reverse the movement of Mercury. Anything zapped by the inator will be forced to go backwards and reverse whatever they were doing (5:40). Norm, for example, went backwards throughout his entire morning before the effects wore off. His ability to talk and know what he's doing indicate that it isn't time manipulation, it is likely taking over someone's body and forcing them to reverse their movements (6:18). It is also not a mental control, as it was intended to work on the planet Mercury, so it must be reversing the movements directly. When Phineas was hit with it, he proceeded to to take down the entire structure in just a couple of seconds (10:32). Like most inators, this comes with a self-destruct button, though this one requires a nickel to be inserted first (10:49). 

Impersonator-inator

An inator that creates a holographic projection over whatever it hits, disguising them as someone else. Interestingly, the holographic images seem to somehow dictate where a person can hit and be hit, as Doof's range was shortened after projecting as a pig (8:49), and Perry was able to punch as a gorilla would after looking like one (7:15). If the inator is destroyed, all holograms are undone (9:56). 

Transmogrification-Backpack-inator


I-Don't-Care-inator

Meh, whatever.


Motivate-inator


Mid-Life-Crisis-inator


Shift-The-Earth's-Position-Further-Away-From-The-Sun-inator


Repulse-inator


The Doofenzombies will typically be identical to each other if a human was transformed, but on animals it turns them into weird mindless Doof-animal hybrids (31:29). We also see that the Giant Floating Baby Head was transformed into a floating Doofenzombie head (12:55). Typically all these zombies will say is "Lots of me", though they have been seen saying other things (14:40) and even revealing who they were before (25:16), usually for a joke. It should be noted that Doofenshmirtz himself is immune to the infection, likely due to his resemblance to the zombies (37:59).

The inator itself requires so much power that using it once will cause a mass blackout across all of Danville (19:19), and cause the inator to explode (11:22). Additionally, the zombies will turn back into normal if exposed to water (42:16), though obviously as a mindless zombie they wouldn't be able to do that knowingly.

Galactic-Travel-inator


Axe-inator


Time-Travel-inator

An inator that can time travel by going into the timestream. Doof initially created this inator to go to the past when an orange soda he wanted wasn't banned, but it ended up becoming essential to saving the world from Pistachions with them being able to go back in time to when the takeover first began. The inator runs on time juice, and if it runs out of time juice it will be stuck in the timestream. It also isn't able to go to an exact date, because the cupholder is blocking it

Shock-Absorber-Absorb-inator


Transport-inator


Reconstitute-inator

An inator that seems to revert whatever it affects into a previous state. It was intended to turn raisins into grapes (a, 0:50), but Doof was unhappy with it, so he threw it away and accidentally turned a triceratops skeleton into a living triceratops (a, 2:28). 

De-Gum-inator


Go-Home-inator


Shenanig-inator


Hand-To-Foot-inator


Dust-Devil-inator


Robotic-Hamper-Helper-inator


Clone-inator


Reduce-inator

A handheld inator resembling a ladybug. It is able to shrink the size of something, even capable of turning ions into tiny ionitas according to Doof (13:08). It also has a reverse setting that makes something grow massive, like it did to Diogee (18:11). It was meant to reduce the size of the Sphere of Calamity, but because it was set on reverse, it only made it grow bigger. 

Shush-inator


Flataplatinator


Used by Doofenshmirtz in the final boss battle of the Phineas and Ferb DS game, the Flataplatinator's main purpose seems to be capturing Perry. It is tough enough to survive a large wrecking ball falling directly onto it and was completely unaffected by an attack from Perry, with Doof claiming that it is completely invincible. It comes equipped with two barrels on the back that can launch random objects, such as bunnies or hats. It is also able to launch a green orb that can shrink anyone hit by it, though it appears to be ineffective as Perry grows back to normal size seconds after getting shrunk. It eventually was destroyed in a big explosion that reached all across Danville to Phineas and Ferb's house. As seen in the Perry the Platypus theme song, it also has a remote that can be used to control it outside the machine.

Slow-inator


An inator ray that Doofenshmirtz made to slow all of the fast food chains in the Tri-State Area, for an unknown reason. It slows anything hit with it, as seen when it zapped Phineas's skateboard and slowed it down. It was never destroyed on-screen, though presumably it was eventually destroyed.

Agent P's World Showcase Adventure inators

A series of inators Doof uses around the world to try and take over different parts of the world in various ways. These all come from Agent P's World Showcase Adventure attraction at the World Showcase at Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort, which no longer exists as it was replaced by a Ducktales-themed attraction in 2020. The inators in the various adventures are as follows:


Anti-Magnet-Antenna-inator


Photomosaic-inator


Stinky-Food-Thrower-inator

A mech-like inator that Doof uses in the educational LeapFrog game Food Fight Frenzy (yes really). It shoots out a combination of broccoli, fish, chili dogs, and cheese, three food items at a time, and can also launch meat sauce high into the air. It was defeated when Perry used Phineas and Ferb's water balloon launcher against it.

Inator Overload inators

A series of inators featured in the game Inator Overload. Used by Evil Carl against Perry, they were all created by Doof originally so he should have access to them. Not including the Shrink-inator (which was talked about earlier), the inators in the game are:


Look-Back-inator


Robot-inator

A giant, tower-sized customizable robot from the game Robot-inator. The inator can be made of pre-made parts or can have new parts drawn on it (by the player, but presumably in-universe it can be done by Doofenshmirtz). The inator is said to be the ultimate robot and unleash an unprecedented reign of terror on the Tri-State Area.

Duplicat-inator

An inator that duplicates whatever it hits. Doof uses this to steal Phineas and Ferb's portals, and then continuously to duplicate his transport-inators (see below).

Transport-inator

A group of inators that act as portals between each other. Each Transport-inator is matched with another one, and through repeated use of the Duplicat-inator Doof has over 9,000 of them by the end of the game.

Freeze-inator


Hockey-inator


Minion-inator


Where's My Perry inators

The mobile game Where's My Perry features many devices that are called inators. Some of these are named in-game while some are not, but I'll group them all here together.

Sticky-inator


Animat-inator


Pacifier-inator


Levitate-inator


Make-Me-Really-Big-inator

Upside-Down-Cake-inator


Plat-To-Oct-inator


Food-Chain-Reverse-inator


Dooftastic-inator


Exhaust-inator


Rubber-Steal-inator


Glow-inator

An inator that makes whatever it hits start glowing. Like the last one I was unable to find the rest of the comic online so I do not know what happens to the inator.

Snooze-inator


Poot-And-Toot-inator


Rampaging-Monster-inator

Get-Lost-inator


Cute-Puppy-Call-inator


Gloat-inator


Bake-Sale-Obliterate-inator


Change-Inator-inator

During the Spot the Diff marathon of Phineas and Ferb episodes, Doof created this inator that was able to change previous episodes in different ways, such as adding a herd of cows or changing characters' hair colors. There doesn't seem to be any affect on the real world and only affected the rerun of the episode however. 

Audience-Control-inator


Enlarge-inator


Baby-inator


Erase-inator


Unnamed Inators

Some inators that Doof has shown off throughout the series do not have official names. However, they are still, unmistakably, inators, so they will be listed here. Here are the unnamed ones throughout the series.


Unseen Inators

Occasionally there will be a reference to an Inator named, and sometimes given some idea of what it does, without it being seen. They will be listed here. A lot of these have their effect shown or talked about in some way, though some will not, and even if an affect can be inferred, I will not be doing so and just be labelling them as "effect not shown". They are:


Unnamed and Unseen Inators

There are a couple of inators that are not seen or named in the series, that we still see or hear about their effects. While they technically aren't ever confirmed to be "inators" exactly, they will still go here.


Traps

Doof has plenty of traps that he uses to trap his enemies in, typically Perry, though he has used them against the pizza delivery guy before (21:20), as well as Major Monogram and Carl. This is typically his first weapon to use when getting into a confrontation, and he will often use the opportunity to talk about his new evil plan in great detail. He has said before that traps are not meant to fully trap Perry for too long, only enough so that he can get his entire plan through, though there have been several that seemed to require outside help for Perry to escape from. Doof also has a sensor in his lair for whenever a trap is engaged so that he can be alerted for any new arrivals. They typically activate automatically, though Doof can also activate them manually with remotes, and they activate so fast that not even Perry can react to them. Doof has a wide variety of traps, including:


...So the blog was getting too long for blogger to easily hold all of it in one post, so this is the end of Part 1 (it's simply easier if I do it this way). Part 2 will contain the rest of Doof's inventions, his abilities, feats, and other Phineas and Ferb scaling things.
